Neil Young

Neil Young

A tentative, lushly arranged debut. Neil Young navigates baroque pop and surrealist folk with a high, lonely tenor and cinematic string sections.

November 12, 1968 · Reprise Records

A fragile and ornate solitude that feels both cinematic and deeply private.

Moments Worth Listening For
The surreal, nine-minute acoustic sprawl of 'The Last Trip to Tulsa' where the lyrics shift from cab driving to dream-logic transformations.
The way the lush, Jack Nitzsche-arranged strings swell during the instrumental 'The Emperor of Wyoming' to create a cinematic Western feel.
The fragile, double-tracked vocal harmonies on 'I've Been Waiting for You' that create a haunting sense of romantic desperation.
