About the artist
Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist whose career stretches back to the mid-1960s, when he co-founded the folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in Los Angeles alongside Stephen Stills and Richie Furay. He soon launched a prolific solo career, releasing his self-titled debut in 1968 and following it with a string of landmark albums that fused folk, country and hard rock. He also became a key member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, adding his reedy tenor voice and sharp songwriting to their close vocal harmonies.
Young is known for restlessly switching between gentle acoustic introspection and raw, distorted electric rock, often with his longtime backing band Crazy Horse. Songs like «Heart of Gold», «Old Man» and «Harvest Moon» showcase his tender, confessional side, while «My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)», «Southern Man» and «Rockin in the Free World» reveal a harder-edged, politically charged rocker whose influence on grunge earned him the nickname the Godfather of Grunge.
He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a solo artist and as a member of Buffalo Springfield, a rare double honor that reflects his enduring influence across folk, country and rock. Young remains active as a recording and touring artist, with a catalog spanning more than five decades.
