Canadian legend Neil Young has announced a slew of Canadian tour dates in support of his new album, Americana, in which he reunites with his classic backing band, Crazy Horse. While the reshaped, electric-guitar driven folk tunes are a nice throwback to the Neil Young & Crazy Horse we all know and love, here's to hoping his live performances will feature less of This Land is Our Land and more of Cowgirl in the Sand.
Among the new tour dates, announced by promoter Live Nation and yet to be confirmed on Neil's Website or TicketMaster, are dates in Vancouver, Calgary (Tuesday, Nov. 13), Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto (Monday, Nov. 19), Ottawa (Saturday, Nov. 24) and Montreal. Ill post those dates as soon as they are confirmed.
Just in case the idea of seeing Neil reprise his role as guitar god doesnt excite you enough, rumour has it he will be supported by the timeless and legendary songstress Patti Smith, who is releasing her first album of new material in eight years. Sounds like a recipe for a collaborative stage performance to me.
