LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Neil Young's newly recorded protest album "Living With War," including a song calling for the impeachment of
President Bush, will be posted for free Internet streaming next week, his label said on Friday.

Starting April 28, fans can log onto Young's Web site, www.neilyoung.com, and listen to the 10-track collection in its entirety, free of charge, said Bill Bentley, a spokesman for Warner Music Group's Reprise Records.

The album will first become commercially available as a digital download beginning May 2, "and we plan to get it into retail stores as soon after that as we can get them manufactured," Bentley said.

He said the label anticipates getting the album into retail outlets between May 5 and May 15. "Neil wants this album out there as soon as possible," Bentley added.

5. The bass player and drummer on this album...

...Rick Rojas (bass) and Chad Cromwell (drums) are the guys who backed Neil on "Freedom," which...as we all know...was his major "comeback" album after the dreaded "Geffen Years," and featured his open letter to Poppy Bush, "Rockin' In The Free World."

This has "potential classic" written all over it.
