🇺🇸 Biography (English)
Neil Young, the artist’s self-titled debut solo album, was released in 1968 following his departure from Buffalo Springfield. It lays the groundwork for what would become a long and diverse career, featuring a mix of folk, rock, and lush orchestral arrangements. Though often overlooked, the album contains standout tracks such as “The Loner” and “The Old Laughing Lady,” highlighting Young’s introspective songwriting and distinctive voice.
On his songs for Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young had demonstrated an eclecticism that ranged from the rock of "Mr. Soul" to the complicated, multi-part arrangement of 'Broken Arrow'. On his debut solo album, he continued to work with composer/arranger Jack Nitzsche, with whom he had made 'Expecting to Fly' on the Buffalo Springfield Again album, and together the two recorded a restrained effort on which the folk-rock instrumentation, most of which was by Young, overdubbing himself, was augmented by discreet string parts.
