Neil Young

Neil Young’s eponymous, and solo debut, album followed the split of his former band, Buffalo Springfield, in 1968. Despite Young’s relatively high-profile following Buffalo Springfield’s top 10 anti-war single “For What It’s Worth”, the album never broke into the Billboard 200.

At release, Rolling Stone described the album as “in many ways, a delightful reprise of that Springfield sound done a new way” in a generally favorable review.

In a 2013 career retrospective, Stereogum placed Neil Young as the 16th best Neil Young album characterizing it as “an overproduced, too-many-chefs type album that nevertheless contains magic in abundance”.
