Neil Young changes artwork to his new album
Talkin’ To The Trees gets a new front cover

Neil Young has changed the artwork to his forthcoming album, Talkin’ To The Trees, a month before its release.
The record was recorded by Neil and ‘The Chrome Hearts’, a band who consist of the following musicians: Spooner Oldham (Organ); Micah Nelson (Guitar and Vocal); Corey McCormick (Bass and Vocal); and Anthony LoGerfo (Drums).
‘Big Change’ was made available back in January and ‘Let’s Roll Again’ was issued a few days ago when the album was announced. Both see Neil in rocking, protest song mode, with the latter urging the American car industry to “protect our children” by stepping up manufacturing of electric vehicles.
Despite this direct approach, the album artwork has been changed and simplified (I would say ‘improved’) by ditching a montage image of a guitar floating high above what looks like an oil drilling rig to one that sets a close-up image of Neil holding a guitar on a white background, with the band name and album title above, in Young’s familiar handwriting.

The album will be released on CD and vinyl on 13 June 2025, via Reprise Records. A clear vinyl edition is available from RSD-qualifying indie record shops (some retailers have not yet updated their listings to show the new artwork). Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts Love Earth tour will visit Europe and North America this year with the single UK date as part of BST Hyde Park on 11 July.
