Product Description
Neil Young's first ever orchestral album. Storytone was recorded with a 92-piece orchestra and choir, fulfilling Neil's life-long dream to record with an orchestra that performed in the same room with him as he sang. The album is very personal for Young in terms of its lyrical content, as well as the mood and setting of the songs and the way they were recorded with particularly pristine sound quality. Storytone is available as a single-disc orchestral album or as a deluxe double-disc version, which contains the original album plus solo renditions of the same songs.

1. Plastic Flowers
2. Who's Gonna Stand Up?
3. I Want To Drive My Car
4. Glimmer
5. Say Hello To Chicago
6. Tumbleweed
7. Like You Used To Do
8. I'm Glad I Found You
9. When I Watch You Sleeping
10. All Those Dreams

I read somewhere that he's recording with an orchestra- everything in mono using just one microphone.

Unlike his phone booth epic, I'm willing to give Neil the benefit of the doubt on this one. At least he's moved up to 1950's technology (hopefully he's moved up to magnetic tape). The audiophiles out there will know their recording histories a lot better than I, but I think there are a number of single mike recordings that are perfectly acceptable to modern ears. Of course I also gave A Letter Home that same benefit. I doubt I'll ever listen to that one again. I really wish some interviewer would pin him down on why he's so obsessed with sound quality, except on his own recent work.

I read an article that explained just why letter sounded so bad. If you're near my age, you may remember that some attorneys in the early 60's had a record player/recorder that made really bad sounding voice recordings on a special recordable 45 vinyl type disc. The discs were only designed to last for a few plays. That's what NY used.

As far as one mike; if someone is REALLY SKILLED it can be made to sound good (See the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions if I remember correctly).

Is Neil Young Recording His Orchestral Album?
By Lars Brandle | September 02, 2014 4:54 AM EDT

Neil Young is apparently making good on his plan to record an orchestral album.

The legendary Canadian artist has been at work in the studio cutting a new recording with the highly-rated German-born composer and arranger Chris Walden. The longplayer is said to have a working title of Storytone. And it may yet get a release before Christmas, if the rumors are to be believed.

Young hasn’t yet confirmed any details on what would be his 35th album, though eagle-eyed fans spotted the next best thing on Walden’s official website. On it, Walden’s “recent projects” section highlights the fact he’s written arrangements for an “upcoming Neil Young album.” According to reports, the comment originally mentioned the album's name Storytone along with a release date of Nov. 4, though this nugget has since been removed. Adding further fuel to the hot rumor is music contractor Gina Zimmitti, who let the world in on a secret when she posted photos of Walden and Young’s recent sessions.

“We don't feel cheesy calling this one a "precious moment" - George Doering, Chris Walden, and Neil Young (L to R). First day recording Chris Walden's fantastic arrangements for Neil Young, Zimmitti wrote in one post. The session was held at Sony Pictures Scoring Stage.

Young told Billboard he has a yearning to do something symphonic. "I'd like to make a record with a full-blown orchestra, live -- a mono recording with one mic," he told Billboard earlier this year. "I want to do something like that where we really record what happened, with one point of view and the musicians moved closer and farther away, the way it was done in the past. To me that's a challenge and it's a sound that's unbelievable, and you can't get it any other way. So I'm into doing that."

The album is going to be called Storytone, and it will be released sometime in November. Here's the first preview track:

Neil's writing for his 3rd grade audience again, to his detriment.

Maybe Neil, Rod Stewart, and Sting could all stage a Broadway show. Not my cup of tea.
