About Neil Young

Neil Young is one of the most influential musicians in the rock and folk world. His career began in the 1960s with Buffalo Springfield. In 1968, he left the band and released his solo debut. A year later, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was released, marking his first collaboration with the American band Crazy Horse. Around the same time, he also became part of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

In the 1970s, he released albums such as Harvest, After The Gold Rush, and Tonight’s The Night, featuring classics like Southern Man, Heart of Gold, Old Man, and Like A Hurricane.

Musical Evolution

In the early 1980s, Young experimented with various musical styles, ranging from country, folk, and blues to grunge and electronic music. In 1989, he returned to his familiar style with the album Freedom—featuring the hit single Rockin’ In The Free World.

He continues to release remarkable albums, such as Hitchhiker (2017), Homegrown (2020), and Chrome Dreams (2023).
