Neil Young's 'A Letter Home' is a deeply personal collection of covers recorded on a refurbished 1947 Voice-O-Graph recording booth at Third Man Records in Nashville. The album features songs by Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, and others, all performed live to one-track mono, giving it a warm, vintage Folkways feel.
