"Neil Young has revealed why he works with his legendary backing band Crazy Horse only sporadically. Young - who recently announced a tour with the group - commented to Reuters that he likes to save his collaborations with Crazy Horse for very special projects.  &amp;quot;Some things you don&amp;#039;t want to wear out. A lot of people wear things out, but there&amp;#039;s a time for everything, so I try to listen to my clock,&amp;quot; the musician explained. Crazy Horse appear on Young&amp;#039;s latest studio album Americana, a collection of folk songs such as &amp;#039;Oh Susannah&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Clementine&amp;#039;. Young said that he was drawn to revisiting classic folk tunes because he believes they have been largely misinterpreted over the decades. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a lot more to them than the way I first heard them done by these happy folk singers. They left out a lot of the original verses and the songs are very dark and a lot more political than that,&amp;quot; he recalled.  &amp;quot;So we tried to create an intensity that was on a par with the original, even though we didn&amp;#039;t use the same melodies or similar structure other than the lyrics. We retained the cadences, but that was about it.&amp;quot; Young and Crazy Horse kick off their summer tour in Morrison, CO on August 5.
