EARTH is a live album by Neil Young and Promise of the Real, released on June 17, 2016 on Reprise Records. The album features performances of songs from a range of Young's albums,including last year's (2015) The Monsanto Years, 1990's Ragged Glory, and 1970's After The Gold Rush.The audio was captured during Young's 2015 tour with The Promise Of The Real, fronted by Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar) and Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals) - Willie Nelson's sons. The tour included Young performing solo and with the band for a full electric show. A new take on some of Young's most beloved songs, EARTH features the live recordings, along withadded musical overdubs, as well as sounds of the EARTH, such as city sounds like car horns, soundsof insects, and animal sounds from bears, birds, crickets, bees, horses, cows - creating a very strange, yet beautiful atmosphere. "Ninety-eight uninterrupted minutes long, EARTH flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughoutmy life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together," says Young. "Our animalkingdom is well represented in the audience as well, and the animals, insects, birds, and mammalsactually take over the performances of the songs at times."

Neil Young used his union with the Promise Of The Real [the gangly crew fronted by Willie Nelson's kids Lukas and Micah] to tackle weighty social problems on The Monsanto Years, a record supported by a relatively expansive tour. EARTH, a double album culled from 2015 performances, goes one further, mining ecologically minded Young tunes and then addressing them to mother earth herself. According to Young, the catch is, "our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience as well, and the animals, insects, birds, and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times." This is an understatement. Animal sounds infect EARTH, sometimes swallowing the guitars, sometimes chirping along in rhythm, an affect that is precisely the opposite of natural. EARTH is aggressively artificial, the nature noises grafted upon performances that are indifferent to their presence. Perhaps this tension could be construed as a commentary [man plows through the world without care for his animal brethren] but as executed on EARTH, the tension is entirely accidental. Young and the Promise Of The Real lumber along in their own world, turning out perfectly respectable versions of songs old and new [they have some of the unwieldy sprawl of Crazy Horse but none of the charmingly leaden lurch] and, just when everything seems normal, the chirps, crows, and moos all arrive on a downbeat, sending things into a realm where the psychedelic and the silly coexist. Anybody looking for a straight-up document of Young & the Promise Of The Real may very well be disappointed [all those pesky critters keep getting in the way] but EARTH is better because of its inspired madness: the weirdness isn't merely a reason to listen, but it elevates the album to the status of one of Young's genuinely inspired nutso albums.
