Neil Young

Neil Young has built a career in constant friction with the idea of polish. He can sound fragile on acoustic guitar, brutal with Crazy Horse, electronic, country, blues or deliberately rough, but he almost always keeps the sense of risk.

From After the Gold Rush and Harvest to Rust Never Sleeps, Ragged Glory and his extensive archive series, Young treats his catalog as living matter. In 2026, Second Song extends that conversation between the present, memory and recordings that span decades.

Why listen to Neil Young?

Few catalogs make acoustic fragility and abrasive electricity feel like parts of the same biography.
