Neil Young And Jack White Record Straight To Vinyl On 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'

Jack White And Neil Young Make History On 'The Tonight Show'

Neil Young and Jack White made history when they were guests on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday, May 12. As part of the performance, Neil Young recorded a cover of Willie Nelson's "Crazy" straight to vinyl and distributed it at the end of the show.

Young recently recorded his latest album, "A Letter Home," in a 1947 Voice-O-Graph vinyl recording booth from White's Nashville-based Third Man Records, and he brought the same booth to Fallon's show. White told Fallon he had spent a decade looking for the machine and, after he found it, a year and a half renovating it. He debuted the booth at Record Store Day 2013.

Fallon had tweeted the news a few hours before the live taping of his show, announcing that the performance would make history. "Neil Young is going to perform and press a vinyl with the help of Jack White live on the show. One take. Fun," he wrote. He then posted a photo of the final product.
