Neil Young
Neil Young - Cover of Blowin' in the Wind Live at Farm Aid Concert
In 2013, Neil Young delivered a poignant performance of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" at the Farm Aid concert in Saratoga Springs, NY. This live recording came just after the release of his album "Americana" in 2012, a project that reinterpreted classic American folk songs and marked a return to his roots. Young's collaboration with Crazy Horse on this album rejuvenated his sound and showcased his ongoing commitment to social and environmental issues, themes he consistently explores in his work. Interestingly, Farm Aid itself—co-founded by Young—aims to support family farmers in the U.S., tying Young's musical efforts to his activism. His soulful rendition of this timeless protest song not only highlights his legendary status but also his enduring passion for advocating change through music.
