Neil Young has announced a new album—his first with his recently assembled touring band, The Chrome Hearts. He leads Talkin to the Trees with a reliably on-the-nose protest song, “Lets Roll Again,” rallying the American car industry to “protect our children” by manufacturing electric vehicles at a rate to match China, which is “way ahead—they’re building clean cars.” (“That’s hard to swallow!” he adds.) Check out the video below, along with the album tracklist.
In verses to the tune of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land,” Young zeroes in on Elon Musk: “If you’re a fascist, then get a Tesla/If it’s electric/It doesn’t matter/If you’re a Democrat, then taste your freedom/Get whatever you want, and taste your freedom.” The video accompanies the verse with a “Heil Tesla” image depicting Musk’s Nazi-style salute.
