Neil Young & Crazy Horse to release new album, ‘Psychedelic Pill’
After issuing their first album in nine years earlier this summer, the well-reviewed “Americana,†Neil Young and Crazy Horse appear to be on a creative rampage. The band announced Tuesday it will release another new record, the double-CD “Psychedelic Pill,†on Oct. 30.
“Americana,†as its name implied, served up a rustic slab of reinterpreted, old-timey classics such as Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land,†Stephen Foster’s “Oh Susannah,†“Tom Dooley†and “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain†(under the title “Jesus Chariotâ€). The only thing seemingly missing was “The Star-Spangled Banner,†although the record did include a cover of the British national anthem, “God Save the Queen.â€
The track list for “Psychedelic Pill†sounds a tad more contemporary, with titles like the 16-minute, 49-second-long “Ramada Inn,†and “Born In Ontario,†presumably a reference to Young’s native Canadian province.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse also have a scheduled Oct. 17 concert date at the Hollywood Bowl.
