On June 5 Neil Young & Crazy Horse will release Americana, their first album in 9 years. The album is collection of classic, American folk songs, such as “She’ll Be Comin ‘Round The Mountain”, “This Land Is Your Land”, and “Oh Susannah”.
The album concept is posted below, via a press release:
What ties these songs together is the fact that while they may represent an America that may no longer exist, 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.
