Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Americana

[goldrush]

An update from Neil's Facebook page:

The release date for 'Americana' - the new Neil Young & Crazy Horse album - has just been announced for June 5th! Head over to http://wbr.fm/GzvEdM for the full tracklisting, and stay tuned to hear the first song from the album!

An album of old American folk tunes may not be what we were expecting after the 38-minute jam that was on his website but it should be interesting

Just saw that on Rolling Stone. Can't wait.

oooohh goodie! can't wait to hear it

neil holds a special place in my heart from way back
70s he was my special heart-throb
i just loved the first crazy horse album...played that thing half to death...no...all the way to death

Always wanted to hear Neil and the Horse take on Woody Guthrie!

OMG how did I miss this? I'm sure I have Neil on facebook. Must go check.... Meanwhile COOL!!

[mikalina]

wonderful news....

thanks for sharing.

I honestly checked the date to make sure the article wasn't an April Fools joke when I saw the tracklist. If anyone can pull it off with a straight face, it'd be these guys.

they should release that 38 minute jam on Record Store Day.

I got an e-mail about it overnight.

So the tracklist is:

"Oh Susannah"
"Clementine
"
"Tom Dooley"
"
Gallows Pole
"
"Get A Job
"
"Travel On
"
"High Flyin’ Bird
"
"She’ll Be Comin ’Round The Mountain"
"This Land Is Your Land
"
"Wayfarin’ Stranger
"
"God Save The Queen"

God Save the Queen? Please tell me they threw in a Sex Pistols cover. That would be a fantastic, off the wall choice for Neil. Not familiar w/ a traditional americana song by that name.

Crap - Apparently it's the British National Anthem that he included. Not the Sex Pistols. Sounds like My Country Tis of Thee (for us folks on the US side of the pond). Wonder if he'll use the british lyrics or the US.
