Neil Young

In the live recording of Neil Young's 'Ohio' from November 30, 2009, at Miller Park in Milwaukee, the iconic singer-songwriter was coming off the release of his album "Fork in the Road," which featured a strong thematic focus on the automotive industry and personal reflections. This album was released just a few months earlier in April 2009, and it marked Young's return to politically charged lyrics, echoing sentiments reminiscent of his classic eras. Notably, this period also saw Young re-embracing his roots in rock and folk music while exploring contemporary issues. It's incredible how he continues to resonate with audiences, creating a bridge between his past and present. The song 'Ohio,' originally a protest anthem regarding the Kent State shootings, exemplifies his timeless commitment to social commentary, making this live performance particularly impactful.
