You’ve probably seen Jimmy Fallon do his ultra-famous Neil Young impression before, but there’s nothing better, really, than seeing Mr. Young himself on the Fallon stage, playing a track inside Jack White’s old-school novelty recording booth.
Jack White, eccentric, owns and operates the only working Voice-O-Graph in the world. The 1947 machine is basically a phone booth you can stroll into with your guitar, sing your song, and the machine it cuts you a vinyl version of the performance. The 45s the old novelty machine spits out aren’t perfect recordings, but rather woozy, hissy reproductions with a lot of charm.
And when it’s Neil Young singing a lovely old Willie Nelson track, well, it’s just about the greatest thing in the world.
