Neil Young performs Needle Of Death in Jack White's Third Man phono-recording booth

By Jack Brummet, Americana and Roots Music Ed.

Neil Young playing Bert Jansch's Needle of Death in Jack White's vintage phonograph recording booth, from his new album Letters From Home. This song is maybe my favorite (Del's too) from the album.

"I was especially taken by Needle Of Death, such a beautiful and angry song. That guy was so good… And years later, on On The Beach, I wrote the melody of Ambulance Blues by styling the guitar part completely on Needle Of Death. I wasn’t even aware of it, and someone else drew my attention to it."
