Pressed on limited-edition gold colored vinyl, Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 3 – Into the Black brings together an extraordinary lineup of artists—including Briston Maroney, LP, King Princess, Modest Mouse featuring Califone, Ben Gibbard, MJ Lenderman, Cold War Kids, Kurt Vile and The Violators, Devendra Banhart, Emily Hackett, RAC featuring Kelcey Ayer, and New Constellations—to celebrate the enduring songwriting of Neil Young. Together, they offer fresh interpretations of twelve songs from Young's remarkable catalog, spanning indie rock, alternative, folk, Americana, and beyond.

Among the album's highlights is King Princess's striking interpretation of "Helpless." Known for her emotionally honest songwriting and genre-blurring approach to indie rock and alternative pop, King Princess brings a fresh perspective to one of Neil Young's most beloved compositions while preserving the emotional depth that has made it a timeless classic.

Proceeds from Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young benefit The Bridge School, the nonprofit founded by Neil and Pegi Young in 1986 to help meet the communication and educational needs of their son, Ben. Built on the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to communicate, The Bridge School has spent the past 40 years transforming the lives of thousands of individuals with complex communication and physical disabilities through groundbreaking work in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), assistive technology (AT), education, research, and professional development.
