Neil Young is expected to release a new album later this year which features material that was originally recorded in 2000.

Entitled ‘Toast’, after the Studio in San Francisco where it was recorded, the album is a collaboration with Crazy Horse.

According to a post on Young’s website, the band spent months working on the album but “came up with very little”.

Now however, John Hanlon, who worked on the original sessions, is understood to be re-working tracks from for an official release.

The post says that ‘Toast’ contains "three solid rockers” and other songs which are “extensive explorations between verses, kind of like a down-played ‘Tonight's The Night’."

The special edition of the album is described as “the beginning of a new series of unreleased albums" from Young.
