Neil Young - Le Noise (2010)

It would be only natural for those already wary of Neil Young – of his position as grandaddy of Americana – to redouble their guard against his latest album. It is almost avant garde. There's Young, bereft of band, playing guitar, periodically ambushed by some woo-woo sound effects. That's it. Recorded over three successive full moons, Le Noise – Neil Young's 83rd album, give or take – refers to fellow Canadian Daniel Lanois, the producer(U2, Bob Dylan) enjoined by Young to help him make a solo acoustic album. It turned out mostly electric, befitting a man who was a hero to Kurt Cobain. It also turned out rather well.
