After the Gold Rush

Neil Young

A dusty, piano-led masterpiece of Topanga Canyon folk. Fragile melodies and apocalyptic imagery captured with a raw, basement-studio intimacy.

September 19, 1970 · Taedo

Find on Amazon

A fragile, dusty collection of songs that feel like a weary farewell to the 1960s.

Moments Worth Listening For
the haunting transition from the delicate piano of the title track into the jagged, heavy guitar riff of Southern Man
the way the vocal harmonies on Only Love Can Break Your Heart feel like they are barely holding together
the stark, lonely opening acoustic strum of Tell Me Why that sets the album's isolated tone
