Neil Young And Crazy Horse To Launch First Tour In Eight Years

It took the Buffalo Springfield 43 years to reunite, but when it comes to Neil Young and longtime band Crazy Horse, eight is enough.

Today, Young announced that he and Crazy Horse (Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, and Poncho Sampredo) will tour behind their new album  Americana, a collection of reimagined American standards (read our review.) The tour includes stops at Austin City Music Festival and Outside Lands, as well as the Hollywood Bowl and Madison Square Garden.

As an added bonus, fans who buy their  tickets online will receive a copy of the Americana CD, available in stores Tuesday, June 5^th. Tickets go on sale starting June 8^th in select markets at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
