Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1945 – present)
Neil Young was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on November 12, 1945. He is a singer-songwriter with a long and extensive musical career. He has become one of the most respected and influential musicians of his generation.
Neil started his professional music career in the mid-1960’s with a number of bands in Canada, notably the Mynah Birds, which also included fellow future Buffalo Springfield bassist Bruce Palmer and future funk star Rick James. When the Mynah Birds broke up, Young and Palmer headed to California to meet Stephen Stills, whom he had met in Thunder Bay, and the result was Buffalo Springfield. That band split up after three albums, and Neil soon started his solo career with the release of Neil Young November 12, 1968. The album did not do very well commercially, but included several strong tracks, including “The Loner”, said to be a portrait of Stephen Stills. On May 14, 1969 he recruited Crazy Horse and made the critically acclaimed Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. This was a much more consistent album, the first to introduce longstanding collaborators Crazy Horse, and built around the balanced interplay between the guitars of Young, and the talented Danny Whitten. The album also featured two lengthy classics, “Down by the River” and “Cowgirl in the Sand”. The critically acclaimed solo album “After the Gold Rush” came out in 1971, featuring such classic songs as “Southern Man’”, “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” and “Don’t Let it Bring You Down”. Harvest followed in 1972 with the hit”Heart of Gold”.

"Dreamin' Man Live '92 revisits Harvest Moon 17 years after its release by pulling together a series of intimate solo acoustic performances Young did at the time. The vinyl pressing will be released on January 12, 2010." being that harvest moon on vinyl is apparently VERY out of print and expensive when you do find it-- this is very exciting news. details: http://collectingvinylrecords.blogspot.com/2009/11/reprise-records-announces-next.html
