"I woke up one morning and I heard somebody saying there was some scientists saying something about COVID, or some doctors and they were saying something about COVID and how many people were dying in hospitals and misinformation.

I just called up my management and said, “We’re out of there. Get me off.” And we’ll be fine, and it was a little shocking because they know all the [streaming] numbers. Who cares? You know, who cares? What’s his name? [Spotify CEO] Daniel Ek? He cares about money."

The way I look at it, that just turned me off and I made an instant decision — I didn’t think about it at all — just take my music off, we don’t need it. We’ve got all these other places. And it sounds better at the other places. Why would I want to keep it on Spotify when it sounds like a pixilated movie?

     


                            NEIL YOUNG ABOUT SELLING THE PUBLISGING RIGHTS TO HIS CATALOG  

I wanted to sell my songs because I don’t have to worry about a fucking thing now.

I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do. I’ve got the end of my life to go out doing exactly what it is I want to do and not doing what I don’t want to do.

Unless it hurts somebody that I love, then I really have to think about it, but when it comes to expressing who you are and what you can do, if you’re constricted by money and a lot of people are relying on you, you don’t have to do that.

You spend 75 years getting to the spot. You don’t have to pay for what you did. You just sell what you want and you use the money to be able to go forward living life the way you want to live it and to make the examples. That’s the way I feel about it. I don’t have to go on a tour if I don’t want to go on a tour.


The garage band teamed up with Rick Rubin for their newest record, but the E Street Band's schedule makes a tour with guitarist Nils Lofgren a challenge.

Six months ago, Neil Young reached out to the three members of Crazy Horse and told them he was ready to cut a new LP. They recorded their last two albums (2019’s Colorado and 2021’s Barn) at remote studios in Colorado where they occasionally had to use oxygen tanks to deal with the high altitude, but this time around he wanted to head to Malibu, California, so they could work with Rick Rubin at his beachfront studio, Shangri-La. (Rolling Stone)

The result is World Record (out Nov. 18), an 11-track collection where Young and the Horse confront the destruction of our environment (“Love Earth,” “This Old Planet”), global disorder (“The World,” “Walkin’ On The Road”), and learning to live with deep regrets (“Chevrolet”). Much like Colorado and Barn, it’s a moody, reflective work packed with gentle ballads, though there are occasional moments where Young plugs in Old Black and revisits the spirit of Rust Never Sleeps and Zuma. “We got into this magical space together,” says Crazy Horse bassist Billy Talbot. “And the rock & roll gods were with us the whole time.”

 


Neil Young on Love Heart

The reason I wrote Love Earth is because I see it as a simple message.

If you do good things to Earth and try to keep the planet clean and taken care of, she will take care of you and your grandchildren in return.

It’s a positive way to look at Climate Change. Do what you can. Try not to support Factory farms. Try always getting clean food. Organic is clean. Local usually is clean. Remember the animals piled on top of one another in the factory sheds where they live their sad lives to make the hotdogs you get in the big stores. Don’t support that.

Learn what you are eating. Remember Climate Change started years ago with Factory farms’ destructive practices. Try to remember Family farms with green fields and cows grazing peacefully.

Strive for clean food. Learn the source. Think about the cost to Earth as well as the cost to your wallet. It’s not easy or convenient to do but it’s good for your grandchildren’s future.

love Earth
be well, Neil


Coinciding with the announcement, Young and Crazy Horse have shared the first song from ‘World Record’, a tribute to mother nature titled ‘Love Earth’. The track sees Young muse on earth’s beauty, likening blue skies and crystal waters to a fanciful romance. “We lived by the sun and had it all”, Young sings, “We were living in a dream”

The songs for World Record started coming together not long after Barn came out in December 2021. “Neil reached out to us and was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got two or three songs,'” says Lofgren. “‘When I get a batch, we’ll record again. Maybe in the summer.'”

But the tunes came faster than Young expected, and he asked them in late April of this year if getting together on May 1 — just one day after a full moon — was possible. “I went, ‘May 1?’ recalls Lofgren. “‘That’s not summer. That’s a week and a half away!'”

 

Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s ‘World Record’ tracklist is:
1. ‘Love Earth’
2. ‘Overhead’
3. ‘I Walk With You (earth ringtone)’
4. ‘This Old Planet (changing days)’
5. ‘The World (is in trouble now)’
6. ‘Break The Chain’
7. ‘The Long Day Before’
8. ‘Walkin’ On The Road (to the future)’
9. ‘The Wonder Won’t Wait’
10. ‘Chevrolet’
11. ‘This Old Planet reprise’

 

Early in 2021, Neil Young sold half of his song catalogue to the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, a British investment company that’s been buying up song catalogues for huge sums in recent years. The terms of Neil Young’s sale were not disclosed. At the time, Hipgnosis founder Merck Mercuriadis told ABC News, “There will never be a ‘Burger Of Gold,’ but we will work together to make sure everyone gets to hear [Neil Young’s songs] on Neil’s terms.” It’s possible that their deal allows for covers of Young’s songs to show up in TV commercials without Young’s personal blessing. It’s possible that Neil Young is grumpy about this. We’ve reached out to Neil Young’s rep for clarification.
