Neil Young has a new song with his new band The Chrome Hearts called ‘Big Change is Coming’.

The Chrome Hearts are:

Neil Young Guitar and vocal
Micah Nelson Guitar
Corey McCormick Bass
Anthony LoGerfo Drums
Spooner Oldham Farfisa Organ

Micah Nelson, Corey McCormick and Anthony LoGerfo were Promise of the Real and backed Neil for the albums ‘The Monsanto Years’ (2015), ‘The Visitor’ (2017) and ‘Paradox’ (soundtrack) 2018 as well as the live albums ‘Earth’ (2016) and ‘Noise & Flowers’ (2022).

The legendary Spooner Oldham was part of Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section in the 60s and 70s and played on Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman”, Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally”, and Aretha Franklin’s “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)”.

Spooner played on Neil’s ‘Comes A Time’ (1978), ‘Old Ways’ (1985), ‘Harvest Moon’ (1992), ‘Unplugged’ (1993), ‘Silver and Gold’ (2000), ‘Road Rock Vol. 1 (2002) and ‘Prairie Wind’ (2005)

Neil Young wrote the song. It was produced by Lou Adler and Neil Young, engineered and mixed by John Hanlon and mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

According to Neil’s label Warner Music, “’Big Change Is Coming’ is a song that looks square in the face of so many of the moving parts of where the world is turning today, and the way the power of Young and his band capture the feeling of these times is something that needs to be heard.

“Neil Young is a songwriter and musician who has always found a unique way to address how life’s changes become a part of modern life. For seven decades, his songs have addressed where life has been and where it is going. “big change is coming” takes another big bold step in looking at where that might be. The way this new song confronts the big questions facing life right now makes it an instant thriller”.

Neil Young has had a productive 21st Century.

Are You passionate? (2002)
