Neil Young

In 2014, Neil Young was riding a wave of creativity with his iconic band Crazy Horse, having recently released the album 'Americana' in 2012, which marked a return to the roots of folk and rock for Young. Just two years before the live recording of 'Cortez the Killer' in Copenhagen, he had a spotlight on classic tunes while exploring Americana themes. This performance, recorded at the Forum in Denmark, showcases Young's enduring relevance and connection to his audience, capturing that live energy that only he can deliver. Fun fact: 'Cortez the Killer' is from his 1975 album 'Zuma', and it delves deeply into complex themes, reflecting Young's signature storytelling and emotive guitar work, which resonates with fans old and new. 2014 was a pivotal time for him, continuing to blend personal narratives with broader cultural reflections.
