‘Americana’

Neil Young and Crazy Horse will release their new LP Americana on June 5th. It’s their first album together since Greendale in 2003, and their first album with the full Crazy Horse line-up of Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina and Frank “Poncho” Sampedro since Broken Arrow in 1996. The songs on Americana are all classic American folk songs, including “This Land Is Your Land,” “Gallows Pole,” “Tom Dooley” and “Clementine.”

At the Slamdance Film Festival earlier this year, Young talked about the album. “A very young choir of children plays with Crazy Horse [on the album,]” he said. “They’re songs we all know from kindergarden, but Crazy Horse has rearranged them, and they now belong to us.”

“What ties these songs together is the fact that while they may represent an America that may no longer exist,” says a press release announcing the new album.”The emotions and scenarios behind these songs still resonate with what’s going on in the country today with equal, if not greater impact nearly 200 years later. The lyrics reflect the same concerns and are still remarkably meaningful to a society going through economic and cultural upheaval, especially during an election year. They are just as poignant and powerful today as the day they were written.”

The disc was recorded at Audio Casa Blanca and was produced by Neil Young and John Hanlon with Mark Humphreys.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse made their first live appearance since 2004 last month at the MusicCares tribute to Paul McCartney in Los Angeles. They played “I Saw Her Standing There” that many critics called a highlight of the star-studded show, though the band has released no touring plans. “I honestly have not heard a solitary thing about touring,” Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina wrote on his Facebook page last month.

Here is the complete track-listing for Americana:
“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”

Fuzzy lyrics engine

Human-highway says: the fuzzy lyrics search works again!

this is of course resonating here:

Bad News (Unreleased)

Bad news is come to town
He's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round.
Bound by his own ideas,
Lost, doesn't know where she is found.

Neil Young Journeys being released June 29th in Theatres

Neil Young Film Headed To Theaters
antimusic.com

(Gibson) The latest collaboration between rock legend Neil Young and famed director Jonathan Demme has a release date. Neil Young Journeys will hit theaters starting June 29, via Sony Pictures Classics, according to Ultimate Classic Rock.

Following on the heels of Neil Young:

Heart of Gold (2006) and Neil Young Trunk Show (2009), Journeys was filmed toward the end of Young’s 2011 solo tour. In the movie, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer travels from his hometown of Omemee, Ontario, Canada to Toronto, where he’s booked to play two shows at Massey Hall. During the trek, Young “reminisces about childhood friends and talks about how the surroundings have changed over the decades while rolling toward Toronto in a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

Although fans can check out Heart of Gold on DVD, Trunk Show has yet to be released for home audiences – a situation that Demme said he’s hoping to remedy.
