Legendary music icon Neil Young might be best known for his tracks Heart of Gold and Rockin In The Free World, but he is soon to gain even more attention from his latest record set for release. In collaboration with the Willie Nelson sons, Young has recently announced the debut of a new album called The Monsanto Years.
As you might have guessed, the album is made up of songs criticizing food industry giant Monsanto, which Neil has spoken out against for years. On June 16 the record will be released, with Young and Promise of the Real touring to support it.
Some of the track titles include Seeds, Too Big to Fail, Monsanto Years, and Rock Starbucks. This is one activist not afraid to sing his mind.

I didn't realize he was recording this with Willie Nelson's sons. Nice!

We watched a special on the tv machine of various artist singing his songs and I'm here to tell you he is one hell of a song writer. I can't wait for this new album to come out.
