Playlists containing Neil Young

Neil Young's rusty, heartbreaking voice is one of the most distinctive in rock 'n' roll, and his career, always fascinating and never predictable, continues to brim with vitality after 40 plus years of music-making. From the late-1960s as a member of Buffalo Springfield to his multifarious solo career (ranging from the drunken, harrowing catharsis of 1975’s <i>Tonight’s the Night</i> to the synth-driven, experimental sounds of 1983’s <i>Trans</i>), Young's resume is a smorgasbord of musical tastes. From rockabilly to blues and folk to electric-guitar rock, Young has done it all, whether flying solo or as part of Crazy Horse and/or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Few other singer-songwriters have had his level of influence or his breadth of stunning studio output. Each year, he holds a benefit for the Bridge School, a Northern California school for mentally or physically challenged students he helped start back in 1986. In 2002, writer Jimmy McDonough published <i>Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography</i>, which gave what is still the best available account of Young’s storied career, from his earliest days in Canada to his longtime tenure on America’s west coast. His fifth decade as an extraordinary performer and songwriter sees him channeling his younger days, reuniting with old bands and giving fans another chance to see this legend on stage.
