Neil Young’s new album, Living With War, now available for streaming. The New York Times calls it “irate, passionate, tuneful, thoughtful and obstinate” and says it will be available on iTunes next week and in stores soon after. Go Listen.

Venerable rocker and long time DoubleSpeak fan (only one of those would be his crossword clue) Neil Young has got a new album coming hot on the heels of his recently released, Prairie Wind. Like he has for so much of his career, Neil is intent on speaking truth to power.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Veteran rocker Neil Young has recorded a protest album featuring an anti-Iraq war track with “a holy vow to never kill again” and a song titled “Let’s Impeach the President,” the singer said on Monday.

The 10-track set, called “Living with War,” was recorded this month by a “power trio” — electric guitar, bass and drums — plus trumpet and a 100 voices, the 60-year-old Canadian-born musician announced on his Web site.

In a message crawl along the bottom of his Web site, Young drew parallels to two of the leading protest singers of the 1960s, saying of his new record: “I think it is a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan … metal folk protest?”

While you’re more likely to catch our hosts at a Richard Marx or Mandy Patinkin concert than a Crazy Horse show, DoubleSpeak wishes Mr. Young success with this new album. We can’t wait to get it onto our iPods.
