Neil Young + Promise Of The Real

The Monsanto Years
Sealed 2015 2LP 180gm Original Housed In A Gatefold Cover. Neil Young + Promise Of The Real Have Joined Forces And Have Released A New Studio Album, The Monsanto Years. For This Guitar-Centric, Full Steam-Ahead And Highly-Charged Rock Album, Young Is Joined By Promise Of The Real, An LA-Based Rock Band Fronted By Lukas Nelson (Vocals/Guitar), Along With Micah Nelson (Guitar, Vocals), Anthony Logerfo (Drums), Corey Mccormick (Bass) And Tato Melgar (Percussion). Old Folkie That He Is, Neil Young Harbors A Soft Spot For Songs As Protest, And The Monsanto Years Is Full Of Them. Where He Often Railed Against War, Here The Purported Target Is The Agricultural Company Monsanto, A Firm That, Among Other Things, Specializes In Genetically Modified Crops, But Young Uses That As A Pivot To Rage Against All Manner Of Modern Outrages. Apathy Among The Populace, Avarice Among Corporations, And Cultural Homogenization Provide The Throughline On The Monsanto Years, And While The Weathered Hippie Takes Some Time To Lay Down His Electric Guitar And Breathe, This Isn't A Mournful Album Like Living With War, His W-Era Missive. This Is A Raging Record And To That End, Young Hired The Promise Of The Real, A Ragtag Outfit Led By Willie Nelson's Guitarist Son Lukas, To Approximate Crazy Horse's Lop-Legged Lumber.
