Pegi Young will be releasing her first album this June according to Billboard.com. Referring to the album's songs, she says "They helped tell this story I was thinking about and was taking shape in my head; it's sort of a melancholy theme and a reflective record."

From Billboard.com:

"Young recorded the album in her husband's studio at their Northern California ranch with assistance from bassist Rick Rosas, guitarist Anthony Crawford, drummers Karl Himmel and Chad Cromwell and pedal steel whiz Ben Keith. And yes, Neil wound up playing on a host of tracks, including an electric sitar solo on "Love Like Water."

"Leading up to it, I put the band together and we just sort of avoided discussing whether Neil was going to play on it or not," Young says. "He dropped by the first day and kind of listened, and the next day, the guys at the studio had wisely created a little space for him, should he want to participate at all. And then he just ended up playing on everything, all the way through."

Neil playing sitar should be interesting.
