For this year’s Record Store Day, Neil Young released a limited pressing of a collection of lo-fi covers called A Letter Home. He’s now made it available for streaming via Amazon one week before its wide release on 27 May.
The record was produced by Jack White’s Third Man Records and recorded straight to vinyl via their refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph booth, giving the whole recording a grainy, old-timey sound. The album features covers of tracks by Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and more.
You can stream it via Amazon here up until 26 May.
