Description
When Neil Young entered Shangri La Studio with the band Promise Of The Real a few months ago, there were a lot of images and feelings careening around his soul. The country was heading in a direction Young had never seen, even though up until then he thought he'd seen it all. But something different was happening, and it had gotten inside his music. "I'm a Canadian by the way and I love the USA," he sings on the first song "Already Great." The ethos of The Visitor can be summed up in the refrain of "Already Great" where Young insists, "Already great, you're already great. You're the promise land, the helping hand. No wall. No hate. No fascist USA. WHOSE STREET? OUR STREET." From those words, Neil Young was ready to take a musical journey on his new album The Visitor like he had never taken before. It was one where he'd even surprise himself, always the mark of a creative leap. By the end of the recording sessions, he knew he'd made his most diverse album going all the way back to Harvest in 1972, when America was also in the throes of becoming unhinged. Neil Young didn't blink then, and he is not blinking now.

Tracklist
1. Already Great
2. Fly By Night Deal
3. Almost Always
4 Stand Tall
5. Change of Heart
6. Carnival
7. Diggin’ a Hole
8. Children of Destiny
9. When Bad Got Good
10. Forever

I saw the title of your post and thought that things weren't going so hot with Darryl Hannah anymore

Here we go:



It appears to be a preview of the next NEW album, as opposed to all of the Neil Young reissues/remasters/reconfigurations that keep appearing on the release schedule for summer and fall.

Oh god!

If it's possible to be worse than his last album with 'Promise Of The Real'

Horrible song.

I'm sorry to say this but I think Hitchhiker is off the release list.

Neil, you have done it again!

I really hope that Neil dumps Promise Of The Real soon. To my ears, they're just Crazy Horse Lite, and not nearly as good.

You're on exactly the same wavelength as I was thinking Linda.

i was thinking.....

the impending "possibility" of a new neil young album probably means the inevitable delay(once again) of the 2 box sets now slated for a september release.

linda is most likely correct in that those will push back closer to christmas.

neil neil neil neil neil neil neil.

Neil's material has been pick and choose since he moved to Geffen so this is nothing new. He puts out some good stuff and puts out some complete ****. This new song definitely fits in with the second category IMO.

I will wait patiently for my Decade to arrive (hopefully Monday) and the two multi-disc sets sometime in the next millennium . I am not cancelling since I locked them in at a low price. :D

Neil Young Announces New Album The Visitor. 12/1/2017

Neil Young has once again teamed up with his backing band the Promise of the Real (which features Willie Nelson’s son Lukas). Their new album is called The Visitor, and it’s out December 1 via Reprise. It features a new song called “Already Great.” Listen to it below. Neil and Promise of the Real worked together on the 2016 album EARTH and the political 2015 album The Monsanto Years. Earlier this year, Young and Promise of the Real also released a one-off single called “Children of Destiny.” The song preached an anti-Trump message: “Stand up for what you believe/Resist the powers that be.”

The Visitor:
01 Already Great
02 Fly By Night Deal
03 Almost Always
04 Stand Tall
05 Change of Heart
06 Carnival
07 Diggin’ a Hole
08 Children of Destiny
09 When Bad Got Good
10 Forever

sounds just like the last album with the promise of the real, and i'm not sure if that's good or bad.
