A Neil Young album I like which I have not seen mentioned here is Sleeps With Angels. It is a Crazy Horse album. Came out in 94, and, as at least a few albums which came out at that time, there are songs on it which deal with Kurt Cobain's suicide (Cobain quoted Hey Hey My My in his suicide note... Pearl Jam and R.E.M. are a couple other bands I can think of who had Cobain-related songs after his death) but it is not like a Kurt Cobain concept album or anything, there is like one or maybe two songs which deal with him. The rest are really great kinda jammy atmospheric songs, really layered in their sound. Some heavier stuff with some lighter stuff, but the lighter stuff is not really "folky" as lots of his other stuff.
Speaking of Pearl Jam, don't know if you like them, but they act as his backing band on his Mirrorball album. This is a pretty gritty rockin album, may be worth checking out as well.
