Neil Young Readies New Concept Album Americana

Neil Young has teamed with his longtime band Crazy Horse for Americana, a new album of (mostly) American folk songs, dubbed Americana. The album, due out June 5 via Reprise Records, features songs like Tom Dooley, Oh Susannah, and “This Land Is Your Land,” as well as the British national anthem “God Save The Queen,” because hey, it’s Neil Young, and he does whatever he wants. Call it a nod to his punk rock roots (dating back to 1889, when the song was still sung on our shores.)
