"Songs from my life, from 1966-2022, are newly recorded here in an acoustic music montage." - Neil Young
Neil Young has announced a new album called Before and After, arriving on December 8th via Reprise. But instead of writing and recording a batch of new material, the singer-songwriter took a cue from the Taylor Swift playbook, re-recording select songs from throughout his career.
Before and After is described as “a trip into his music history,” with Young having picked some of his own favorite songs from his catalog to re-visit. It’ll mostly be solo acoustic re-recordings, sequenced so its 13 songs blend seamlessly together from front to back.
“The feeling is captured, not in pieces, but as a whole piece — designed to be listened to that way,” Young said in a statement. “This music presentation defies shuffling, digital organization, separation. Only for listening. That says it all.”
Young also co-produced and co-mixed the record, which includes his 1966 debut with Buffalo Springfield “Burned” all the way up to his 2021 tune “Don’t Forget Love.” There’s also a previously-unreleased song called “If You Got Love.”
