Just in time for the holidays, Neil Young will continue fortifying his undisputed post as the most stubbornly relevant golden-age pillar. Storytone, out November 4 on Reprise Records, will mark a polar shift in scope from his previous records, much to the surprise of no one. April’s minimal (and excellent) A Letter Home consisted of eleven cover songs cut in Jack White’s antique Voice-o-Graph recording booth, with just Young’s voice and an acoustic guitar. Storytone, however, will feature ten original tracks accompanied by a 92-piece orchestra and full choir. This record marks Young’s ninth record in the last ten years. It is a wonder tall trees ain’t laying down.
