Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young

A split-personality live document moving from fragile, campfire folk to thunderous, distorted rock. The definitive bridge between 70s folk and 90s grunge.

June 22, 1979 · Reprise Records

A defiant struggle between the peace of the past and the chaotic noise of the future.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the delicate acoustic strumming of the opener to the crushing, overdriven sludge of the finale.
The haunting, lonely harmonica solo that pierces through the historical narrative of 'Pocahontas'.
The explosive, jagged guitar solo in 'Powderfinger' that feels like it's physically straining against the amplifier.
