Released in 1970, this third solo effort captured Young at a creative peak, featuring some of his most beloved compositions alongside collaborations with Crazy Horse members and contributions from a young Nils Lofgren. The album's blend of folk introspection, country-rock energy, and environmental consciousness helped define the early 1970s musical landscape while establishing Young as a major voice in American music. The album showcases Young's remarkable range as both a songwriter and performer, with standout tracks including "After the Gold Rush," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," and "Southern Man."
