Stream Neil Young's 'Storytone' Now [LISTEN]

Neil Young's 35th studio album, Storytone, will be released Nov. 4, but in the meantime you can stream the entire effort over at NPR.

The singer recorded two versions of the album: one with only an acoustic guitar and another with a 92-piece orchestra. Both albums are available to stream. Check out the full tracklist below.

Young released three different versions of the album's first single, "Who's Gonna Stand Up," last month.

"I'd like to make a record with a full-blown orchestra, live — a mono recording with one mic," he told Billboard in March. "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."

In an interview with Howard Stern last month, Young talked about the recording process for Storytone.

"It was a great experience," he said, Rolling Stone noted. "I was in a room with all these musicians. We did it all at once. There's no overdubs. Be great or be gone. That's what my producer David Briggs always said. You only have one shot at a time and you can't go fix it. I knew where I wanted to go with the songs, and the orchestra had charts and an arranger and everything ... It was done with up to a 90-piece orchestra. We did it live in the room like Sinatra."
