Long May You Young – Details, episodes & analysis

Hey Youngsters. It's been a minute.  Two things: First: Here's a quick and fun interview with our friend Astrid Young who's got an amazing new project in the works with some of the best in the business. Astrid is one of the best in the game, and just an all around genuinely great person. Check it out and show your support here: https://igg.me/at/ONAGR/x#/  Second: We miss you like crazy, but all good things must come to an end. We're planning on doing 5 or 6 more episodes over the summer, and then wrapping it up for all intents and purposes. That being said, we'll still do some random episodes when the spirit moves (and I'm sure it will move...), but as far as being a regular podcast goes, we'll be eating the proverbial peach. I'm sure there will be much more to say about all this in the next few episodes, but feel free to post your thoughts here on what you might want to hear in the last few episodes. We may or may not take your advice.  We love you all so much. Except you, Nails. You can go to hell.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.com for more incredible music based shows!

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.

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. Mike's out for this one, so our good pal Will Martin is taking his place! We talk about the formation of Thin Lizzy. The range of this album. Russ is mad that he slept on it for so long. We try and figure out who Ireland's Neil Young is. We geek the hell out over Phil's bass playing and Brian's drumming. It's a hell of a time. Truly.  Thanks to Will Martin for filling in for Mike!

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. Honestly I don't know what to write here other than go listen to this album. It's really really good. Get some merch! Longmayyouyoungpodcast.com Join the fun!

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. Also, we fired Mike for this episode and hired our favorite substitute podcaster, Matt Lacorazza. So thanks to him for stepping in. Check out Derek Webb! His music is streaming everywhere and he's all over social media. Go follow him and tell him you heard him on the podcast. Also go to Derekwebb.com and/or Patreon.com/Derekwebb to see and hear firsthand the things we touched on in this episode. Announcing Town Meeting dates real soon.

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.com for all the other great music themed shows on the network.

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? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Mike gets a little annoyed at Luke calling Neil "Giddy Lee". Luke learns something new about David Hasselhoff and Jackie Chan. Longmayyouyoungpodcast.com for all kinds of merch and other good stuff.
