After a few listens of Neil Young’s upcoming Daniel Lanois produced album Le Noise, the song “Hitchhiker” began to stand out and really grab my attention as a stand out track.  Like all the other tracks on the album, the track features Neil, unaccompanied with nothing but a guitar and some Lanois studio trickery.  Gritty guitar licks take center stage here as he spins an unabashed tale of fame and excess.

The new video is a perfect compliment for this gritty new tune, again featuring nothing but Neil and his Les Paul, rocking away.   If you like this track, you are in luck.  The new album drops 9/28, with 7 more songs of nothing but an unaccompanied Neil Young.
