Neil Young

In the wake of the live recording at Farm Aid 2001, Neil Young had just released his album 'Silver & Gold' in 2000, a reflective collection that marked a return to a more rootsy sound. By 2001, Young was deeply ingrained in the Americana vibe, using music as a platform for social commentary. 'Don't Cry No Tears,' performed live with his band Crazy Horse, encapsulates that emotional honesty and timeless quality that fans adore. It's interesting to note that this performance was part of a benefit concert aimed at supporting family farmers, which resonates with Young's long-standing commitment to environmental issues and agriculture. That blend of activism and artistry has defined much of his career, making this performance not just a musical endeavor but a heartfelt statement for the cause.
