Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps

Long Player with Steven Rainey

Available for 13 days

Neil Young is nothing if not unpredictable, but his late 70s masterpiece Rust Never Sleeps saw the former hippie troubadour striking a chord with the punk generation, his fuzzed out guitar explorations marking him out from his peers. In this episode of Long Player, we explore how Neil Young captured the attention of a new generation, before the 80s took him on one of music's strangest journeys, ending up hailed as the Godfather of Grunge.
