"Big Crime" (Official Video): Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts

Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts performed a new song "Big Crime" on Wednesday night in Chicago. 

Here is the Official Video from the Chicago concert sound check. 

The audio can be downloaded at NeilYoungArchives.com.

In the song "Big Crime",  Neil Young denounces "fascist rules and schools," "soldiers on our streets," and the influence of "billionaire fascists." The key verse, "Never Great Again," is a clear reversal of President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. The "BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM" section refers to a movement. that "seeks to bring about a peaceful economic shutdown by depriving people of jobs, consumption, and financial support in order to reclaim power from corrupt systems".

"Big Crime"  lyrics by Neil Youngimage via NeilYoungArchives.com.

Unsurprisingly, the new song has provoked  a predictable and typical left/right reaction. 

Fans here on Thrasher's Wheat generally praise Neil in comments  on Chicago concert for "calling out fascist Trump."  Likewise, YouTube comments are broadly supportive:

"Thank you Neil Young, you're a breath of fresh air as always. Telling it as it is "

And,  a polar opposite reaction with White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson on Fox News calling the song "cringe." Instead of tarnishing his legacy with such songs, Jackson argued, Young should instead speak to residents of Washington, DC, who, thanks to President Trump, have not been victims of violent crime.

The right-wing media outlet "Breitbart News" also issued harsh criticism. Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart said: 

"[the lyrics are] the least creative, most direct lyrics anyone has ever seen." 

Marlow mocked the lack of originality and diversity in Young's work, sarcastically noting that all his songs sound like "Old Man ." 

This long running saga of the Trump-Young feud never seems to get old. Like some sort of script stuck in a loop, over and over again. Love vs Hate.  Hate vs Love. After all, what's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Alas -- much to the chagrin of oblivious detractors - the Big Shift rolls on whether one likes it or not.

Comments of the Moment: Talkin' To The Trees Album by Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts

Neil YoungImage via Film "Coastal", Directed by Daryl Hannah (Click photo to enlarge)

Nearing the age of 80, Neil Young has somehow managed to release an album that some regard as "the most deeply personal songs" of his career.

Auspiciously enough, on Friday the 13th, June 2025, Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts released the album "Talkin' To The Trees".  Some have regarded the songs as so personally intense, that even Neil has over stepped a line. Others -- of course -- disagree that this is exactly the essence of Neil Young, going where other artists would never dare to go.

The apparent reaction dichotomy surrounds the album's first two songs: "Family Life" and "Dark Mirage" and their dark, raw honesty.

Our 1st Comment of the Moment on Talkin' To The Trees Album by Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts is by the highly respected and oft quoted Scotsman:

There is nothing wrong with writing personal records. 

Toast, Tonight's the Night, and Homegrown are all deeply personal, whilst also demonstrating great warmth and good-natured character. The artist here might be leader, a rebel, a passionate lover, or a freedom fighter, but it's quite clear he's not a vandal, arsonist, abuser, or terrorist.

Other great records see artists "playing the villain" with relish and glee, in a fictional (or allegorical) world they've constructed.

The opening songs of Talkin to the Trees seem to be neither of these. They are both personal and toxic. Malignant.

Likewise, there is a clear difference between "dark" and "harmful". Sleeps with Angels is a dark masterpiece, but packed with empathy and hope. The same is true of Greendale: full of grief, full of care.

The superb Green is Blue from Colorado is extremely dark and rooted in reality, but it is not the musical equivalent of a forest fire. It's more an invitation to pick up the fire extinguisher.

Once the songs seemingly become badly-sharpened instruments of destruction, then I think the artist has made an error of judgement.

It's also entirely out of character for Neil Young. The record strikes me as a tragedy, with the cyanide of the first two tracks seeping into our appreciation of the bittersweetness that follows. The latter songs are contextualised by what we've heard so far.

If these songs are as autobiographical as they appear, it seems he's decided hope is lost and has hit the nuclear button out of frustration and fear. He's sawn away at the last threads of a relationship.

This is something I will neither celebrate nor enjoy. A younger Neil Young, or perhaps an older one, would agree with me.

The momentary Neil we are hearing from right now, meanwhile, seems to be in crisis. Dark Mirage (which, of course, is a song with a perspective, and not the gospel truth) hints at depression, or multiple depressions, within the world it depicts. If so, the song itself is essentially destructive.

I can say with as much certainty as anybody: there are ways to overcome depression. But I don't think these songs are amongst those ways. They are more like fuel for the fire.

When an artist is in despair or in crisis, he must step away from the sharp tools of his trade until he's regained enough composure to use them with his previous care.

[ADDENDUM]

I think we have to be careful not to fall too comfortably into the viewpoint that the song presents us. (Not necessarily in Neil's case, but the parallel would be that auto-biographies can sometimes be self-flattering or one-sided).

With respect to Dan Swan [see below]  and others, I'll admit I'm unconvinced about the whole "honest, authentic, real, brave" thing. A surgeon who wakes up in a bad mood and starts slashing away with the scalpel might be all of these things. He's also a bad surgeon. And he needs to put down the blade.

I don't think Neil will ever regret sharing the original Amber Jean song with the world. I'm not sure the same will be true of these new ones. To use his songwriting skill to dispatch his family as pawns in a chess game leads me to conclude he's made an error of judgement. Assuming my reading of this is correct, then presumably people close to him have made the same observation.

The flipside is that choosing to publish the arguably cruel songs here (at absolute best, a case of fighting fire with fire) is a wholly out-of-character aberration, both within the album and his decades-long career.

Of course, that doesn't make the traces of cyanide any easier to swallow.

Scotsman.

Many thanks Scotsman for sharing your thoughts on this vital subject in these times. Your contributions to the community are valued and appreciated.

As noted above, there is a flip side.  Here's a comment by Dan in response: 

I find it encouraging that those with such strong negative reactions to this album are sharing their thoughts. 

As I have always said; “the more powerful the reaction, the better the art”. I completely understand the negative reactions, but I simply don’t see it that way.

Yes; the lyrics are harsh and brutal in several songs, but they represent his honest voice speaking from a place none of us can truly know. His life is not ours to live. Yet we have all felt pain, and loss in our lives. As a songwriter he is simply communicating his heartfelt feelings of pain honestly. Perhaps it’s not important to him how it makes others feel, he’s just putting it out there. Maybe he finds it cathartic to lay it all out for everyone to hear. I don’t know; but I respect his willingness to do so.

I celebrate his honesty. I may not be able to fully understand it, because it’s not mine to understand. I just appreciate the fact that he’s willing to share it with the world. This is artistic bravery at its finest.

I found Prairie Wind to be uncomfortably personal too, but I loved that record. Pushing people’s comfort limits is a big part of the creative process, and from the reactions shared here, I think Neil has been successful with this aspect of it.

 [ADDENDUM]

We humans are all flawed imperfect beings, and none of us are immune to mistakes or misjudgments. I’m convinced that we all have our own forms of darkness that occasionally overshadow our better selves.

Neil has always been willing to be transparent about his flaws. And everyone is entitled to their own views on this matter. I’m not defending his approach to his pain, but I am defending his right to choose how he deals with it.

I’m not going to judge him because that’s not my job. He’s an artist making artistic choices about how he wants to express himself, and I certainly don’t fault him for doing that.

The collateral damage he may be causing himself is completely on him. I believe we can all agree that he is revealing his pain to the world, knowing that not everyone is going to appreciate it. I’m also convinced that he isn’t concerned with how people might feel about it.

Art can be messy sometimes. As can life itself.

Peace 🙏

Criticisms & Reviews (as of June 13, 2025, via Rusted Moon) 

Paul Whitelaw, Louder : " This isn't an unexpected masterpiece from Neil Young's later career, but that's okay. He's made many masterpieces before, so it's unrealistic to expect another one. What it is, however, is the strangely comforting sound of an eccentric genius speaking words of hope as the world burns around us. " 3.5 out of 5

Helen Brown, Independent : " As a longtime Young fan, I felt as torn as his worn stage jeans. On the one hand, I was bored by tracks like "First Fire of Winter," which borrows heavily from the recycled three-chord riff of his 1970 classic "Helpless," and also "Silver Eagle," which meows to the sing-along melody of Woody Guthrie's 1940 anthem "This Land Is Your Land." On the other hand, I found it undeniably heartwarming to hear Ole Shakey muddle through the same old chord progressions he's been using since the 1970s, while singing about being stuck in line at his local farmers' market (...) This isn't Young's best work. It is, however, a record that should bring a smile to the faces of the faithful

Max Gösche, Rolling Stone : " Young picks up the last fragments of his work here. The massive "Big Change" sounds like a relic from the "Ragged Glory" days, "Bottle of Love" recalls the ballads of "Sleeps With Angels." And "First Fire of Winter" easily passes as a "Helpless" rip-off. The band around guitarist Micah Nelson rumbles along bravely in Crazy Horse style. Spooner Oldham once again plays the organ blissfully. And at some point, perhaps in the title track, a sense of melancholy takes hold. "Thankful" closes the record with a gesture of humility that must touch even the greatest cynic. Neil Young has long since finished singing the song that life wrote for him. Now he continually gives thanks to the beauty of nature, peace, and love

Guy Oddy, The Arts Desk : " When Neil Young releases a new album, you can be pretty sure you're getting either melancholic singer-songwriter classics or hard-hitting rock 'n' roll. His debut album with the Chrome Hearts, however, offers both – and shows Young at his best throughout. (...) So Neil Young is obviously still going strong, playing with a new backing band and working towards a better society. Let's be honest: which of the other original hippie-rockers can say the same? " 4 out of 5

Janne Oinonen, The Line Of Best Fit:  "Talkin' To The Trees isn't a grand return to form: there's too much letting go of the unfinished here for that. However, in its commitment to simplicity and a search inward for inspiration, it resembles 2000's underrated Silver & Gold, which, along with Toast (recorded in 2001 but not released until 2022), contained the final evidence of Young's creative comeback in the 1990s: not a bad result for a Neil Young album of the 2025 model year." 7 out of 10

Jon Young, No Depression : " This fascinating album, which (with a few exceptions) emphasizes the man's folk side, immediately reveals Neil at his best, combining his sweet, high voice with delicate melodies. Historical echoes can be heard throughout. "

Sam Richards, Riff Magazine : " The music on "Talkin To The Trees" sounds like Neil Young and covers most of his music. While there's nothing here as loud and gleefully chaotic as "Cinnamon Girl" or "Like a Hurricane," as strong as "After the Gold Rush," or as simply beautiful as "Harvest Moon," this collection of ten new songs still covers a wide stylistic spectrum. " 7 out of 10

Douglas Collette, Glide Magazine : " On the surface, at least, "Talkin' To The Trees" exudes a self-deprecating honesty. It's thought-provoking and allows for at least one theory that Neil Young's source of inspiration is the presence of the Chrome Hearts: there's undoubtedly a good reason why he took the ensemble's name from a line in "Long May You Run."

Thomas Treo, Extra Bladet , " Neil Young's music has always had an innocent, almost childlike tone, for better or for worse. At 79, however, he has rarely been more immature. The songwriter's songwriting is so sloppy that it barely holds together, and if "Talkin' to the Trees" were a vinyl shelf, it would collapse. (...)  Rarely has a person transformed so uninhibitedly from eternal to indifferent."  3 of 6

Michael Gallucci, Ultimate Classic Rock , " Talkin' to the Trees may remind fans of some of Young's directionless work from the '80s, but as with many of Young's untested projects, there's more to it than the many detours it takes in its 39 minutes. "

Douglas Heselgrave, Restless and Real : " Perhaps most impressive is that Young has never settled into being an oldies act. There's always new music. "Talking to the Trees" contains ten fresh songs that cover all his styles. There's no point asking whether "Moving Ahead" or "First Fires of Winter" are as good as "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" or "Like a Hurricane." As I said, Neil Young's music traces a continuum, and his persistent drive to find new ways of creating and expressing himself should leave us breathless and bewildered. "

Michael Bonner, UNCUT : "How are we supposed to understand Talkin' To The Trees at this point in Young's career? Is it a means for him to communicate with those closest to him—and perhaps find a deeper understanding of his personal situation along the way? Is this Young, who turns 80 later this year, giving us his last hurrah? Or is this simply Young doing what he wants right now, with something else just around the corner?"  3.5  out of 5

Ewan Gleadow, Cult Following: "Where "Big Change" was a deafening hit in the face of political unrest worldwide, "Talkin' to the Trees" depicts a carefree life and shows how those quiet days spent alongside beloved pets and in untouched nature can be just as dangerous. Isolation is desired in times of crisis, but Young challenges those who shy away from the real world to look more closely and passionately. "Talkin' to the Trees" is his best song in years." 4 out of 5

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, MOJO : "Despite the noise of Chrome Hearts, Talkin' To The Trees is rooted in down-home folk. Its key song is "Family Life," a piece in which he celebrates his offspring by name before extolling the virtues of his "best wife ever." Its schmaltzy enthusiasm is tempered by "First Fire Of Winter" and "Bottle Of Love," two songs that recall the fireside intimacy of "Will To Love." 4 stars

Neil Young has posted a statement on Neil Young Archives titled "WAKE UP AMERICA" in which he invites President Trump to attend his concerts.  (Thanks Road Dawg!)

"When I tour the US this summer, and martial law isn't declared by then, which would make it impossible, we should all come together and stand up for American values. We won't be putting on a political show. We'll be playing the music we love and can all enjoy together. President Trump, you're invited. Come and hear our music, just as you have for decades. "

For reference, here are the dates for this summer's Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts love earth tour.

Recently, Neil Young challenged US President Trump over statements regarding Bruce Springsteen.

Comment of the Moment: "Talkin' To The Trees" by Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts

Talkin' To The Trees by Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts

Last week, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts released the title track for the upcoming album "Talkin To The Trees". 

Here is the Comment of the Moment on the song "Talkin To The Trees" by Tomatron:

From the new album I’d like to hear Big Change live. That song rips. 

While TTTT ["Talkin To The Trees"] title track doesn’t make for a great single, I expect it eases in nicely as an album track, a peaceful respite from the heavy energy of the songs that precede it. He seems to be doing something different with that song. It has no narrative or chorus; the melody is minimal. It exists only to express a present moment. 

Neil’s lyrical method of late, to capture the idea as it comes without further refinement, is used to full effect to provide a glimpse of his thoughts, one minute of a day in the life. 

Aficionados of his classic work crave the figurative language that elevates much of his 70s songcraft; it’s still there, but it lives between the lines now. Some have called TTTT bland. I think plain is a better descriptor. The song reminds me of the plain art tradition of American folk art, capturing the honest essence of a restful moment. 

A picture of peace.

Thanks  Tomatron. "A picture of peace." Yes, we can all use a bit of that these days.  Good insights. And -- as speculated elsewhere -- we'll likely hear album cuts on this summer's tour.

The album "Talkin' to the Trees," recorded with Chrome Hearts, will be released on CD, vinyl, and digital on June 13.

Earlier this month, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts have released a new Official Music Video for the song "Lets Roll Again".

REACTION: Neil Young's New Song & Video "Lets Roll Again"

"Tesla is just good; they've created something good."Neil Young -  June 24, 2016(Click photo to enlarge)

The polarizing reaction to Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts new song and video "Lets Roll Again" has ranged from robust cheers and applause to condemnation and accusations.

 "Lets Roll Again"  Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts (Video Frame via Official Video) (Click photo to enlarge)

Not since 2006's album Living With War has a Neil Young album had so much controversy before its actual release.

The primary controversy around "Lets Roll Again" -- set to the tune of  Woody Guthrie’s iconic “This Land Is Your Land” --   swirls around the lyrics:

‘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 Tesla's Elon Musk’s mistaken "Nazi-style salute", which, btw, was really just him touching his heart and waving to crowd in a gesture of love.

"Heil Tesla"

(Video Frame via Official Video)

Neil Young's Tesla/Musk outrage has not always been the case.   Neil Young famously converted a  Ford Lincoln Continental into "LincVolt", an electric car.  The project began in approximately 2008.

Linc-Volt Press Conference with Neil Young

 SEPTEMBER 25, 2010

Back in 2016, Neil Young was critical of German car manufacturers in an interview with Associated Press.  (thanks Rusted Moon!)

Neil Young: "There's nothing revolutionary about building an electric car with all the air pollution on our planet. 

But car manufacturers keep building the same cars over and over again—and they even advertise how advanced they are. The same old story over and over again. It's disappointing to see so little innovation. And then Tesla comes along and leaves everyone behind. Especially the German car manufacturers. They acted like it was a joke, like Tesla was a joke. But suddenly Tesla has overtaken them on the road.

And they're not even advertising. Tesla is just good; they've created something good.

I didn't make it ["LincVolt"] to sell it to anyone. I just wanted to say, 'Look, this thing exists, it's great.' I've put 55,000 miles on it now. 

I drive it all the time; I love it."

So. Times change, feelings change.

UPDATE: Significant blowback on post surrounding Musk salute and accusations in Comments below that editor is a "Fascist apologist". To critics, know that you live and die by the sword.

Witness, 4 prominent politicians over recent years doing the exact same motion of touching heart and waving to supporters.

Nazi Salutes?

Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris

Most recently, Corey Booker doing exact same gesture and being excused as "simply a wave". 

Corey Booker - Waving?

Elon Musk - Saluting?

Beware that false accusations have consequences.

Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts have released a new Official Music Video for the song "Lets Roll Again" (thanks JVJ!, see comment below).

 

From Neil Young Archives:

"Talkin to The Trees is announced today with our new single, ‘Lets Roll Again’ out there with its video. I hope you like it. I heard Elon was upset about it and called me ‘Neil Old’. Hey, I am the same age as the felon running this country.

In these times, many of us, including me, are stressed by what is happening in America. I sure hope you and your families have found ways of coping. We go out to the demonstrations every weekend and it feels good to stand with fellow Americans and Canadians, who feel the lack of empathy and consideration our felon president is presenting to our people.”

We must stand together. I don’t know where we are going but we are growing every day. I am with you, even if you voted for the president, I am with you. Too many things have been done that are hurting us all. Young families should be thinking about the day before them, and their children, not the days behind and fearing what is happening next to American lives. These are our people. All Americans. All Canadians. This sad moment in our history is Un-American.”
