Overview
It seems that the four promo clips for Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Americana using vintage film clips were all leading up to this.
Today, Young released a forty-minute silent-style film to accompany the release of the album, coming on June 5. Directed by Young's alter-ego, Bernard Sharkey, the film follows an author as he looks for the right illustrations for a book he is writing on American songs. The songs, including the previously released shorts, are interspersed between the newly shot footage which has a piano accompaniment.
The illustrations shown in the film are by designer/illustrator Shepard Fairey and will be available for viewing at Perry Rubinstein Gallery in Los Angeles for the next two months.
To see the full film, go to NPR.
