About Neil Young

Solo Album

His first solo album, “Neil Young” (1968), has not made the proper impression, but already the second disc “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” (1969), contained the songs that were recognized as a classic of the nascent hard rock, - “Cinnamon Girl” and “Down by the River”.

Country Rock

In 1972, Young recorded solo again, this time playing quiet and harmonious country rock. The result of his collaboration with Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor and a number of other talented musicians became one of the fundamental albums of the country rock, “Harvest”. To the bewilderment of the rock-alternative musician, the album and a single “Heart of Gold” from it climbed on the 1st line of the pop charts in the US.

Romantic Themes

In the second half of the 1970s, Yang continued to record and performs tirelessly in the “Crazy Horse” company. The album “American Stars' N Bars” (1977) contained an intense guitar track “Like a Hurricane” for the first time. It became the highlight of live performances of Young and his group. In the acoustic folk-rock album “Comes the Time” the musician returned to his best-selling romantic themes of “Harvest”. In 1979, he issued one of his most powerful albums – “Rust Never Sleeps”, which was intended to take stock of the decade.

Cinema Career

In 1994, Young's song for “Philadelphia” movie was nominated for “Oscar”, but conceded to the other song by Bruce Springsteen. In summer 1996, Young and “Crazy Horse” went to the US tour, which was the subject of a film by Jim Jarmusch's “Year of the Horse”. Young, in his turn, wrote the music for his feature film “Dead Man”.
