After The Gold Rush by Neil Young...Episode #3

from Classic Rock Album Olympics · host Evergreen Podcasts

This week on Classic Rock Album Olympics we dust off a cornerstone of classic rock: Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush (1970). Blending folk, country, and a whisper of psychedelic surrealism, the album captures Young at his most introspective and influential. The album peaked at #8 on Billboard. Two singles were released from the album: “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” peaked at #33 and “When You Dance I Can Really Love” peaked at #93. Take a listen and see which songs music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez awarded their gold, silver and bronze medals.
