• Track Listing

Get two of the coolest dudes in rock together and this is what you get. Neil came down to Third Man’s Nashville headquarters to record a killer collection of covers with Jack White, utilizing a refurbished 1947 Voice-O-Graph recording booth (which could barely house Clark Kent changing into Superman, but sounds awesome). This new album has the warm, primitive vibe of a vintage Folkways recording: live-to-one-track (mono) recordings of Bert Jansch’s "Needle of Death;" 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 more songs that have personal meaning for Neil. This is a joy to behold on CD or 180-gram black vinyl. That joy gets ratcheted up in the deluxe edition here, which features two 180-gram black vinyl LPs (standard and audiophile versions), the album on CD, a DVD with footage of the album’s recording, a 12" x 12" full-color booklet, a download card for the hi-res audiophile version of the album and the grand finale: six 7" clear-vinyl 33 rpm discs, the seventh of which features Neil’s version of Dylan’s "Blowin’ in the Wind" b/w an alternate take/arrangement of "Crazy." An inspired collaboration crossing two generations of revered rock stars, with an ultra-lavish boxed set as the encore! Reprise/Third Man.
