The album continues its collage of styles, from the wistfulness of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" to song fragments like "Til the Morning Comes" to the transformation of Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me" from canter to ballad. But the crowning achievements are the album's magnificent title track, a vividly drawn portrait of post-'60s melancholy, and the gorgeous, aching "Birds," a swan song heralding emotional departure. Both songs are graced by Nils Lofgren's delicate piano, and stand as two of Young's finest compositions. In a catalogue filled with rock classics, AFTER THE GOLDRUSH still ranks among the best.

AFTER THE GOLDRUSH mixes up the hard rock of EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE and the folk and country leanings Young pursued with Crosby, Stills And Nash in one of his most eclectic and satisfying releases. The acoustic picking on the opener, "Tell Me Why," frames Young's vulnerable warble beautifully, signaling the softer aspect of the album. But the electric crunch of "Southern Man," a raging tour de force protest song that captures the special chemistry between Young and backing group Crazy Horse, balances Young's sensitivity with aggression and amplification.

Personnel: Neil Young (vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano, vibraphone); Danny Whitten (guitar, background vocals); Nils Lofgren (piano, background vocals); Jack Nitzsche (piano); Greg Reeves, Billy Talbot (bass instrument); Ralph Molina (drums, background vocals); Stephen Stills (background vocals).

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.114) - Ranked #71 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...An album of heartbreaking ballads....The music is gentle..."
Spin (p.101) - "His most plaintively pretty and mournfully pissed-off folk album."
Q (4/02, p.141) - "...Subdued, intimate, largely acoustic: the sound of the post-'60s comedown pressed into vinyl. Packed with fine songs..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.150) - "...With the singular exception of 'Southern Man', the songs here sound gentler but are still about confusion and disillusion..."
NME (Magazine) (9/18/93, p.19) - Ranked #19 among The Greatest Albums Of The '70s.
NME (Magazine) (10/2/93, p.29) - Ranked #66 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of All Time.'

5 stars Very good album
this cd includes the track "don't let it bring you down" which is among my best favourites of Young. I recommend it although it's only a part of this artist music story.

This is a classic. I think it's his best work. I haven't played the whole thing in years but I still remember all the words. Good stuff.

5 stars Neil Young's excellent album recording of all-time!
After The Goldrush which is Neil Young's third release from 1970 now on CD has a few of my favorite folk ballad rock classic songs like "Southern Man", "Oh Lonesome Me", "I Believe In You" to the album's self titled debut track on here as well. I think that Neil Young is compared to America's folk singer Bob Dylan they had pretty good songwritings together. But only Dylan born in Duluth, Minnesota and raised in a small town of Hibbing. Started out recording making folk music to southern-country rock ballads in 1962 when Columbia records released his self titled name album debut it was at lease a moderate success. Young started out in Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills. And in 1968 where Neil Young first released his self titled name album debut it was a commercial failure and not a big success at all. So what I think of Neil Young he's Canada's answer to Bob Dylan because I betcha they were both born in the late forties themselves probably or maybe not who knows?

After The Gold Rush
CD $14.29  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Crosby, Still, and Nash topped their enormously popular self-titled 1969 debut by adding Neil Young to their ranks and expanding their stylistic and sonic range. The result, released in 1970, was an artistic and commercial success, representing the talents of the four primary players to excellent effect. More ambitious and incisive than its CSN predecessor, DEJA VU brings together folk, psychedelia, jazz, African, and Middle Eastern flavors, Tin Pan Alley, and hard rock in a manner ...

CD $9.25  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Let's get a popular misconception out of the way. The rap about this being one of Young's darkest, most harrowing albums is utter nonsense, perpetuated by critics who spend more time reading each other than listening to the music. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT is dedicated to Young's guitarist Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry, who died shortly before this recording was made, and the title cut details that very subject, but the darker moments here are leavened by a generous share of self-parodic ...

Neil Young Comes A Time CD  (1978)

After The Gold Rush
CD $9.15  4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
With steel guitars, fiddles and lots of acoustic guitars, this low-key folk-rock album harks back to Young's great AFTER THE GOLD RUSH-HARVEST period, and if it doesn't measure up that's only because of the ridiculously high standards the earlier albums set. Taken by itself, COMES A TIME is a fine collection, anchored by the timeless wonderment of the title song; a cover of Ian & Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds," and the nearly indescribable "Look Out For My Love," which is either a love song, a threat or both. COMES A TIME also features "Lotta Love," which was released simultaneously by Nicolette Larson and was a major hit for her. Larson doesn't sing on Young's ...
