Neil Young

In September 2017, Neil Young performed 'Human Highway' live at Farm Aid alongside his band, Promise of the Real, capturing a vibrant moment in his storied career. Just prior to this performance, in June of that same year, he released his album 'Hitchhiker,' a collection of previously unreleased tracks that showcased his introspective songwriting from across the decades. This album highlights Young's legendary ability to blend personal narratives with broader social themes, a hallmark of his work. 'Human Highway,' originally from his 1979 album 'American Stars 'n Bars,' resonates even stronger in the context of Farm Aid, an event Young co-founded to support struggling farmers. The passion in his performance embodies both nostalgia and a drive for social change, proving that even now, he remains an influential voice in music and activism.
