Neil Young will release a brand new studio album Peace Trail on December 9th via Reprise Records. Those who pre-order will receive an instant download of the title track (and first single). The announcement also coincides with Neil Young's back catalogue of music becoming available to stream again on services including Spotify and Apple Music.
 
Peace Trail features all new songs that Young wrote since the release of his album Earth, this past June. This new album is primarily acoustic and reflects an intimate, sparse approach to each of the ten songs within. Peace Trail was recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri- la Studios and features Young on vocals and guitar, Jim Keltner on drums, and Paul Bushnell on bass. It was produced by Young and John Hanlon, mixed by John Hanlon.  
 
Most recently Young previewed five songs from the album during his performances during the Desert Trip Festival, in Indio, CA. last week which both Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly summed up as simply “explosive.”
