Neil Young

Neil Young (album)

Neil's debut solo studio album, recorded August–October 1968 and released  12 November 1968 or 22 January  1969

Hughesy's assessment: In retrospect, there are signs of things to come, but  the grab bag of styles doesn't hint at what lies just around the corner. At this point, Neil was, I suspect, "that ex-Buffalo Springfield dude" with come interesting ideas but still to find his niche. Or rather (as it turned out) develop his niches. Significant.
