A regular on greatest album lists, 'After The Gold Rush' saw Neil build on his success with Crosby, Stills and Nash and record an album that still resonates with listeners over 50 years on.
How was 'After The Gold Rush' inspired by a Dean Stockwell screenplay of the same name?
Why did Lynyrd Skynyrd reference Neil Young and 'Southern Man' in their iconic 'Sweet Home Alabama'?
Who did Neil write the classic 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' for?
