Young's second solo album, 1969's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, marked the beginning of his decades-long association with the trio Crazy Horse, whose primitive punch was (and remains) a prime vehicle for Young's raw, spontaneous Rock vision. Young would work with Crosby, Stills and Nash on several occasions in the future, but his restless nature insured that those reunions would have a limited lifespan.
Their first album as a quartet, 1970's Deja Vu, became a massive hit. He had already launched a solo career when his ex-Buffalo Springfield bandmate Stephen Stills invited Young to join him in the Folk Rock supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash, which then became Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The Canadian-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist achieved his first major recognition in 1966 as a member of the Los Angeles-based Country Rock band Buffalo Springfield, which established Young as a distinctive, prodigious talent.
His idiosyncratic career path has found him alternating superstar smashes with staunchly uncommercial and/or highly personal projects - a pattern that he set early in his career and has maintained in the decades since.
In a career spanning five decades, Neil Young has earned wide admiration as an iconoclast who’s taken full advantage of Rock’s capacity for endless reinvention.
