While he continues to write and record new music, Neil Young is also making time for his own journey through the past through a couple of upcoming releases.
Though it’s been five years and counting since the Canadian rocker released the first volume of his ‘Archives’ series, it looks like we might be close to seeing the release of the second. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Young talked about the state of the next box set. “It’ll be finished this summer. All of the music will be done,” Young said. “It goes just past [1979's] ‘Rust Never Sleeps.’ It’s full of albums that weren’t there before – stuff I did that I never put out.” Of the albums that Young recorded but never released during this period include ‘Chrome Dreams’ from 1977 and ‘Homegrown’ from 1974-5.
Neil Young has devoted most of his recent public appearances to discussing the PonoMusic Player, but there’s also new music to talk about — and plenty of it.
First up is the album Young recorded at Jack White‘s Nashville studio, which he insists will be out “very soon.” Predicting a possible spring release for the LP, titled ‘A Letter Home,’ Billboard quotes Young as saying the covers set is “not ready for prime time yet” and adding, “It’s not really a release yet, but it’s a very unique record. It’s like a time capsule. It doesn’t sound like anything you’ve heard that was made recently. And some great songs, some beautiful music…They’re songs that I love, songs that changed my life, songs that made it so that I understood what someone else was saying to me, songs by greater writers.”
