Neil Young

Last week, it was reported that Neil Young is recording new music with Crazy Horse. As a follow-up, Rolling Stone has posted a video of Neil discussing the project.

In the video, Young says he has already recorded one album with Crazy Horse entitled Americana, which he describes as having “a choir in it that sings with Crazy Horse. A very young choir of children. They’re songs we all know from kindergarten, but Crazy Horse has rearranged them, and they now belong to us.” The group is already working on the second record.

Neil Young fan site Thrashers Wheat points to a 38-minute video posted on NeilYoung.com, which contains close-ups of recording gear while the band jams on “Fuckin Up” and “Cortez The Killer”. Head over to Neil’s website to check out the video.
