THE ragged rock genius’s first album of new material with his long-time collaborators in nearly a decade is, at first, a daunting proposition, with the opening track clocking in at almost 30 minutes, while two 16-minute epics lurk on the double-disc tracklist. Driftin’ Back is classic Crazy Horse, all loose, hypnotic riffing and soloing, but the Canadian singer’s rants about MP3s and hip-hop haircuts interjecting the jam session become tiresome over its length.
