While most of his contemporaries don't record at all or come out with new projects only a couple of times a decade, Neil Young remains one of the few veteran performers fans can count on for new music on a regular basis. This year, the eclectic 'Godfather of Grunge' reunited with his long ago backing band Crazy Horse to produce a pair of rough hewn albums. Americana, a collection of early American folk songs, arrived in the Spring.  Psychedelic Pill will get released October 30.  Like the earlier release, there's no effort made to polish the recordings on the follow-up.  Psychedelic Pill captures things just as they went down in the studio, complete with impromptu starts and finishes on songs, all of which come across with a generally raw, unrefined feel fans have come to expect from Young.  Many are long, including a 27 minute + track appropriately titled Drifting Back.  Guitarist Frank Sampedro summed the sessions up by telling Rolling Stone, 'It's us jamming and having lots of fun' - something else a number of Young's contemporaries rarely do these days.
