All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.

Released right after the career albums TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS, this country-rocky 1977 album is often forgotten. But it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky favorites as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," which is exactly what it says it is. As Neil Young's legendary 1970s albums go, it might be a bit of a tossed-off affair, but most country-rockers can only dream of making one album this good.

2003 remastered reissue of 1977 album. This roots 'n' rock album features guests, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt, & the fan favorite 'Like A Hurricane'. The album initially peaked at #21 & achieved gold status. Nine tracks. Reprise.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Spin (12/03, p.125) - "...It's got 'Like a Hurricane,' one of rock's great guitar-wank epics..."
Q (4/02, p.142) - "...Weirdly sex-obsessed country tracks, taped at rehearsals without telling fellow vocalist Linda Ronstadt..."
Musician (5/94, p.68) - "...AMERICAN STARS 'N' BARS (1977) found Young and Crazy Horse cranking out their most primitive garage rock with a honky-tonk edge..."

4 stars One of Neil's best
I bought this album originally on vinyl when it was first released and then lost it in a divorce. I always wanted it back and when it was finally released on cd, I bought it. I bought it the first time because I had heard "Like a Hurricane" and loved it, but the second time around I needed to hear "Hold Back the Tears" and "Hey Babe" again, because you're never going to hear them on an oldies station or FM radio. Some of Neil's best country rock.

5 stars Finally on CD
I've been wanting to get this disc on cd for so long. Always one of my top 5 Neil Young discs. Great melodies, rockabilly guitar licks and fun songs. It was vintage Neil in a happier time. If you haven't heard it, it's definitely worth a listen.

3 stars Neil's "Will to love" is one for the ages
The direction of this album is a little hodge podge. It has a country feel with "Bite the Bullet" "Saddle up the Palomino" and "Homegrown". It also has a classic electic song "Like a Hurricane". This album should be bought on the strenth of one song "Will to Love". It is so powerful and romantic that it will floor you.

4 stars Another Seventies Holdout Makes it to CD
Quirky, country-ish. Singularly iconoclastic for its time AS&B is a patchwork of Neil's mid-seventies hubrus. Known for including "Like A Hurricane", AS&B has much more to offer. "Hold Back The Tears", "Saddle Up The Palamino", and "Hey Babe" reflect the out there seventies ethos. Sounds much better on CD than vinyl.
