Neil Young

At the time of the live recording of "Country Home" with Crazy Horse at Farm Aid on September 18, 1994, Neil Young had recently released the album "Sleeps with Angels" in 1994. This record showcased Young's continued evolution as an artist, incorporating both rock and acoustic elements, and was noted for its themes of loss and societal concerns. The Farm Aid concert itself was particularly meaningful, as Young was one of the co-founders of the initiative alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, aimed at supporting American farmers facing economic hardships. During this period in his career, Young was not only nurturing his musical creativity but also engaging actively in social issues, a hallmark of his work throughout his career. The performance at Farm Aid underscored his commitment to these causes and highlighted his attachment to roots music and activism.
