Long May You Young

All the boys agree, this is a good album. it's Neil doing what he does best, and finding exactly the best people for the job to accompany and produce a solid record. It's Peace Trail. We talk about it's origins. The pipeline protests. We semi-worship Keltner a bit. We read some mixed Facebook reviews. A robot orgy / Jacket family reunion is discussed. Russ and Mike at some point have a Malkavich-off. We get on the Peace Trail and ride. Thank your Alexa later. Pantheonpodcasts...

It's good to be back, baby. We're talking Earth today, but in true LMYY style - we're also talking Will Smith, Taylor Hawkins, WWIII and if Crazy Horse were muppets. We do eventually get into the album. We've got mixed feelings, but overall we leave with on a positive note! Pantheonpodcasts.com for a ton of other great music themed shows. And super huge thanks to the patreon family at Patreon.com/longmayyouyoung - you folks keep us going. Longmayyouyoungpodcast...

A Neil Young podcast walks into a pub and talks about Thin Lizzy... It's Saint Patrick's Day! So we're taking a quick break from Neil's catalogue and diving into some good old Irish rock n' roll - Thin Lizzy's first self titled album. You're probably asking yourself if a Neil Young podcast can just decide to do an episode about something not really Neil related at all and the answer is we can do whatever we want...

It's mind-blowing to me (Luke) how many people have missed this album, including myself. I don't know if it's because of the album title, or if it's because it's one of his later records, but after spending close to a month listening, it's nothing but a tragedy that I, and so many others, slept on this one. The Monsanto Years rules. We talk about the album title. We get into Promise of the Real. Tim Cackett (Town Meeting) hops on towards the end and chimes in for a few songs...

Very excited for today's episode because we got to talk to our old pal Derek Webb! Derek has been a fixture in the Nashville music scene for over two decades and according to Luke - he's a lot like Neil. We get into his favorite Neil albums, the songwriting process, his experience with record labels and a bunch more. Honestly, it's one of those rare episodes where we don't go completely off the rails. It's kinda nice...

Joel's still with us as we wrap up our thoughts on Storytone. We go song by song and compare versions. Luke almost makes Mike quit with his careless commentary on blues music. We find out Neil might be Joel's dad. Honestly, the more I think about it the more I'm sure Neil is definitely Joel's dad. Even if it's not true, I'm happy to just start that rumor. Joel is Neil's son. You heard it here first, Youngsters. Longmayyouyoungpodcast.com for merch and other crap. Pantheonpodcasts...

I'm sure this will saturate our episodes for the weeks and probably months to come, but we felt like we had to do at least one episode specifically about what's going on right now. We give our opinions on Rogan, spotify and the whole situation here. Do we cover everything? No. But it's a start. And there's more to be said. Ironic that the next album we'll be covering is The Monsanto Years, no?

Joel Desmarais-Racine (Don't Be Denied podcast, Neil Young Canadianposting) joins the boys all the way from Canada for this mammoth two-parter where we try and tackle every inch of Storytone! We discuss the making of the recordings. We get into our favorites and least favorites of the 3 versions Neil released. Joel brings up Neil's relationship with Pegi vs. Daryl. Luke and Russ feel a bit like Disney Princess's. Joel can't believe we've never seen Predator 2...

We're back, baby! Delayed a week or two because Luke and Russ caught a little bit a 'rona, but now we're back and we're jumping right into A Letter Home! Mixed feelings right off the bat with this one. Mike comes in hot (he's back on the scotch...) and echoes our friend Joel's sentiment that it feel a bit gimmicky. Luke disagrees. Russ is somewhere in the middle. The episode is going along smoothly enough until Al gets brought up, then all hell breaks loose. You'll see what we mean...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Youngsters! It's our Christmas spectacular! Santa shows up. The White Russians keep flowing. We try and talk about Ben Keith's Christmas At The Ranch but it's mostly just a beautiful chaotic mess of an episode. This episode gets ridiculous - even more than usual if you can believe that - but we do want to let everyone who's been listening this year know how much we love and appreciate you. You feel like family to us...
