A new musical project has just announced itself. MudKings will feature Aloe Blacc on vocals, Robert Randolph on lap-steel and G. Love on harmonica.

The few clips the band has shared, suggest that the results will be an energetic blues driven rock project.

Second Song is the second studio album Neil Young has recorded with the band The Chrome Hearts. The album features seven songs written by Young. Five are previously unreleased, and two are unreleased versions. “Casting Me Away From You” is a three-minute tune that appears on the Neil Young Archives. Young accompanied it with a backstory, which explains that it “is one of my early songs. I think I wrote it in 64 or 65."
