Neil Young and Crazy Horse will release Americana, their first of two reunion albums planned for 2012, on June 5th via Reprise Records. The 11-track effort features rearrangements of classic, American folk songs. You’ve already heard the band’s take on “Oh Susannah”. Now, check out their reworking of “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”, which has been retitled to “Jesus’ Chariot”. The track comes packaged within a video featuring scenes from D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation.
