Neil Young Pairs With Promise of the Real on New Album

Neil Young’s latest album, The Monsanto Years, sees him teaming up with the rock band Promise of the Real, which is led by legendary musician and songwriter Willie Nelson’s sons Lukas and Micah.

Making the ecologically and environmentally oriented record was a thrill for Promise of the Real members, who even named their band after a line from a Young song.

“If you told my 15 year old self that someday I’d be in the studio with Neil, I wouldn’t believe you,” bassist Corey McCormick (also known for his work with Chris Cornell) said.
