Neil Young has really been emptying his vault this year, and it doesn't look like that will be stoping anytime soon. He has announced The Archives Vol. II: 1972-1976 -- the long-awaited sequel to his 2009 box set The Archives Vol. 1: 1963-1972 -- which is due November 20. It features 10 discs, including 12 previously unreleased songs and 50 previously unreleased versions of songs.

Among the entirely never-before-heard songs are "Letter From ‘Nam,” “Come Along and Say You Will,” “Goodbye Christmas on the Shore” and “Sweet Joni” from 1972/1973; a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Raised on Robbery” from the Tonight's the Night era; On the Beach-era outtake "Greensleeves"; “LA Girls and Ocean Boys,” “Frozen Man” and “Daughters” from 1974; "Born to Run" (unrelated to the Springsteen song) from the Zuma sessions; and "Mediterranean" from the sessions for the aborted CSNY album Human Highway.

The Archives Vol. II also contains Odeon Budokan, a live album recorded with Crazy Horse in London and Tokyo in 1976. Homegrown, the excellent lost 1975 album that Neil released earlier this year, is part of this set too.

Full tracklist below and more info at Neil Young Archives.

Meanwhile, this past Friday (9/18), Neil released a new EP, The Times, featuring recordings from the solo acoustic porch and fireside sessions he's been doing this year. It includes his cover of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'," his new Trump-era version of "Lookin' for a Leader," and classic songs "Alabama," "Campaigner," "Ohio," "Southern Man," and "Little Wing." You can stream that here:
