    After the release of CSNY’s “Déjà vu” album, it quickly became obvious that the four members were writing more songs than the group could ever be expected to handle, so the four members all set off on creating solo albums.

    Each was quite good, meeting the expectations of fans, but Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” was an instant classic among classics. Crosby, Stills and Nash each debuted as a solo artist in the Summer of 1970, but Neil Young already had two albums under his belt. In this case, third time most certainly was the charm, as this remains one of the best-loved albums in Young’s entire career.

    Songs vary from direct (“When You Dance I Can Really Love”, “Southern Man”) to mysterious and evocative (“After the Gold Rush”, “Birds”), but they all seem to work brilliantly on their own terms.

    Featured tracks include:
