Neil Young

In 1985, Neil Young was deep into his artistic journey, having released the album 'Old Ways' just a year prior. This album explored his country roots and was part of the rich tapestry of his career that blended rock, folk, and country influences. By the time of the Farm Aid concert, Young was not just a musician but also an advocate for farmers, highlighting the struggles they faced. During the live performance of 'Get Back to the Country' alongside Waylon Jennings, you can really feel the camaraderie and shared purpose between these legends. It's a captivating moment that showcases not just music, but also a commitment to social issues. Plus, this event marked one of Young's early forays into activism, marrying his musical journey with a cause that resonated widely in America.
