Neil Young Reveals Fork in the Road Details

Neil Young Reveals <i>Fork in the Road</i> Details

Neil Young cares about the environment, dammit. He cares so much, in fact, that he's recorded an entire concept album about electric cars, which is pretty ridiculous. And now that absurd album has a release date and a tracklist. Reprise will release Fork in the Road, Young's billionth album, on April 7, Billboard reports.

But the oil industry isn't the only target of Young's grumpy-old-man ire. In a post on his website, Young recently lashed out at YouTube for not coming up with a fair way to pay all the artists whose music runs on the site. Last year, YouTube pulled all videos from every artist associated with Warner Music Group, Young's label, and Young is taking WMG's side. "YouTube has a responsibility to respect the artists it facilitates and resist punishing them to make a business point," he writes. (Via Cnet)
