Neil Young Walks the "Peace Trail"

Neil Young will release a brand new studio album, entitled Peace Trail, on December 9th via  Reprise Records. Peace Trail features all new songs that Young wrote since the release of his album
EARTH, this past June. This new album is primarily acoustic and reflects an intimate, sparse approach to each of the ten songs within:

"Neil Young matches the fire in his belly to the poetry from his pen for one of the most gripping outings of his long career. This riveting collection, a spare acoustic-electric hybrid, seethes with righteous indignation over a plethora of social and political injustices, but also soothes with deeply felt empathy for those on the receiving end of iniquity." - Los Angeles Times / Randy Lewis
Peace Trail was recorded at Rick Rubin's Shangri-la Studios and features Young
on vocals and guitar, Jim Keltner on drums, and Paul Bushnell on bass. It was produced
by Young and John Hanlon, mixed by John Hanlon.

Most recently Young previewed five songs from the album during his performances
during the Desert Trip Festival, in Indio, CA. recently which both Rolling Stone
and Entertainment Weekly summed up as simply "explosive."


"Neil slashed and bashed at his guitar, the sound intense and nearly out of control."
- Rolling Stone

The Los Angeles Times called Young's performance "intensely powerful," "furious"
and concluded, "combining passion, energy and stinging content, Young served up
a deeply rewarding performance."
Peace Trail will be released in several configurations: as a physical CD and cassette. A vinyl edition will follow in January.
