About Neil Young

Neil Young was born November 12, 1945 and began as a folk singer in Toronto. Here he first met future bandmates Stephen Stills and Richie Furay in the early '60s and played in the Mynah Birds with future R&B star Rick James, Steppenwolf's Goldy McJohn, and bassist Bruce Palmer.

In 1966, Neil Young drove with Palmer to Los Angeles, where he soon met up with Stills and Furay; together with drummer Dewey Martin, the five musicians formed Buffalo Springfield and were soon signed to Atco Records. The group recorded three albums between 1966-68, then disbanded; each member then pursued a career either in a solo or new group context, with Young, Stills, and Furay achieving the most notable success. 

The number of artists whose careers began in the '60s and whose work has continued to command critical respect through the '90s can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Somewhere on that hand is Neil Young. A brilliant songwriter, a quirky singer, and a guitarist whose piercing style has influenced an entire generation of young alternative rock fans, Young has spent his career exploring nearly every genre of popular music.

Beginning with the countrified pop/rock of '60s legends Buffalo Springfield, he has played rock (Neil Young, 1968), hard rock (Re*Ac*Tor, 1981), singer/songwriter-style pop (After The Goldrush, 1970), synth-rock (Trans, 1983), '50s-style rock and rockabilly (Everybody's Rockin', 1983), country music (Old Ways, 1985), rhythm & blues (This Note's For You, 1988), protest rock (Freedom, 1989), feedback-heavy art rock ( Arc, 1991), and, of course, the mandatory MTV Unplugged set. Through it all, though, he has always sounded like Neil Young--which may be the major reason he remains such a vital artist. 

Though Neil Young's 1969 solo debut Neil Young failed to chart, in some ways it remains one of his best efforts. A stylistic extension of his better work with Buffalo Springfield, the album featured Young working within a gorgeously melodic pop structure; including some of his best early material such as "The Loner", "I've Been Waiting For You," and "What Did You Do To My Life," the album also featured two atmospheric instrumentals and the extended, surrealistic folk-dirge "The Last Trip To Tulsa." 

Needing a band, Neil Young soon found one in Crazy Horse, who as the Rockets had already recorded a 1968 album for White Whale Records. Backed by guitarist Danny Whitten, bassist Billy Talbot, and drummer Ralph Molina, Neil Young then recorded Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, an album that has since assumed classic status in his canon. Crazy Horse were a near-perfect match for Young; by no means sessioned studio pros, they played hard and emotionally, providing drama and adrenalized surges to Young's sometimes bare-boned songs. Featuring "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl In The Sand," and "Down By The River"--a song that would be covered by Buddy Miles, Roy Buchanan, and every high school band formed in the next 10 years--Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was the first of eight albums Young would record with Crazy Horse. 

In the meantime, Neil Young had rejoined his former bandmate Stephen Stills as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Always seeming more an appendage than part of the original core trio, Neil played with the group at Woodstock, and contributed to both 1970's multi-platinum Deja Vu and the next year's live 4 Way Street. That group's immense popularity helped set up the success of his third album, 1970's After The GoldRush, which went top 10, stayed on the charts 66 weeks, and was certified double-platinum. Young's success was further consolidated by its follow-up, Harvest--his all-time bestseller, thanks largely to its No. 1 gold single "Heart Of Gold" and top 40 hit "Old Man." 

If there was a low point in Neil Young's career, it came in the mid-'80s. After delivering a series of stylistically quirky album to Geffen Records, with whom he'd signed in 1983, the label actually sued him for producing "non-typical" work. It was extremely ironic, since Young's work had habitually flitted from style to style for a decade previous to his Geffen signing. 

Twenty years after Harvest, Neil Young returned to "complete the circle" with the warmly accessible Harvest Moon, which stylistically echoed its predecessor in large part due to its inclusion of the Stray Gators, who'd played on the original. It was his first top 20 album in 13 years. Young's follow-up was his 1993 Unplugged session, which included material spanning his career from Buffalo Springfield, through his early solo days and underrated Trans period, on through Harvest Moon. 

Neil Young's status as a cross-generational icon was further cemented twice over soon after--first with 1994's Sleeps With Angels--which acknowledged the death of Nirvana 's Kurt Cobain (who had quoted a Young lyric in his suicide note), then with 1995's Mirror Ball, recorded with longtime fans Pearl Jam. And yet again, following a summer tour with Crazy Horse, Young released another live album--this one titled Year Of The Horse *.
