EARTH

2016 two CD live release from the veteran singer/songwriter. The album features performances of songs from a range of Young s albums including last year s The Monsanto Years 1990 s Ragged Glory and 1970 s After the Gold Rush. The audio was captured during Young s 2015 tour with The Promise of the Real fronted by Willie Nelson s sons Lukas (vocals/guitar) and Micah (guitar vocals). The tour included Young performing solo and with the band for a full electric show. A new take on some of Young s most beloved songs Earth features the live recordings along with added musical overdubs as well as sounds of the earth such as city sounds like car horns sounds of insects and animal sounds from bears birds crickets bees horses cows - creating a very strange yet beautiful atmosphere. quot;Ninety-eight uninterrupted minutes long Earth flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughout my life songs I have written about living here on our planet together quot; says Young. quot;Our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience as well and the animals insects birds and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times.quot;.
