Bob Young has never seen much reason to take up songwriting like his little brother Neil.
He recorded it with a band he’s dubbed “The Peterboroughs” that includes Neil Young on harmonica and vocals, Mike Belitsky on drums, Travis Good on banjo, Ryan Weber on bass, and Melissa Pyne on fiddle and harmony vocals.
In another session, some vocal harmony was added, and Neil played harmonica.
The video was directed by Neil Young, actress Daryl Hannah, and CK Vollick.
“The filming of ‘Hey America’ was done in the Covid-19 environment,” Neil Young said in a statement.
In other Neil Young news, he shared a previously unreleased version of “Wonderin'” from the 1970 After the Gold Rush sessions.
According to a tweet from the Neil Young Archives, preorders for that set will begin on October 30th
