After Neil Young recorded solo renditions of the 10 songs on his new album “Storytone,” he recorded them all again with live accompaniment from an orchestra and a big band. See the video of Young singing “Tumbleweed” in the studio, alongside the 60-piece orchestra.

The sweeping violins underlayed with gentle pizzicato strings lend a cinematic quality to Young’s lonesome vocals on the song, which has lyrics that seem to celebrate the beauty in ephemeral moments. “Life is full of strange delights/ In the darkness we find lights/ To make our way/ Back home again,” Young sings.
“Storytone” follows “A Letter Home,” a collection of cover tunes Young recorded with Jack White and released on Record Store Day last April. They’re the latest albums in a storied career that has included dozens of releases on his own, with backing band Crazy Horse and also as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
“Storytone” came out this week on Warner Bros. Records.

FLORENCE and the MACHINE – ” What The Water Gave Us ” Bridge School Benefit 25/10/2014

Florence + The Machine played her first US show in nearly a year last night (26 October), as part of Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert. Florence and the Machine was an absolute revelation to many in the crowd, delivering arguably the best set of the day. But if some fans weren’t all familiar with the material, they couldn’t deny the voice — so big, so moving, so powerful. Band leader Florence Welch’s vocals were every bit as stunning as the red velvet suit she wore onstage.
The British singer, who has stayed relatively quiet in both the UK and the US over the past couple of years, confirmed earlier this year that she’s working on her third album. Her second, Ceremonials, was released back in 2011.

At Neil Young’s annual fundraising gig, which also included Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Young himself amongst the line-up, the singer performed an acoustic set which drew from studio albums
