Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young and Crazy Horse


Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young and Crazy Horse
350/500
In 1978, Young went on tour with a batch of songs his audience had never heard and got two albums out it — Rust Never Sleeps and the double LP Live Rust. Both are essential Young, full of impossibly delicate acoustic songs and ragged Crazy Horse rampages. Highlights: "My My Hey Hey" (a tribute to Johnny Rotten), a surreal political spiel called "Welfare Mothers" ("make better lovers") and "Powderfinger," where Young's guitar hits the sky like never before.
