Earlier in the week, we told you that Bill DeVille would have the chance to speak with a legend in folk and rock and roll music, Neil Young. Bill got a little more than 10 minutes of Uncle Neil's time -- he was on such a tight schedule, they didn't even get the chance to sign off! -- but he did get a chance to talk about the new record and the inspirations for recording it, and why he decided to get back together with Crazy Horse for this particular album. Hear the entire interview above.

Neil Young's Americana is out digitally and in stores on June 5th. We'll be featuring the album as CD of the Week starting June 12.
