Neil Young

In 1985, Neil Young performed 'My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)' at the iconic Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois, a pivotal moment during his career. Just prior, in 1984, he had released the album 'Old Ways,' which showcased his ongoing exploration of country music and roots rock. His set at Farm Aid not only highlighted his blend of folk and rock but reflected a deeper commitment to social issues, particularly the struggles of American farmers during that challenging era. Young's presence at this benefit concert was a testament to his evolution as an artist—he wasn't just about the music anymore, but about making a difference. Interestingly, 'My My, Hey Hey' has become one of his signature songs, embodying his raw and honest songwriting style, which resonates just as powerfully today.
