Breaking through in the ’60s Los Angeles rock scene as one of the founding members of Buffalo Springfield as well as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young has been releasing hit records at a nearly unmatchable prolificacy. Some of his best-known solo records include Harvest, After The Goldrush and On The Beach.

Young released his latest record The Visitor in 2017 and the album’s opening Already Great is a direct riposte to the current US President’s campaign slogan. The record is his second which features the American rock band Promise of the Real, who feature in the critically acclaimed movie A Star Is Born.

Neil Young is widely known for singles such as Heart of Gold, Old Man, Rockin’ In the Free World and Harvest Moon.
