Neil Young has confirmed new details for his forthcoming new release.

The new album, titled Earth, is set for release on June 17 and will feature live recordings from several of Young's previous albums in recent years.

"Ninety-eight uninterrupted minutes long, Earth flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughout my life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together," Young says in a press release announcing the album.

"Our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience as well, and the animals, insects, birds and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times."
