Briefly: Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Sonic Youth, Ashanti

Neil Young 's next studio album, "Prairie Wind," will be issued Sept. 20 as a CD/DVD package.

A federal grand jury in New York has found that singer Ashanti owes her first producer, Genard Parker, $630,000 for breach of contract, the Associated Press reported. The producer worked with Ashanti in 1996 and 1997.

Ashanti's lawyer said the verdict will be appealed.
