What's After the Movie
Neil Young
Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter, musician, film director, and screenwriter. Known for his unique voice, prolific songwriting, and a career spanning several decades, his work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, a signature high tenor singing voice, and a penchant for sociopolitical issues.
Starting with his music career in Winnipeg, Young moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, there he formed Buffalo Springfield, beginning his long-term collaboration with Stephen Stills. His success continued to climb with solo career hits such as Harvest, After the Gold Rush, and Rust Never Sleeps. Over his decades-long career, Young has explored a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from country to hard rock, often releasing albums that were starkly different from their predecessors. His discography has been a profound influence on a range of musicians across genres. Outside of his music work, Young has played a vital role in causes relevant to farmers and environmentalism, as demonstrated with his co-founding of the benefit concert Farm Aid.
While also making notable contributions to the film industry — including directing several films using the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey" — Young wrote two autobiographies chronicling his career and life experiences.
