Neil Young

In 2016, Neil Young's artistry was very much alive, especially with his collaboration with the band Promise of the Real. Just before this live performance at Farm Aid, he released the album 'Peace Trail,' noted for its introspective lyrics and acoustic sound, reflecting Young’s ever-evolving style. It's fascinating how even after decades in the industry, he continues to draw deep from personal and societal wells, capturing the audience's heart as he has since the ’60s. This particular performance of 'Powderfinger' not only showcases his timeless songwriting but also highlights his commitment to activism, a theme that resonates strongly at events like Farm Aid, aimed at supporting family farmers. Young's voice, both literally and metaphorically, remains a powerful catalyst for change.
