Fork in the Road - Neil Young (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of Fork in the Road by Neil Young. The Canadian-American singer-songwriter released his twenty-ninth studio on April 7, 2009, through Reprise Records. Produced by Young and Niko Bolas under the moniker “The Volume Dealers,” Fork in the Road was an album inspired by a car. Not just any car, mind you, but the Lincoln Continental that Young had gotten retooled to run on alternative energy. In case you hadn’t gotten the memo, Young’s been part of a project with mechanic Jonathan Goodwin called Lincvolt. Their goal? “To inspire a generation by creating a clean automobile propulsion technology that serves the needs of the 21st Century and delivers performance that is a reflection of the driver's spirit.”

Fork in the Road ultimately met a better fate than its inspiration: the album hit #19 on the Billboard 200 and earned Young a Grammy nod for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, but the Lincvolt’s wall charging system caused a fire which caused more than a million dollars of damage. Young’s position on the matter: “The wall charging system was not completely tested and had never been left unattended. A mistake was made. It was not the fault of the car.”
