Neil Young

Neil Young is recording a whole new record with the sons of Willie Nelson.

The musician revealed he's in the middle of work on his 36th album and is hoping to bring a new style to his sound by working with the youngest children of the star, Lukas and Jacob Nelson.

"I'm working on another album now that I'm going to be doing with Willie Nelson's sons." he wrote on his website.

He went on to explain the record, tentatively named 'The Monsanto Years', saying it'll be an "upbeat review of the situation" between both him and the agriculture company Monsanto, which he's criticsed publicly in the past.

Most recently his hatred for the firm hit the headlines when he announced he'd be boycotting Starbucks chains after they began working with the company, attempting to prevent Vermont laws which would force manufacturers and retailers to label genetically modified products.

"I used to line up and get my latte everyday, but yesterday was my last one. Starbucks has teamed up with Monsanto to sue Vermont, and stop accurate food labeling."

Planning to release the record later in the year, he's admitted he doesn't know what comes next, but knows music is going to be involved because of recently-launched music player Pono.

Speaking to RollingStone.com he explained: "I don't know much about the future.

"I want to [focus on Pono] and I want to continue playing music. Those two things should keep me pretty busy. I have some film editing and things to do on the side. I'll probably be writing some more books. I want to keep doing what I do. I'd like to continue doing it for a long time."
