About Neil Young
Neil Young’s music and
songwriting—which span forty years and thirty-four studio albums of rock and
roll, folk, and country, with shadings of blues, techno, and other styles—are
among the most enduring and popular in modern times. From his early days with
Buffalo Springfield through his solo career and collaborations with Crazy Horse and Crosby,
Stills & Nash, as well as dozens of other notable musicians and
groups, he is acclaimed for both his musical talents and his artistic
integrity. With a major hit in every decade since the sixties, he was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice (as a solo artist in 1995 and as a
member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997). A well-known political activist,
environmentalist, and philanthropist, he has been involved in several causes,
notably cofounding Farm Aid and the Bridge School, which assists children with
physical impairments and communication needs.
