About Neil Young
Neil Percival Young, born on November 12, 1945, is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter. He is the son of journalist, sportswriter, and novelist Scott Young. Young began his music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s before moving to Los Angeles, where he formed the folk rock group Buffalo Springfield. His solo discography includes albums such as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969), After the Gold Rush (1970), Harvest (1972), On the Beach (1974), and Rust Never Sleeps (1979). He was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with whom he recorded the 1970 album Déjà Vu. Young's lyrics are known for their personal nature, and his high tenor singing voice is a distinctive feature of his work. He frequently plays piano and harmonica on his albums, which often blend folk, rock, and country genres. His electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, is characterized by distortion and has earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge." In 1995, he released the album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam. More recently, he has been backed by the band Promise of the Real.
