Eight black and white films of Neil Young performing songs from his new album, Le Noise, have been released on his YouTube channel. The films, which were shot by Adam CK Vollick, feature Young singing on a stool with no band or overdubs to distract the listener.

Le Noise hit the shelves on Sept. 28 and has been gaining support by critics all over the country, with The Washington Post calling it, “An angry folk album at heart, it braces Young’s stalwart folk-rock songs against a barrage of whirligig sounds usually better suited to emerging electro bands from Brooklyn.”

Though no official tour has been scheduled in support of the new album, Neil Young tickets are available for Oct. 23-24 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., for Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit.

Farm Aid celebrates its 25th Anniversary with their annual benefit concert at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Saturday October 2nd. Farm Aid is a non-profit organization formed in 1985 by Willie Nelson, John Melencamp and Neil Young. The organization has since raised over $37 million dollars to “raise awareness about the loss of family farms and raise funds to keep family farms on their land.”

This year’s benefit will feature performances by Kenny Chesney, Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, Jeff Tweedy, Band of Horses, The BoDeans, Amos Lee and Robert Francis. Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Neil Young will headline.

Willie Nelson spoke of the upcoming event, “This anniversary concert is a chance for everyone to join with Farm Aid to support the family farmers who are growing hope for America, through the good food they produce, the economies they build, and their care for the soil and water. Family farmers are the backbone of our country and right now we need them more than ever.”

The Farm Aid official site has a plethora of information regarding locally grown food, genetic engineering, and the basics of food packaging and what it means for us. Don’t forget to check out their blog for up to date news and discussions.

Neil Young has had nearly a 50-year career, so it was fitting that he won his first ever Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. The winning album, “Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972)” contains about 120 tracks from Young’s earlier days.

Young’s song “Fork in the Road” from the album of the same name received a nomination for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance; however, that honor went to Bruce Springsteen for his song “Working on a Dream.”

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were held on Jan. 31 at 8 pm. ET in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. To see the complete list of winners, click here.
