#NeilYoung6Music - help create a Neil Young-inspired playlist

Tom Robinson asks 6 Music listeners to create the ultimate Neil Young-inspired playlist, following news of Neil Young streaming his new album online.

With news of Neil Young streaming his new album online, Tom Robinson asks 6 Music listeners to create the ultimate Neil Young inspired playlist.

This week the music veteran made his album 'Storytone' available to listen online ahead of next week's release creating a buzz in the digital-sphere. It's his second album this year and his 35th in total, spanning his five decades in the business.

Complete with a 92-piece orchestra and choir, this latest record counterbalances February's covers album 'A Letter Home', which was a much more lo-fi affair recorded using Jack White's Voice-O-Graph booth at this Third Man Records studio in Nashville.

For the playlist listeners are invited to suggest solo tracks by Neil Young himself, his other music projects or collaborations, his influences or those he's been influenced by, or any other interesting musicial connection they have up their sleeve.

Send song choices and comments via the hashtag #Soundtracks6Music on Twitter as well as through the 6 Music and Now Playing Facebook pages, dragging tracks on the show's collaborative playlists on Spotify and Rdio, or the other usual live show contact methods.
