"Fork In The Road," Neil Young's new album, has just arrived in stores, so head out to your local store and pick up a copy. You can also get it from Neil's site, or get it at iTunes, which also has a version with four videos, including an exclusive video for the song "Fuel Line."



Friday, March 20, 2009 

Neil Young has made another video off his album "Fork In The Road"! This time, it's for the song "Cough Up The Bucks," and it's premiering on Myspace right now. 

This is the fourth hand-made video from the "Fork In The Road" album. Neil has been quietly making these videos completely on his own, with nothing more than a simple camera and an idea, and more are coming as Neil continues to shoot each day. These revolutionary videos do more with a zero-dollar budget than a $300,000 dollar budget could ever dream of - they're pure, renegade Neil Young at their best.  Click here to check it out. And head over to neilyoung.com to pre-order the new album - in stores April 7th!

PRE-ORDER NEIL YOUNG'S NEW ALBUM FROM HIS
SITE!




Neil Young's newest studio album,
"Fork In The Road," is coming on April 7th, but you can pre-order
the special CD/DVD version (which comes with select videos of the
album's songs) right now by going to neilyoung.com and clicking on the banner on the
homepage.


Neil has been an activist his entire career,
and over the past few years has become involved in developing
different fuel possibilities. Along with Johnathan Goodwin, their
Linc Volt project (lincvolt.com) using alternative energy to power
Young's 1959 Lincoln Continental is now finished. From that
development and other inspirations, the songs on "Fork In The Road"
are an emotional response to the current social and ecological
questions facing the world’s population. Recorded in 2008 between
tour dates, Young and his band Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar,
keyboards), Chad Cromwell (drums), Rick Rosas (bass), Pegi Young
(vocals) and Anthony Crawford (vocals, guitar) were instantly
sparked playing new songs like "Johnny Magic," "Fuel Line," "Light a
Candle" and others, roaring through the sessions at top
speed.

Uncut magazine's Bud Scoppa writes about the album:
"Fork In The Road" finds Young back in his rusted-out garage,
looking under the hood of a world badly in need of an overhaul.
Employing the classic American metaphor of the endless highway, he
sets out on a road trip through these troubled times, finding much
to fret about, but fueled by the dogged belief that we can get
through this mess. And if 'Just singing a song won't change the
world,' as Young acknowledges in the rousing, Zuma-like 'Singing a
Song,' that's not gonna keep him from rockin' in whatever’s left of
the free world."

Get it now at neilyoung.com! And
stay tuned for more videos coming from the new
album!

CSNY/ DÉJÀ VU

A film by Neil Young

 

Neil Young's new film CSNY Deja Vu comes to UK cinemas on July 18th.

Also available from July 18th on Film Flex in Movies On Demand on Virgin Media

 

The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the CSNY "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America. The film examines the band's connection to its audience in both political and musical terms, and examines the relationship between Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment and today's post-9/11 environment. A Vietnam veteran sums it all up: "It's deja vu all over again."

 

"One of the finest music documentaries in recent memory… a resounding success"

Time Out ****

 

"An exceptional rockumentary...riveting!"

Empire ****

 

Featuring: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Steven Colbert

 

Short Synopsis:

The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the CSNY "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America.  The film examines the band's connection to its audience in both political and musical terms, and examines the relationship between Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment and today's post-9/11 environment. A Vietnam veteran sums it all up: "It's deja vu all over again."

 

Long Synopsis:

Since their debut in the late 'sixties, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have functioned as the "town criers" of their generation. With songs like "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom", CSNY were in the forefront of Vietnam-era protest and anti-war sentiment. Though fondly remembered for their harmonies and love songs, the band has never lost their political edge.

 

"CSNY: Deja Vu" finds the band heading out on their "Freedom of Speech 2006" of North America, featuring music from Neil Young's controversial "Living With War" CD. With "Embedded" reporter Mike Cerre aboard, the film documents audience reactions to the music and the band's ongoing connection with its fans, all against the backdrop of the Iraq/Afghanistan War.  The film also examines events surrounding the Tour in the crucial election season of 2006.

 

Songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as the film examines the issues surrounding the integration of politics  and art.

 

About the Director:

Bernard Shakey is the autocratic Svengali behind a series of films featuring Neil Young.  His films include (Journey Though The Past, Rust Never Sleeps, Human Highway, greendale). His company name, Shakey Pictures, provides an apt description of the relationship between the director and Mr. Young.

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                          
        CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE
        ALBUM TO BE RELEASED THIS MONTH
       
        FREEDOM OF SPEECH 2006 TOUR RECORDING OUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH DOCUMENTARY FILM
       
        CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE is a sixteen track audio companion to CSNY: Déjà Vu, the new documentary film directed by Neil Young that opens in theaters at the end of this month. The album will be released by Reprise Records on July 22nd and serves as the film's de facto soundtrack.
       
        The film chronicles Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's 2006 North of American Freedom of Speech Tour that focused on the musicians' stand against the War in Iraq and the impact that conflict has had on public opinion.  While the documentary deals with the interaction between the band, audience, media and general population, the album includes full-length versions of songs that are heard as excerpts in the film.  In some ways, the album serves as a kind of live greatest hits collection augmented by key songs from Young's earlier, controversial Living With War album. It offers the listener an opportunity to experience the legendary group's repertoire through the prism of contemporary conflict.   In the film, songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as issues surrounding the integration of politics and art are examined and observed.
       
        The performances are presented as they happened, with no overdubs, making CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE nothing less than exactly what its title indicates, a rarity these days when most "live" albums are tweaked to perfection in post-production.  The only instance of "studio magic," so to speak is a 100 voice choir which was recorded prior to the tour at Capitol Records Studios in Hollywood.  Concert audiences heard the choir's performance piped into concert venues so that aspect is retained in the album as it serves to replicate the actual concert experience.
       
        In a recent Billboard interview, Young who produced the album with filmmaker L.A. Johnson explained the idea behind the approach.  "It really is CSNY. It's not overdubbed, There's no fixes. It's straight from the board.  The basic mixes are the mixes that people heard when we were playing it," Young explained. "So it's got rough spots all the way through it, which I think is refreshing, especially considering the subject matter. It is what it is, and that's the message of the music."  Backing musicians who performed on the tour and heard on the album include Rick Rosas (bass), Chad Cromwell (drums), Spooner Oldham (keyboards), Ben Keith (pedal steel) and Tom Bray (trumpet).  100 Voices Choir was conducted by Darrell Brown and Rosemary Butler.
       
        Since the group's inception in the 1960's, joining elements of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Hollies, its members have been icons of musical activism.  The film and the album are extensions of that CSNY tradition that continues to this day. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young have all been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Crosby was inducted as part of the Byrds and, separately, for his role in Crosby, Stills & Nash; Stills was inducted for his role in both the Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Nash was inducted as a founding member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and Neil Young was inducted as part of Buffalo Springfield and as a solo artist.
       
        The film CSNY: Déjà Vu is in theatres and offered as video on demand on July 25, released through Lionsgate.
