Neil Young

In April 1988, when Neil Young performed 'Coupe de Ville' with The Bluenotes in New York City, he was riding a wave of creative revival, following his 1987 album 'Life.' This period marked a unique turn in Young's career, as he explored a more soulful sound, drawing influences from rhythm and blues that were apparent in his live shows. The Bluenotes provided a fresh backing, and the excitement in the room was palpable. Young was known for his unpredictable setlists and emotional delivery, which made every performance a unique experience. Fun fact: during this era, he was also grappling with his place in the music scene, pushing boundaries and redefining his artistry at a time when many peers were settling into comfortable routines.
