Neil Young fans have yet another reason to rush to one of the shows on his tour. The Canadian rock legend included five new songs in his repertoire. They are off his highly anticipated next album.
Young’s new album has no title or release date yet but rumour has it that producer Daniel Lanois is on board. Lanois is the genius who has worked with U2, Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel to name a few.
Listening to the new songs performed on his Twisted Road Solo Tour, the next album by this Canadian icon continues with Young’s favourite themes. The subjects of love, war and peace have been his trademark over the decades.
Young played three of these new songs on an acoustic guitar, Love & War, Peaceful Valley and You Never Call. The song Sign Of Love shows the 64-year old rocker has still got it when he picks up an electric guitar. The fifth new song performed during the tour finds Neil Young seated at the piano and singing Leia.
Neil Young proves with these new songs that he is still at the top of his game. It is not clear whether these new songs will be included on the follow-up to Fork in the Road, released in 2009.
