Listen to Fiona Apple's moving cover of Neil Young's Heart of Gold
Neil Young's song Heart of Gold was first released in 1972 and became a classic: the track is his only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been covered by artists including Johnny Cash, and now, Fiona Apple. Apple's version of the song appears on the newly released tribute album, Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young Volume I. It is very faithful to the original, with Apple singing over piano and soaring strings. LISTEN | Fiona Apple covers Heart of Gold by Neil Young: Other artists on the album include the Lumineers, Brandi Carlile, Eddie Vedder and Mumford & Sons. All proceeds from the project will go to the Bridge School, a non-profit co-founded by Young's late ex-wife, Pegi Young, which supports children with severe speech and physical impairments. Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young Volume I is the most recent Young tribute album, however a number of others have been released over the years, including 1989's The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young, 1994's Borrowed Tunes: A Tribute to Neil Young, and 2007's Borrowed Tunes II: A Tribute to Neil Young. Recently, Young has been performing as he prepares to kick off a tour with the Chrome Hearts in June. Earlier in April, he performed Rockin' in the Free World at Bernie Sanders's Fighting Oligarchy rally in Los Angeles alongside Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers. He was also the subject of Neil Young : Coastal, a documentary about his 2023 solo tour. The film was released on April 17 and was directed by his wife, Daryl Hannah.

Neil Young Announces 2025 ‘Love Earth' World Tour
Neil Young and his new band, the Chrome Hearts, are hitting the road this summer for an extensive world tour in support of their upcoming LP Talkin' to the Trees. The tour kicks off June 18 in Rättvik, Sweden, and wraps up September 15 in Los Angeles, California. A 48-hour pre-sale for members of the Neil Young Archives begins February 25th. The general on-sale starts February 28. 'Music unites!' Young wrote on his official website. 'We will be there with you! Join us as we celebrate the Summer of Democracy. Old songs and new songs. Old words and new words. Long jams! We will come together this summer. The Chrome Hearts and I are ready for you! LOVE and Democracy reigns in the USA and the world.'

'A couple of us really hit a wall,' he said. 'I just woke up one morning on the bus, and I said, 'I can't do this, I gotta stop.' I felt sick when I thought of going onstage. My body was telling me, 'You gotta stop.' And so I listened to my body.' Four months after the final show, Young reemerged at Farm Aid with a new backing group, the Chrome Hearts, which includes organist Spooner Oldham, guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormick, and drummer Anthony LoGerfo. Later that week, they played a pair of shows at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York. 'The shows were massively powerful,' wrote Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield, 'a self-consciously ritualistic return to the road after an unexpected detour and an affirmation of how bizarrely vital he remains.' Just a week after the Capitol Theater shows, Young and the Chrome Hearts went into Malibu, California's Shangri-La studios with producer Lou Adler and engineer John Hanlon to record Talkin' to the Trees. 'In my humble opinion, this is shaping up to be a completely unique and soulfully introspective album of songs,' Hanlon wrote in a message to fans on the Neil Young Archives, 'that run the gamut from a palette of beautiful acoustic style pastels to in-your-face loud, irreverent rock 'n roll paint splatter on the canvas in the vein of a Jackson Pollack painting.' Leadoff Talkin' to the Trees single 'Big Change' arrived in January. It's unclear when the rest of the album will be released. In the meantime, here are the initial round of Love Earth tour dates. A press release notes that 'more dates will be added shortly.' (This list, for example, is missing the date of his Glastonbury appearance.)

''Lotta Love' is one of my favorite Neil songs, and the lyrics feel especially relevant at this moment in history,' Barnett said of her cover in a statement. 'It's a real honor to be part of this tribute helping to raise funds for The Bridge School.' Pierce — who has opened for Young on tour — added, 'Time and time again, I'm reminded of the power of Neil Young's songs. I'm reminded every time I spin one of his albums at home, when his songs play on the radio, and this was particularly evident when I recently had the honor of being the opening act for his solo tour.' The Bridge School was co-founded by Neil's late ex-wife Pegi to help 'individuals with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities through the use of augmentative & alternative means of communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT) applications and through the development.' Young's annual Bridge School concerts were held from 1986 to 2016. Heart Of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young is available to preorder on vinyl now, with the second volume 'to be announced soon.'
