Neil Young

By 2012, Neil Young was riding a wave of resurgence, with his established band Crazy Horse backing him up. Just before the live recording at the Farm Aid concert, Neil released the album 'Americana' in June 2012, a collection that revitalizes classic American folk songs in his signature style. Performing 'Mr. Soul,' a track first featured on his 1969 album 'Neil Young,' at this event showcases his dedication to both the music legacy and social causes, like agriculture sustainability. Fun fact: Young's involvement in Farm Aid began in 1985, reflecting his commitment to family farming and grassroots activism. The energy of the crowd and the depth of his message are palpable in this performance, blending nostalgia with a sense of urgency that resonates with fans old and new.
