Ticketmaster Reveals Info About Neil Young’s Fall Tour

Less than a week after Ticketmaster spilled the beans about Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s forthcoming tour, it looks like they prematurely announced a date for Neil Young’s fall tour, too. According to this page, Neil Young and Crazy Horse will play at the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon, on October 22nd. Tickets go on sale Saturday, September 8th. Only one-third of Crazy Horse (drummer Ralph Molina) plays on the forthcoming Chrome Dreams II, but it looks like they’ll be the backing band on the tour. Young hasn’t toured solo since the 2003-04 Greendale tour.

Hype Monitor: Celeste, Jean on Jean, La Roux

The Band: Celeste The Buzz: Grim, grinding French metal band releases latest album for free, giving unlimited darkness and doom to all. Listen If: You consider Dillinger Escape Plan “soft rock.” Key Track: “Que Des Yeux Vides et Seches,” a knot of razor-wire guitars and seared-larynx vocals, the sound of an elevator ride to the underworld. The Band: Jean on Jean The Buzz: The inverse of Celeste: sweet, soft, female-fronted pop that blend shoegaze vocals with starry-eyed strumming. Listen If: You’re excited about the return of lo-fi, but wish some of the melodies were a bit stronger and a lot warmer. Key Track: “Cold Horse,” which sounds like it was rescued from the dusty archives of forgotten dreampoppers Lush. The Band: La Roux The Buzz: Dance dance revolution! Big beats and bright synths make for perky, catchy electropop. Listen If: You’re DJing a dance night in Berlin and you’ve run out of MGMT remixes Key Track: “In for the Kill,” where breathy female vocals float over morse code synths like cotton balls over a bed of nails.

Neil Young’s “Archives Vol. 1″ Set for Release June 2nd

Photo: Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Neil Young’s long-in-the-works and much-anticipated Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972 finally has a release date: June 2nd. The pre-order page for the incredible box set is up on the Neil Young Website now. The set features 128 tracks, 43 unreleased recordings, three live concerts, a 236-page full-color hardcover book and Young’s debut feature film Journey Through The Past, which is being released for the first time since its 1973 theatrical run. The set charts Young’s career from the Squires to Buffalo Springfield to his early solo works and finally his 1972 album Harvest. Archives Vol. 1 was originally scheduled for Summer 2007, then pushed to February 2008, then autumn of last year, January 2009 and now finally June 2nd. The 10-disc box set will be available in both DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as an eight-disc CD package that won’t include Journey Through the Past or the hardcover book. Visit the Neil Young site to get a gander at the massive track list on this behemoth box set. Thankfully, the price of the set has been drastically reduced as well: Amazon.com had the Blu-Ray box set selling at $431, but the Young site is offering the package for a pre-order price of $299.99, with standard DVD costing $199.99 and the CD set $99. For those who can’t afford the full set or already own the previously released Live At Massey Hall 1971 and Crazy Horse at the Fillmore 1970, each disc will also be sold individually in all formats. In addition, by ordering now, you’ll also receive a 7′’ vinyl featuring two songs by Young’s early band the Squires, “Mustang” and “Aurora.” A preview of the set’s “Disc 0 – Early Years 1963-1965″ will also ship pre-June 2nd for those who pre-order. Neil Young fans will have their hands full keeping up with all the recordings the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is unleashing this year. Young will also release his new, electric-car inspired album Fork in the Road on April 7th. Related Stories: • Jonathan Demme Debuts “Neil You

Neil Young Confirms New, Electric Car-Inspired LP “Fork in the Road” Due April 7th

Photo: Gosatti/Getty When Neil Young began playing nine new songs a night towards the end of his 2008 tour it became apparent a new album was in the works. Today it was confirmed that Fork in the Road, a theme record about Young’s Linc Volt electric car project, will come out April 7th. The title track was turned into a hilarious YouTube video earlier this year. The only previously unheard song is “Johnny Magic,” a loving tribute to Jonathan Goodwin, who is Young’s partner in the Linc Volt project. Young has spent significant amounts of time working with Goodwin at his Wichita Kansas garage over the past year. Goodwin, known as the “motorhead messiah,” is one of the worlds preeminent electric car experts, and has little interest in his partner’s other career. “For the first month I thought he was Neil Diamond,” Goodwin told Rolling Stone last year. “I guess he is another singer. My wife told me ‘That’s Neil Young. He sings the older songs.’ To this day I’ve never listened to any of his music.” The album was recorded with Young’s touring band, which includes Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar, keyboards), Chad Cromwell (drums), Rick Rosas (bass), Pegi Young (vocals) and Anthony Crawford (vocals, guitar). They just wrapped up an Australian tour and are headed to Canada and Europe later in the year. Here’s the track listing: “When Worlds Collide” “Fuel Line” “Just Singing A Song” “Johnny Magic” “Cough Up The Bucks” “Get Behind The Wheel” “Off The Road” “Hit The Road” “Light A Candle” “Fork In The Road” Related Stories: • Neil Young’s Eco-Challenge • Neil Young Opens Up the Vaults With Crazy Horse Disc, Box Set • Neil Young: “There’ll Never Be Another Crazy Horse” • Neil Young’s Biggest Fan Speaks: “His Voice Is Haunting,” Says Donald Trump

Ben Harper Gets Heavy With Relentless7 on “White Lies for Dark Times”

Photo: Foley/FilmMagic Ben Harper has plugged his guitar back in and cranked up the amp for his new album White Lies For Dark Times, an 11-song set soaked with hard rock and the deep Delta blues. “It’s a sound I’ve been looking for and reaching for in my mind,” Harper tells Rolling Stone (a full in the studio report can be found in our current issue). “We’ve taken turns kicking each others’ asses in the most gracious fashion, pushing this into new places.” Which means the album is more Cream than Jack Johnson, more “Faded” than “Steal My Kisses.” Why the louder sound? Harper’s ninth studio album will be his first with his new backing band Relentless7, three Austin-based musicians who initially worked with Harper on 2006’s Both Sides of the Gun. It also marks the first time Harper has recorded an album without his Innocent Criminals since 2003’s Diamonds on the Inside. Even though he’s fully committed to Relentless7, and will bring the band along for his slot at Bonnaroo, Harper still plans to keep the Innocent Criminals together, much like how Neil Young and Crazy Horse often took different paths but somehow always found their way back together. Rolling Stone caught Harper and Relentless7 at Los Angeles’ Spaceland in December 2008, where the band played White Lies tracks like the tough, howling “Number With No Name” and the brooding 12-string acoustic ballad “Skin Thin,” plus a cover of the Queen/David Bowie collaboration “Under Pressure.” The Smoking Section also talked with Harper about the R7 in the days following the group’s slot on the Rock the Vote! Tour. Related Stories: • Ben Harper Introduces New Blues-Rock Band Relentless7 • Smoking Section Exclusive: Ben Harper’s New Band • Ben Harper Turns Guitar Troubles Into Triumph at All Points West

Hear Springsteen’s “Working on a Dream” and Read Rolling Stone’s Five-Star Review

Bruce Springsteen is the star of Rolling Stone’s new cover and our reviews section, where the E Street man’s new album Working on a Dream earned a five-star review. Working, hailed as “the richest of the three great rock albums Springsteen has made this decade with the E Street Band,” features the Jersey legend reigniting “his early infatuation with the pop symphonies of Roy Orbison and Phil Spector.” If you can’t wait until the January 27th release date, you’re in luck: NPR is streaming Working in its entirety now on their Website, from “Outlaw Pete” to the album’s closing track “The Last Carnival,” a tribute to fallen E Streeter Danny Federici and the sequel to Springsteen’s 1973 song “Wild Billy’s Circus Story.” “The song ends with a choir of what sounds like Springsteen’s and Patti Scialfa’s layered voices, vaulting up to infinity,” Brian Hiatt writes. “For a fallen comrade, it’s one last opera out on the turnpike.” Working picks up where those Magic tunes left off, and then goes further,” Hiatt writes. “As much as anyone, Springsteen has mastered the key sounds of rock’s golden age, and he deploys them at will on this album, diving deep into influences that he’s only hinted at before on record.” On songs like eight-minute opener “Outlaw Pete,” Springsteen does “everything short of dragging an actual horse into the studio: There are tempo changes, chugging cellos, Once Upon a Time in America harmonica wails, massed strings, crescendo after crescendo — and a lyrical closing guitar solo worthy of ‘Jungleland.’ ” Read the full review here: • Bruce Springsteen - Working on a Dream

Single Minded: Jack White Duets With Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Lily Allen, Of Montreal and More

Every Tuesday Single Minded highlights new tracks hitting stores (or the Web) this week. On Fridays, come back for rarities, remixes, mash-ups and more. Jack White and Bob Dylan, “Meet Me in the Morning” [Live Duet] It’s genuinely difficult to figure out who this duet benefits more. It’s like God doing a duet with PJ Harvey in an all-you-can-eat burrito bar while The Big Lebowski is playing in the background. Lily Allen, “Don’t Get me Wrong” [Pretenders Cover] Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: young British female singer crosses paths with uber-producer Mark Ronson, crafts an album that’s championed by blogs, becomes tabloid sensation and slowly begins exhibiting erratic behavior. Instead of flaming out in a series of increasingly embarrassing public scuffs involving marital scratching and horse pills, this one toughs it out, stays the course and eventually turns in a charming little cover of a Pretenders song. Oh, America. Always hitching your horse to the wrong cart. Of Montreal, “Friends of Mine” [Zombies Cover] Athens costume-pop band drag a Zombies chestnut into the big, dark Romper Room of the soul. For everyone who ever wondered what a pop song would sound like if it was made out of Nerf. Elvis Costello, “Beautiful” [Christina Aguilera Cover] This version features some kind of clanging electro-percussion and lunar lounge xylophones. Also known as the “Dad, stop embarrassing me!” mix. Wale, “Good Girl” [Cousin Cole Remix] It’s obviously a little ridiculous to post a remix of a song by a semi-obscure D.C. rapper, but we’re still living in the ideal universe, remember? The one where Lily Allen beats Amy Winehouse. In that one, Wale is huge and Shop Boyz are marginal regional celebrities. So enjoy this remix of his number-one single.
