Neil Young & Crazy Horse announce North American tour


Neil Young and Crazy Horse return with their new release, “Americana,” on Tuesday.

It's the group’s first album together since 2003’s “Greendale,” and their first with the full Crazy Horse line-up of Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina and Frank "Poncho" Sampedro since “Broken Arrow” in 1996.

The songs on “Americana” are all classic American folk songs, including "This Land Is Your Land," "Gallows Pole," "Tom Dooley" and "Clementine."

Neil and the band have announced a North American tour, with shows kicking off October 3 in Windsor, Ontario.

Opening the first bunch of shows will be Los Lobos, before Patti Smith takes over in late November.

Tickets will be available starting Friday, June 8, with $1.00 from every purchase going to benefit Young’s Bridge School, which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs.
