The first album to be released by Neil Young and Crazy Horse in nine years "Americana" will be out on the streets on June 5th. It is available for pre-order today.
Americana is a collection of classic, American folk songs. In their day, some of these may have been referred to as "protest songs," "murder ballads," or campfire-type songs passed down with universal, relatable tales for Everyman.
The album will be available in FLAC, CD, and 180-gram vinyl formats, and comes with an exclusive Americana T-shirt. Fans who pre-order the album will also receive a digital download of the song "Oh Susannah." Pre-order now at www.neilyoung.com.
In other news Young has teamed up with artist-geared social media platform Talenthouse to celebrate the release of Americana. In conjunction with its theme, musicians are being invited to submit their covers of classic Americana tracks via YouTube for the chance to win $1,000 and receive promotion across Young's social media channels.
