Neil Young

In September 2015, Neil Young performed 'Western Hero' with Promise of the Real at Farm Aid 30, which showcased his unwavering commitment to farming and sustainability. This heartfelt performance came on the heels of his 2014 album, 'Storytone,' an experimental effort featuring orchestral arrangements. However, it was the 2015 release 'The Monsanto Years' that connected deeply with the themes of the live recording, tackling issues around agribusiness and corporate farming. Young's passion for social justice and environmental issues often takes center stage in his work, making this live performance particularly poignant. It's interesting to note that this concert also reflected the strong bond Young has with other artists involved in Farm Aid, as they collectively fight for farmers' rights and promote sustainable agriculture.
