NEIL YOUNG'S NEXT ALBUM

In the new issue of British magazine Uncut, Bert Jansch talks about the new Neil Young songs that Neil has been playing on his current solo (but not "acoustic") tour. Jansch, who Neil has said is his favorite acoustic guitarist, is the opening act on Neil's tour. His quote: "The songs that I'm hearing are literally unbelievable." Good to know!

NEIL YOUNG TO TOUR WITH BERT JANSCH?

The great Neil Young fansite Thrasher's Wheat has posted that Neil is going on tour.  He has booked five southern dates so far, and Bert Jansch is opening. I remember years ago in an interview with a guitar mag, Neil said that Jimi Hendrix is his favorite electric guitarist, but Bert Jansch is his favorite acoustic guitarist. He talked about a song called "Needle Of Death," so I went out an picked up an album that had it.  Bert Jansch is probably what you would call an "acquired taste," but what a guitarist. Anyway, I always look forward to seeing Neil again.  It seems like this may be a solo acoustic tour, and those tours never disappoint.
