NEIL YOUNG TO RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM, STORYTONE, ON NOVEMBER 4TH VIA REPRISE RECORDS
VINYL EDITION TO FOLLOW ON DECEMBER 16TH
PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE TODAY, OCTOBER 9TH

October 9, 2014 - (Burbank, CA.) - Neil Young will release his latest studio album, entitled Storytone, on November 4th via Reprise Records. Storytone has 10 brand new compositions recorded live in the studio with a 92-piece orchestra, choir and Young.

He took a different approach with this record, first recording the songs on his own in a solo-setting, then creating compelling versions of the songs in a new light with an orchestra and big band, resulting in a deeply-personal emotional listening experience throughout the new record.

The first track released from the album is "Who's Gonna Stand Up?," which was originally performed at Crazy Horse shows in the U.K. this summer and more recently, as part of Young's solo acoustic set at Farm Aid. The track captivated audiences in its resounding plea to end dependence of fossil fuels in hopes of protecting the Earth's fragile eco-systems for future generations. To learn more about the initiative, visit: http://www.neilyoung.com/news/.

In addition to the new single available on Soundcloud, other standout tracks from the album include the bittersweet album opener "Plastic Flowers," the bluesy swing of "I Want To Drive My Car," the aching "Tumbleweed," or the heartfelt "When I Watch You Sleeping." Each song evokes an entirely different feel within the context of its presentation.

The pre-order for Storytone is available now at all participating digital retailers including iTunes & Amazon. Configurations include; a standard CD edition that features the 10 orchestral song versions of Storytone, the deluxe CD edition (containing both standard and solo versions), and the deluxe 180 gram double vinyl pressing, which will be released on December 16th and will feature both versions of the album.

Those who pre-order the deluxe CD edition, deluxe vinyl edition or the PonoMusic edition will receive instant downloads of both the orchestral and solo versions of "Who's Gonna Stand Up?"

Exclusive album bundles include a limited edition, heavy stock lithograph of the album artwork by Neil Young.

All of the Storytone music was produced by The Volume Dealers (Neil Young and Niko Bolas), recorded and mixed by Al Schmitt with additional co-production, arrangements, orchestration, and conducted by Michael Bearden and Chris Walden.

The track-listing for Storytone is as follows:

Plastic Flowers
Who's Gonna Stand Up?
I Want To Drive My Car
Glimmer
Say Hello To Chicago
Tumbleweed
Like You Used To Do
I'm Glad I Found You
When I Watch You Sleeping
All Those Dreams

Emphasis mine.

I Want To Drive My Car

we know, neil!

Say Hello To Chicago

One of the least-effective arrangements on the record; he means Chicago the band.

Preorder price on the vinyl at amazon (now disappeared): $69.95

"Harvest Moon" popped on random shuffle the other day. Man, if there were just one Neil album Pegi will probably want to avoid for life ...

one of those new tunes -- sounds pretty good!

Neil on why new memoir two years after first (fine w me):

http://www.npr.org/2014/10/12/355564085/neil-youngs-writes-of-his-love-affair-with-cars

Don't want to sound like a broken $49.95 180 gram record, but two memoirs in two years and no archive box for five going on six...can we at least get the Danny Whitten comp next year?

Neil said he will not release Archives II until the laws are changed and people are allowed to marry their cars.

We're starting to build and scale up, but the demand for them was awesome…We're making this for people that want it. We're not making it for people that don't want it, but they may not know then want it until they hear it. It's a gentle revolution. We're not trying to bowl over the world. We don't think success is anything you can tangibly see. It's a smile."

put THAT in a quarterly report

also pumped for his album about how great paddleboarding is

Neil Young on the Howard Stern show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIwWAX6bHwI

I still haven't listened/watched that yet.

it's gone now, i think

Stern didn't ask him about his divorce? Sheesh, what a missed opportunity. Probably the topic was off limits.

Yeah I'm sure, Stern is kinda used to pushing ppl on stuff but I don't think ppl can make Neil do anything he doesn't want to do

Supposedly Stern, for some reason, has always wanted Neil Young on his show (and this get comes right after getting Bill Murray; is Stern dying!?!). But didn't Neil somewhere note that Stern understood his extreme disinterest in discussing his domestic situation? My guess is Stern wanted Young so bad he'd rather stay mum than have him walk out a la Pete Townshend.

Speaking of which, David Crosby has been mouthing off a lot more than usual lately, and the implication is that Crosby dissing Daryl Hannah is what caused Neil to, out of nowhere, announce no more CSNY ever. Like anyone expected it. He and the Cros are very much at odds.

Crosby didn’t mince words when the Idaho Statesman asked him to weigh in on the news that his on-again, off-again longtime creative partner Neil Young had filed for divorce from his wife of nearly 40 years, saying you’d never see him breaking his marriage vows. “Not gonna happen, man,” he vowed. “I’ve been with my wife 37 years, and I’m in love with her. I ain’t goin’ nowhere.”

Crosby also made it clear that he doesn’t think much of Young’s new girlfriend (rumored to be actress Daryl Hannah). “Thirty-seven years! That’s a freakin’ miracle,” he continued. “And I just don’t feel the urge to go try something new. And I happen to know that he’s hanging out with somebody that’s a purely poisonous predator now. And that’s karma. He’s gonna get hurt. But I understand why it happened. I’m just sad about it. I’m always sad when I see love get tossed in the gutter.”

Why can't they just go on as three

Crosby was always a jerk.

Btw, the colbert interview was funny

Why can't they just go on as three

Sad news about our dear friend #RickRosas passing. I am in shock and deeply saddened. His friendship and bass playin' will 4ever be missed.

He's really good on the Buffalo Springfield and other NY show tapes that I've heard.

man that's a bummer - pro bassists can sound pretty obnoxious under neil when you're used to billy talbot and this guy never offended, something i think i underappreciated on freedom, etc. that he could even fill in for billy is impressive.

i mean, anybody that can sound right with neil alongside buffalo springfield, crazy horse AND CSNY is kicking ass

Amen. Just quoted you, with attribution, on Twitter.

aw, rick "the bass player" rosas! RIP. still think The Restless (Rosas, Poncho, Ben Keith, Chad Cromwell) was one of neil's best live bands.

"I used to line up and get my latte everyday, but yesterday was my last one," Young wrote. "Starbucks has teamed up with Monsanto to sue Vermont, and stop accurate food labeling."

Hey Now Hey Now Now

No GMOs in my pumpkin spiiice

I used to line up and get my latte everyday
But yesterday was my last one
Starbucks has teamed up with Monsanto to sue Vermont
and stop accurate food labeling.

Throw some more lyrics and some sick crazy horse guitar into the mix and a harmony-laden chorus and I be the can get a 12 jam out of this song
