Neil Young - A Letter Home (Vinyl Box Set) (Vinly - LP/CD/DVD - 5/7/2014)

Neil Young recorded a collection of covers with Jack White on a refurbished 1947 Voice-O-Graph recording booth at Third Man's Nashville headquarters. Imagine a very simple recording studio not much larger than a phone booth and you ll get the idea. He describes the album as "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." Recorded live to track to one-track, mono, the album has an inherent warm, primitive feel of a vintage Folkways recording. As for the track-listing, Young chose songs that have personal meaning for him, such as British folk artist Bert Jansch s Needle of Death (which inspired Young to write 1972 s Needle and the Damage Done ), Bob Dylan s Girl from the North Country, Willie Nelson s Crazy, Don Everly s I Wonder If I Care as Much, Bruce Springsteen s My Home Town, and many others.
