Yes, LE NOISE !"},"content":{"rendered":"

This week Neil Young released his new CD, with the title \u201cLe Noise\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>As can be expected from Neil, this album is something completely unexpected.\u00a0 <\/span>The man plays solo, nothing special about that, but several songs are played with only an electric guitar.\u00a0 <\/span>He did this already once with \u201cMother Earth\u201d several years ago, but then just one song to close a CD.\u00a0 <\/span>This Le Noise contains very astonishing music and very great sound, keep in mind that for the first time Neil works together with Daniel Lanois.\u00a0 <\/span>The latter is\/was producer of many other great artists, as for instance Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Talking Heads.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the CD a couple of typical Neil songs can be found :\u00a0\u201cAngry World\u201d is about the world of banks and money, while \u201cLove and War\u201d is another song against violence and the cruel things that happen around the world.\u00a0 The rumor goes that all songs are recorded during the nights\u00a0of full moon in the house of Daniel Lanois\u00a0….\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last couple of months Neil Young lost several of his old friends, e.g. L.A. Johnson passed away, the one who produced Neil\u2019s movie \u201cJourney through the past\u201d in the early 70\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/span>Ben Keith unexpectedly died, Neils steel guitarist who was working with Neil since Harvest in 1972.\u00a0 <\/span>Neil very often called Ben \u201cMy Brother\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Also Neil\u2019s guitar technician, Larry Cragg is not longer joining Neil on his tours.\u00a0\u00a0I do not<\/span>\u00a0know what happened to Larry who was working for over 40 years with and for Neil Young.\u00a0 <\/span>It is surprising that Neil did not include some tribute to his great friends on the new album.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Although he recently wrote a very nice song for L.A. Johnson, called \u201cYou Never Call\u201d, but it is not included on Le Noise.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have no idea how many unreleased songs Neil must have in his library at this ranch, but for sure a lot.\u00a0 <\/span>And he has the good habit of regularly grabbing some of the older, unreleased material and put that on one of his new albums.\u00a0 <\/span>Also this time \u201cHitchhiker\u201d founds its way to Le Noise.\u00a0 The\u00a0first attempts to write Hitchhiker date back into the ’70s, and since\u00a0the early 90’s Neil included\u00a0Hitchhiker in a couple live shows.\u00a0 Great song, great voice, great guitarplay.\u00a0 <\/span>For those interested to get some goose bumps, check out : <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
