About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In the 15 months between the release of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Gold Rush, Neil Young issued a series of recordings in different styles that could have prepared his listeners for the differences between the two LPs. His two compositions on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album Déjà Vu, "Helpless" and "Country Girl," returned him to the folk and country styles he had pursued before delving into the hard rock of Everybody Knows; two other singles, "Sugar Mountain" and "Oh, Lonesome Me," also emphasized those roots. But "Ohio," a CSNY single, rocked as hard as anything on the second album. After the Gold Rush was recorded with the aid of Nils Lofgren, a 17-year-old unknown whose piano was a major instrument, turning one of the few real rockers, "Southern Man" (which had unsparing protest lyrics typical of Phil Ochs), into a more stately effort than anything on the previous album and giving a classic tone to the title track, a mystical ballad that featured some of Young's most imaginative lyrics and became one of his most memorable songs. But much of After the Gold Rush consisted of country-folk love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young's major achievements.

July 25, 2009: Neil's albums tend to be either great or so-so, there is nothing so-so about this one. One of Neil's Great albums. A powerful collection of songs.

I Also Recommend: The Last Waltz, Rust Never Sleeps, Harvest, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

April 18, 2004: In my opinion, there are really no albums that are as good as After the Goldrush. It had a profound impact on me before I was 10 years old and to this day (15 years later) I still listen and reflect upon it more than any album. I have read reviews from Rolling Stone that say that this album was not ready to be released and that the music did not reach its full potential. Upon reading his biography you will find that what Neil releases is exactly what he wants people to hear. The music in this album is not about love as much as it is reflection. Southern Man and After the Goldrush best define this. All songs on here are fairly mellow and vary in mood. Tell Me Why is upbeat and positive where Oh Lonesome Me...I think the title speaks for itself. If you are new to the Neil Young experiance, do yourself a favor and buy this album. I promise you will never forget it.
