Young won for “Angry World,” from his Daniel Lanois-produced 2010 disc, “Le Noise.”
Neil accepted his honor during the pre-show ceremony, saying "This is my first Grammy for music, and it's appreciated greatly.”
Last year, Young won his first-ever Grammy in the "Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package" category for his work on the boxed set "Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)."
Neil was not selected as the winner in the two other categories that he was up for on Sunday: “Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance” went to Paul McCartney, while “Best Rock Album” was presented to Muse.
