Look out man, your whole world will change soon... Neil leads to others you have no idea about yet.

I discovered him at 25 years old, probably roughly your age atm-- from there I found a lot of others..

Neil Young is definitely one of my favorite artists. At least a few good things can come from the internet.

But.. hey, have any reccommendations from your own country of things we might not know???

Isn't Neil Young Canadian? Definitely give Nick Drake a try, from the UK side, if you've not come across him yet.

They were mad at him for what he wrote about the south. See the lyrics of Neil's song Southern Man.

Talking about songwriters, I'm surprised no-one has mentionned Leonard Cohen.
His lyrics are just so...

Good call. Nick Cave is also good, and Tom Waits.

The OP mentioned being from a non-English speaking area. Nothing in my post infers I thought Neil Young was born in the US. We here do tend to hear a good deal from the UK, Canada, etc. .. but not other countries.

If you want to hear about songs originally written in French, you might want to listen to Bowie's covers of Jaques Brel's "Ma Mort" (My Death) and "Amsterdam".

I listened to Neil Young in Highschool. He was my morning coffee and a cig music before heading out.

The thing that makes neil so great is that he never bowed to the system, be it corporate or government.

His music is always evolving. He is an artist not afraid to take risk. You wont find that in music these days.

Technically he's Canadian. But he's lived in the U.S. since 1966, some three-quarters of his life, does 90% of his recording in the U.S., owns land in California and somewhere in the Midwest as well, so at this point keeping his Canadian passport is just a conversation piece.

I agree that the lyrics to Southern Man are a bit uhh... generalizing. Don't get me wrong I love the song, but he presents a pretty simplified, and vilifying view of Southern life.

Ohio not so much so. since it's a protest song and referring to a specific event.

Thanks. I am interesting in world music, in general.. but its hard to access it from the US. That is, I don't have the time to wade through the thousands of possibilities to find a few I might like.

Another great album from the "Harvest" era is "Comes a Time"... I just bought "Psychodelic" /Neil Young & Crazy Horse and on the first listen was a bit disappointed. It will likely grow on me in time as I haven't had the chance to give the double cd a good listen, if you like his drawn out long jams this new release is probably for you. I also like his "Hawks & Doves" and "Everybody's Rockin' albums.

In a similar time to early Neil Young is my two favorite Grateful Dead albums,
American Beauty and Workingman's Dead.

Arlo Guthrie is always a good show worth going out of the way to attend. Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits are both in leagues of their own.

fyi... if you like listening to a broad range of music
there's a broad spectrum of sounds here.

Those 2 Dead albums, in my opinion are their best studio albums, but everyone knows they were a live band, not a studio band.

Ovo did you ever get to see them when Jerry was alive?
