Neil Young Working on New Album

Paste Magazine is reporting that Neil Young has already begun work on a new album. This new album--still unnamed--is meant to be a follow up to 2009’s awful release, Fork in the Road.

Fork in the Road was a concept album by Young that dealt with the auto industry. It was not his best work.

In what could be a threat as much as a statement, Young says “I’ve already written four or five songs and I don’t want to stop. And I hope to be able to continue for a really long time.”

Young has been in the news a great deal lately. He recently won his first Grammy in his nearly 50 year career (obviously not for Fork in the Road, but for Best Art Direction on Archives Vol. 1). Young also performed with Dave Matthews at the Hope For Haiti Now concert.

Neil Young has always been one to experiment (in the 80s he did an electronic album), but another Fork in the Road may be difficult for the author to take. The author decides to sigh and put on his copy of Harvest.
