Ahead of the release of his 42nd studio album 'World Record', Neil Young and record producer Rick Rubin sit down with Zane Lowe for an intimate conversation at the iconic Shangri La Studios in Malibu, California.

The album marks the first collaboration between Neil Young and Rick Rubin. They explain the benefits and challenges of recording this album on tape, and debate the pros and cons of digital versus analog methods of making music. Neil expresses the importance of being environmentally conscious, and how that feeling comes alive in this album, specifically in tracks like "Live Earth". Young explains his desire to lead by example and make this project eco-friendly every step of the way, including in touring and creating a live music experience that is as sustainable as possible.
