Featuring music originally broadcast as a part of the "Porch Episode" of Neil Young's livestreamed Fireside Sessions, The Times EP is a politically-charged collection of classics spanning Neil Young's catalog, including iconic protest songs like "Ohio," "Alabama," "Southern Man," "Campaigner," and more.
The EP also features "Lookin' For A Leader 2020," a lyrically revised and impassioned update to "Looking for a Leader," which was originally released on Young's 2006 album Living with War. The EP also features Young's Homegrown original "Little Wing" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'"- the latter of which is available to stream now on Amazon Music.
"I'm on Amazon Music because no one delivers better sound to the masses," said Neil Young.
The Times EP will be available to Amazon Music HD customers in HD and Ultra HD on Amazon Music HD, Amazon Music's high-quality streaming service. Amazon Music HD offers the highest-quality listening experience available, with more than 60 million songs available in High Definition (HD), millions of songs in Ultra HD, and a growing catalog of 3D Audio.
Young worked with Niko Bolas to prepare the "Porch Sessions" recordings for official release, ensuring that each song was presented in full Ultra HD audio, with all tracks boasting a bit depth of 24 bits and a sample rate of 48 kHz. Like all music featured on Amazon Music HD, all songs on The Times EP were delivered using FLAC, a lossless digital audio format intended to preserve the quality of the original recording. In addition, the full Porch Session video will also be available on demand on Prime Video starting on September 18.

Neil Young's Amazon Original EP follows the release of Homegrown. Often referred to by fans as one of Young's mysterious, great "lost albums," the twelve studio tracks were originally recorded in analog in 1974 and 1975 and mixed to original stereo master tapes. Released earlier this summer, the original mixes were restored with love and care by John Hanlon, and mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, making Homegrown a completely original album.
Young has also worked extensively throughout 2020 with Daryl Hannah to produce a series of livestreamed Fireside Sessions, featuring warm, intimate performances from Young, as well as some surprising setlists. The Fireside Sessions are available on Young's innovative, comprehensive website neilyoungarchives.com.
