    RESCHEDULED FROM 5/1: Neil Young & Crazy Horse

    Perhaps never has an album title so succinctly described a band’s essence as Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s 1990 grunge primer Ragged Glory. Young and his on-again-off-again backing band, helmed by bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina, have been kicking up an unbridled breed of rock since 1968. This outing now enlists Willie Nelson’s 33-year-old son Micah on guitar, guaranteeing it to be extra ragged and hopefully as glorious as the band’s coruscating ACL Fest set in 2012. NY&CH arrives fresh off an awesome Record Store Day purge of retitled live classics named after their essential statement: Fuckin’ Up.: – Kevin Curtin
