We should have that new Neil Young album, “A Letter Home”, in sometime in the late afternoon on Monday. This new record definitely caught everyone by surprise! Jack White joins Neil on a few tracks. Here`s some background on the album. Pretty cool!!
**Third Man Records unearths Neil Young’s A Letter Home. ”An unheard collection of rediscovered songs from the past recorded on ancient electro mechanical technology captures and unleashes the essence of something that could have been gone forever…” – Homer Grosvenor
Last July (2013), Neil Young traveled to Nashville, Tenn to record an album of covers at Jack White’s Third Man Records on a refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph vinyl recording booth..
”Neil Young just stopped by. He was driving his electric car, the LincVolt, he was driving around town and filming stuff, and he stopped by, checked it out, and me and him were talking about it. We had a curtain set up on the other side,” said White. ”And some kid came into the recording booth and recorded a Neil Young song and when he opened the door, Neil Young just peaked his head out.”
”It was a pretty beautiful moment. And I think that a few months later he called me and said, ‘Hey man I want to come and record in that booth. Hey, maybe I’ll do my whole next record there.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not going to stop you. Where do you want me to pick you up?”’
