Neil Young will release a brand-new solo album, entitled Le Noise, on September 28th on Reprise Records. The eight-song album is a collaboration between the acclaimed rock icon and musician, songwriter and producer Daniel Lanois, known for his work with U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, The Neville Brothers and many others.
Young and Lanois have crossed paths musically over the course of many years, including Lanois’ performances at Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert and Young’s performance at Farm Aid when Lanois was Willie Nelson’s music director, but this is the first time the two have recorded together. Recorded in Lanois’ home in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles, Le Noise features Young on acoustic and electric guitars with Lanois adding his trademark sonic textures, creating one of the most sonically arresting albums Young has ever recorded. No band, no overdubs; just “a man on a stool and me doing a nice job on the recording,” as Lanois puts it.
“Neil was so appreciative of the sonics that we presented to him,” Lanois says. “He walked in the door and I put an acoustic guitar into his hands—one that I had been working on to build a new sound. That’s the multi-layered acoustic sound that you hear on the songs ‘Love and War’ and ‘Peaceful Valley Boulevard.’ I wanted him to understand that I’ve spent years dedicated to the sonics in my home and that I wanted to give him something he’d never heard before. He picked up that instrument, which had everything—an acoustic sound, electronica, bass sounds—and he knew as soon as he played it that we had taken the acoustic guitar to a new level. It’s hard to come up with a new sound at the back end of 50 years of rock and roll, but I think we did it.”
Le Noise will be released in several formats, including standard CD, vinyl, digital download and as a deluxe CD/DVD. The DVD portion, shot by cinematographer Adam Vollick, will feature eight black-and-white films of Young performing each song solo on acoustic and electric guitar live in the studio. In November, Reprise will also release a Blu-Ray edition, featuring Lanois and Vollick’s beautifully shot films of Young.
Here’s the tracklist:
01 “Walk With Me”
02 “Sign Of Love”
03 “Someone’s Gonna Rescue “You”
04 “Love And War”
05 “Angry World”
06 “Hitchhiker”
07 “Peaceful Valley Boulevard”
08 “Rumblin”

Many live versions of the new tunes are on You Tube from Neil's last tour.
The new material sounds really promising and I'm very excited for this album.
amazon will probably have previews in the coming weeks as the street date nears.

Apparently Yes...But a re-worked version though.
Are you sure it's not a PJ cover?

Is there a studio outtake of this one from the 70's? Its live premiere was 6/23/92 in Lenox, MA.
In any case, I loved seeing him do this in May and am looking forward to hearing the album version.

I think hitchhiker is about 6 maybe 7 minutes when i saw him do it live. and Peaceful Valley seemed about 6 minutes.
I don't think any of them are like the songs chrome dreams 2 had on it (specifically ordinary peoaple, and the two other 9/10 minute songs on that one)
The songs were very cool this summer though and I'm looking forward to hearing this.
