Neil's live performances have a lot more views than his studio tracks, that's how great he is live. I've seen him live, he's amazing. People claim he doesn't have a great voice but his live performances show how powerful his voice is. Neil's catalog is as powerful Dylan's imo.

Neil's acoustic guitar playing was a BIG influence on my own playing. Especially on the song "Old Man". When I first heard that "muted thump of the strings and then up strumming" style he does on that song, I was blown away and just had to learn to play that because I loved it so much. I spent hours trying to perfect it to sound like his playing.

"After the Gold Rush" is his most beautiful song and it's one of those songs where the music and the melody is so good that it feels like it has existed forever. You are fully aware of where it's going the entire time but not because it's simple and predictable. It's hard to describe but after you've heard it you can swear that it's existed forever. It's kind of like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" or "Yesterday". You feel like it has been there for a million years.

I used to see Neil in and around Santa Cruz all the time back int he 70's when I was a kid. He played in a local band called the Ducks as a side gig with my little league coach, Jeff Blackburn (who is given the writing credit for "It's better to burn out than to rust" later turned into "fade away").. He lived in the Redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains, which is where I always figured that line came from.

Anyone who requests or states that they like a song has a valid point of view IMO. Neil has taken several roads less traveled specifically to avoid creating ‘commercialized’ music. I am a huge fan of his electric/rock work, even those for which he is sometimes criticized for playing extended one-note-solos. That said, I think his acoustic work is warm, genuine, and captivating. Add points for playing harmonica simultaneously. IMO, his acoustic songs are certainly not crap. If a few became commercially successful, which I interpret you to mean radio air-play, I think the market (listeners and buyers) mostly determines that.

He once said that the most important thing for him was to work with musicians who have a special spirit for the music. They don't have to be the best technically but show him a vibe for the music that supercedes everything else. Look up his performance with the Band in the Last Waltz of his song Helpless. Truly a great moment. Also look up his version of the Beatles song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" that he sung to Paul McCartney. He took one of the all-time classic songs and created another great version of his own.

Perceptive review, Sayed. You're the first person I've heard mention the wisdom in Neil Young 's voice. I've never thought of that before, and you're right. You also noted that this song was a big hit (which made Neil uncomfortable because he didn't want to be known for one big hit). I was just a little kid at the time, but in the 60s and the early 70s the most popular music was the BEST music.. I think that started to fade around 1973, and by the end of the 70s, music had gotten more and more commercial, and a lot of the biggest hits were kinda crappy. Neil Young is a unique and extraordinary musician. A beautiful acoustic guitarist, a force of nature on electric guitar, a mournful sounding harmonica player and a voice like no other. He's also written a bunch of fantastic songs. My favorite song of his has to be 'Like a Hurricane ", which features his electric guitar raging like a storm. Sayed, I'm confident that you'll be "blown away" and it'll take your appreciation for Neil as a great guitarist to a whole new level. Other great Neil Young songs I encourage you to review are: Cortez the Killer ✓ (done) Powderfinger Thrasher Down by the River I'm the Ocean (with Pearl Jam) Oh, and his video of "Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks" for his doo wop song, "Wonderin'" is probably my favorite music video ever. Neil's performance makes me laugh every time I see it, and it gives you an idea of his personality. If you want to hear a good, atypical style Neil Young song and have a laugh, check it out.

I've never really understood what the lyrics meant, except that he is searching for a soul mate. Is he saying he's met someone in the past, but it didn't quite work out to THAT one he's looking for. If so, we are all miner's for a heart of gold. But that seems too simple I feel there is a deeper meaning. Is it commentary about the solitary journey through life? How do other's interpret this song? The writing is beautiful "I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line"...Wow. I never get tired of listening to Neil Young.
