The Monsanto Years

Neil Young

A sprawling, loose-limbed protest record targeting corporate agribusiness. Raw electric jams meet earnest acoustic warnings in a live-to-tape movie theater session.

Find on Amazon

It's Neil Young yelling at corporations over some really great, loose garage-rock jams.

A defiant and urgent call to action wrapped in loose, organic rock and roll.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The whistling hook in 'A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop' that turns a corporate critique into a campfire singalong.
The heavy, distorted guitar crunch of 'Big Box' that mirrors the monolithic weight of the retail giants it attacks.
The gentle, environmental reverence of 'Wolf Moon' providing a rare moment of melodic respite from the album's anger.
