Neil Young thinking about Crazy Horse

It seems certain that Neil Young will tour this summer with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. But in terms of recording he's already thinking about his follow-up to last year's Grammy-nominated Prairie Wind. Young said he's leaning in more of an electric direction, probably with his band Crazy Horse: "I'm so into Prairie Wind and Heart Of Gold, and I've been there for a year and we've been doing all this. And now sometimes I wake up and I just hear this massive, you know, distorted, crunching, hideous noise, and it makes me feel like I'm going home to a place that is ready for me when I get there."

Heart Of Gold is a concert documentary filmed by Jonathan Demme last August in Nashville. It's in the midst of a theatrical run and will be released on DVD in June.

Young's last album with Crazy Horse was 2003's Greendale, though the recording did not include guitarist-keyboardist Frank "Pancho" Sampedro. The last full-scale Crazy Horse album was 1997's Year Of The Horse.
