1988 - This Note's For You
This Note's for You is an album originally credited to Neil Young and the Bluenotes, released in 1988. Most of the album's concept centered around the commercialism of rock and roll, and tours in particular (the title track is a social commentary on concert sponsorship). The music is marked by the use of a horn section.
The video for the title track famously included a Michael Jackson look-alike whose hair catches fire. The video parodied corporate rock, the pretensions of advertising and Michael Jackson in particular. It was initially banned by MTV (although the Canadian music channel, MuchMusic ran it immediately) before being put into heavy rotation and finally given the MTV Video Music Award for Best Video of the Year for 1989.
Since Harold Melvin, founder of the R&B group Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, took legal action against Young over use of the "Bluenotes" name, the album is now credited as a Neil Young solo recording. The backup band Young used for this album was renamed "Ten Men Workin'" (after the album's lead-off song).
The cover of this album is reportedly a photo taken in the back lane of the 200 block of Main Street Winnipeg, which housed the Blue Note Cafe. Neil was known to play unannounced in the Blue Note Cafe while in Winnipeg.[citation needed]
"Ordinary People", an epic 18 minute outtake described as "Cortez the Killer with horns" , finally saw release in 2007 on Young's Chrome Dreams II.

1989 - Eldorado
Eldorado is an EP released only in Japan and Australia by Neil Young and The Restless, which consisted of Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas.
It contains different mixes of three songs that subsequently appeared on Young's 1989 album Freedom, "Don't Cry," "On Broadway," and "Eldorado," and two tracks not available on any other recording, "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love."
It is claimed that "Eldorado" came about as a direct result of Young's reunion with Crosby, Stills & Nash on 1988's American Dream - the proto-grunge sound of Eldorado an extreme contrast to CSNY's lightweight folk/pop - and that the song "Cocaine Eyes" in particular is a critique of Stephen Stills' condition during the making of that album. The recording of "Cocaine Eyes" is a classic example of Neil Young's lack of interest in production techniques: the track begins with Young's trademark "Old Black" guitar feedbacking away; responding to a protest from his guitar tech, Young replies, "Yeah, but that sounds good, though!" and begins playing the song. The "Don't Cry" track on Eldorado is distinguishable from the version on Freedom as some of the more free-form guitar work was edited out (at the insistence of co-producers Niko Bolas and Frank Sampedro). When Young's archivist Joel Bernstein first played Eldorado for Graham Nash, his response was, to wit, "I absolutely hate this record." Young was reportedly delighted by his reaction.

1. "Cocaine Eyes" – 4:24
2. "Don't Cry" – 5:00
3. "Heavy Love" – 5:09
4. "On Broadway" – 4:57
5. "Eldorado" – 6:03

1989 - Freedom
Freedom is a 1989 album by Neil Young.
Freedom relaunched Neil Young's career, after a mostly unsuccessful decade. After many arguments (and a lawsuit), Young left Geffen Records and returned to his original label, Reprise, in 1988 with This Note's for You. Freedom, however, brought about a new, critical and commercially successful album in the mold of his 1979 classic album, Rust Never Sleeps. Both albums consist of live songs with the audience track mainly removed. Freedom also contains one song, "Rockin' in the Free World", bookending the album in acoustic and electric variants, a stylistic choice previously featured on Rust Never Sleeps. "Rockin' in the Free World" became, despite lyrics critical of the George H. W. Bush administration ("we got a thousand points of light"), the de facto anthem of the collapse of communism (specifically the Fall of the Berlin Wall) due to its repeated chorus of 'Keep on Rockin' in the Free World'.
An edited cut of the electric version of "Rockin' in The Free World" was also used over the final credits of Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, and the song was rereleased as a single at the time of the film's release.
Stylistically the album was one of Young's most diverse records, ranging from acoustic love songs to raging rockers. Three of the songs on Freedom ("Don't Cry," "Eldorado" and "On Broadway") had previously been released on the Japan and Australia-only EP Eldorado, and in a way represented Young's reaction to the Grunge movement, featuring heavy waves of thundering distortion and feedback (often strangely juxtaposed with quieter sections). Two songs featured a brass section, an unusual stylistic departure for Young, but one he had embraced fully on his previous album This Note's For You.

1. "Rockin' in the Free World" (Live Acoustic) – 3:38
2. "Crime in the City (Sixty to Zero Part I)" – 8:45
3. "Don't Cry" – 4:14
4. "Hangin' on a Limb" – 4:18
5. "Eldorado" – 6:03
6. "The Ways of Love" – 4:29
7. "Someday" – 5:40
8. "On Broadway" (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) – 4:57
9. "Wrecking Ball" – 5:08
10. "No More" – 6:03
11. "Too Far Gone" – 2:47
12. "Rockin' in the Free World" (Electric) – 4:41

1990 - Ragged Glory
Ragged Glory is a 1990 album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
The album revisits the hard rock style previously explored on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and Zuma. The first two tracks are songs Young and Crazy Horse originally wrote and performed live in the 1970s with Country Home notably being performed on their 1976 tour. "Farmer John" is a cover of a 60s song, written and performed by R&B duo Don and Dewey and also performed by garage band The Premiers. Young admitted that the song "Days that Used to Be" is inspired on Bob Dylan's "My Back Pages". The album features many extended guitar jams, with two songs stretching out to ten minutes and more.
"F*ckin' Up" is frequently covered by Pearl Jam live.
Toronto based band Constantines recorded a version of Neil's "F*ckin' Up" in Winnipeg,which surfaced at the b-side the their "Our Age" 7"in November 2008.

1. "Country Home" – 7:05
2. "White Line" – 2:57
3. "F*!#in' Up" [3] – 5:54
4. "Over and Over" – 8:28
5. "Love to Burn" – 10:00

1991 - Arc-Weld (2CD)
Weld is a live album and concert video by Neil Young & Crazy Horse released in 1991, comprising performances recorded on the tour to promote the Ragged Glory album. Initially released as a limited edition three-disc set entitled Arc-Weld, with the Arc portion being a single disc consisting in its entirety of a sound collage of guitar noise and feedback, with equally discordant backing by the Horse, undoubtedly influenced by Young's choice of Sonic Youth as his opening act. Arc has since been released as a separate title.
Weld consists of rock and roll songs by Young and Crazy Horse, duplicating seven that had appeared on either Rust Never Sleeps or Live Rust from twelve years earlier. It also echoes those albums as Young, in both cases having spent most of a previous decade pursuing different musical avenues, returned to straightforward rock and roll via the acclaimed Ragged Glory album with Crazy Horse, then celebrating that return with an accompanying multi-disc live document and concert film. An interesting cut on this album is Young's "Gulf War" version of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind", which had air raid sound effects.
Neil Young claims that, while mixing this album, he permanently damaged his hearing.
There was a brief release of the concert featuring video footage on VHS, but there was no DVD release. The VHS tape is now an out-of-print collector's item.

1991 - Arc
Arc is a composition of feedback, guitar noise, and vocal fragments that was realized from various shows on the 1991 Neil Young and Crazy Horse US tour, which was originally released with Weld in a special-edition 3-CD set called Arc-Weld. Arc bears no small resemblance to the music of Sonic Youth, which was one of the support acts on the tour.
According to an interview with Steve Martin of Agnostic Front that appeared in the December 1991 issue of Pulse! magazine, Arc had its genesis in a film that Neil made (that he referred to as Muddy Track in an interview with David Fricke in the November 28, 1991, issue of Rolling Stone), which consisted of beginnings and endings of various songs from a mid-1980s European Tour. Young showed the video to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, a noted figure in New York's avant-garde music scene, who suggested that he record an entire album in a similar manner. Neil placed a video camera on his amplifier during the 1991 tour and recorded the beginnings and endings of various songs that were later edited down into the single track of Arc. "It was the sound of the entire band being sucked into this little limiter, being compressed and f*ckin' distorted to hell," Neil said to Martin.
The band Half Man Half Biscuit mentions the disc in its song "Look, Dad, No Tunes."

1. "Arc" - 35:00

1992 - Harvest Moon
Harvest Moon is a country-rock album by Neil Young, released in 1992. Due to the abundance of musicians appearing on it who also appeared on his 1972 album Harvest, Harvest Moon is considered a pseudo-sequel to that album.
Recovering from tinnitus that had come about after the recording of 1990's Ragged Glory and its subsequent tour (which produced 1991's Weld and Arc), Young was determined to return to the studio. Returning to Nashville and joining up with compatriots like Ben Keith, Young put down the electric guitar, returning to the acoustic guitar, piano and banjo that had dominated albums such as Harvest, Comes a Time and Old Ways.
Among the track highlights are the title track, featuring the percussive sweeping of a broom, a song for which Young made a rare music video. An ode to his dog, Elvis, on "Old King" found Young plucking a banjo, while he loved, found and lost throughout songs such as "From Hank to Hendrix" and "Such a Woman".
The album earned the 1994 Juno Award for album of the year.

1. "Unknown Legend" – 4:32
2. "From Hank to Hendrix" – 5:12
3. "You and Me" – 3:45

1993 - Unplugged (Live Album)
Unplugged is a 1993 live album by Neil Young. It contains a previously unreleased song "Stringman", that dates from 1976. The taping of the show was also released on VHS.
The recording of this installment of the MTV series "Unplugged" was rife with tension, as Young was not happy with the performances of almost everyone in the band. In fact, the released version is actually the second attempt made at recording a set suitable for airing and release.

1. "The Old Laughing Lady" – 5:15
2. "Mr. Soul" – 3:54

1994 - Sleeps With Angels
Sleeps With Angels is a 1994 album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse released on the Warner Bros. Records/Reprise label.
The album was conceived as a conscious attempt to recapture some of the atmospheric experiments Young and Crazy Horse played around with in the After the Gold Rush era. Though the majority of the album was recorded before the fact, Young created the title track after the death of Kurt Cobain, who referenced him in his suicide note. As a result, Sleeps With Angels ended up more than reminiscent of Tonight's the Night; the album is practically a (more sober) 1990s update of the former record, down to the use of the old-school black Reprise label found on original vinyl pressings of Tonight's the Night and the US cd version of Sleeps With Angels. The tone of the album is dark and brooding, the one exception being the punk-influenced "Piece Of Crap". Two songs ("Western Hero" and "Train Of Love") feature the same music with differing lyrics.

1. "My Heart" – 2:44
2. "Prime of Life" – 4:02
3. "Driveby" – 4:43
4. "Sleeps With Angels" – 2:44
5. "Western Hero" – 4:00
6. "Change Your Mind" – 14:39
7. "Blue Eden" (Molina/Sampedro/Talbot/Young) – 6:22
8. "Safeway Cart" – 6:29
9. "Train of Love" – 3:57
10. "Trans Am" – 4:07
11. "Piece of Crap" – 3:15
12. "A Dream That Can Last" – 5:27

1996 - Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow is a 1996 album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse. The first three songs are in the form of long, structured jams, evoking the style of previous Crazy Horse collaborations Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Zuma and Ragged Glory. The final track is a live take of a Jimmy Reed song that was recorded on a small audience microphone at a small "secret" gig in California, giving it a bootleg feel. A bonus track, "Interstate," was included on the vinyl record release of the album and the CD single of "Big Time", and is an outtake from the 1990 Ragged Glory sessions. This record would be the last studio album by Neil Young for four years, and the last in a long string of rock albums broken only by Harvest Moon.
Note that the song titled "Broken Arrow" by Buffalo Springfield of whom Neil Young was a member is not on this album.

1. "Big Time" – 7:24
2. "Loose Change" – 9:10
3. "Slip Away" – 8:36
4. "Changing Highways" – 2:28

1996 - Dead Man (Soundtrack)
Dead Man is the soundtrack to the 1995 Jim Jarmusch western-themed film of the same name starring Gary Farmer and Johnny Depp as William Blake. Neil Young recorded the soundtrack by improvising (mostly on his electric guitar, with some acoustic guitar, piano and organ) as he watched the newly edited film alone in a recording studio. The soundtrack album consists of seven instrumental tracks by Young, with dialog excerpts from the film and Johnny Depp reading the poetry of William Blake interspersed between the music. The version of the main theme used over the film's beginning and end credits is not included, but was released as a promo single.

1. "Guitar Solo, No. 1" – 5:17
2. "The Round Stones Beneath the Earth..." – 3:31
3. "Guitar Solo, No. 2" – 2:03
4. "Why Does Thou Hide Thyself, Clouds..." – 2:24 (The name of the track and the track itself contain a version of a part of William Blake's poem "To Nobodaddy")
5. "Organ Solo" – 1:33
6. "Do You Know How to Use This Weapon?" – 4:24 (Contains a reading of part of "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"[1])

1997 - Year of the Horse (2CD - Live Album)
Year of the Horse is also a live album by Neil Young & Crazy Horse, released in 1997. It offers a different track list than the film.
This live album, in many ways could be seen as an epitaph for longtime Neil Young producer David Briggs, who died in 1995 from lung cancer. This is reflected by the song choices which,(outside of recent album cuts like "Scattered" and "Big Time") were among Brigg's favorites.

Disc one
1. "When You Dance" – 6:20
2. "Barstool Blues" – 9:02
3. "When Your Lonely Heart Breaks" – 5:04
4. "Mr. Soul" – 5:05
5. "Big Time" – 7:28
6. "Pocahontas" – 4:50
7. "Human Highway" – 4:07

Disc two
1. "Slip Away" – 10:52
2. "Scattered" – 4:00
3. "Danger Bird" – 13:34

2000 - Silver & Gold
Silver & Gold is an album by Neil Young, released in 2000. Many of these songs were written as far back as 1976 (there is a bootleg of a Neil Young/Crazy Horse performance from 1976 which features "Razor Love"; for the Freedom sessions in 1988-89, Young attempted to record the song "Silver & Gold", which by his own estimation, he had been trying to get "the take" for around ten years at that point.)
Musically, the album is a return to the previous country/roots tinged material of earlier records like "Harvest" and "Comes A Time"; however, the lyrics suggest an artist becoming more in touch with his familial leanings, growing older, and becoming more complete as a person. Young looks back over his life and career with a warm, nostalgic view, even going so far as to state that he wouldn't mind a Buffalo Springfield reunion - "Like to see those guys again/And give it a shot" he sings wistfully in the song "Buffalo Springfield Again." The tone of the album is quiet and peaceful.
The photograph on the album cover was taken with a Game Boy Camera.

1. "Good to See You" – 2:49
2. "Silver & Gold" – 3:16
3. "Daddy Went Walkin'" – 4:01
4. "Buffalo Springfield Again" – 3:23
5. "The Great Divide" – 4:34
6. "Horseshoe Man" – 4:00
7. "Red Sun" – 2:48
8. "Distant Camera" – 4:07
9. "Razor Love" – 6:31
10. "Without Rings" – 3:41

2000 - Road Rock Vol. 1
Road Rock Vol. 1: Friends & Relatives is a 2000 live album by Neil Young recorded on September 19 and 20, 2000 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside of Denver. The "friends and relatives" include Ben Keith, Chrissie Hynde, Duck Dunn, Young's wife, Pegi, and his sister, Astrid. The album features an unreleased song, "Fool For Your Love", which dates from Young's This Note's for You period and a Bob Dylan cover, "All Along the Watchtower."

2002 - Are You Passionate
Are You Passionate? is a 2002 album by Neil Young and Booker T & the MGs. It represents Young's foray into soul music, not sounding like anything he had previously released. Exceptions are the epic rocker "Goin' Home", recorded with Crazy Horse, and the brooding "Let's Roll", a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The album ends with "She's A Healer", an extended jam considered by many to be the highlight.

1. "You're My Girl" – 4:41
2. "Mr. Disappointment" – 5:26
3. "Differently" – 6:04
4. "(Quit) Don't Say You Love Me" – 6:02
5. "Let's Roll" – 5:54
6. "Are You Passionate?" – 5:08
7. "Goin' Home" – 8:49

2003 - Greendale
Greendale is the name of an album and a movie, both released in 2003, by Neil Young. Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Greendale, a 10-song rock opera, is set in a fictional California seaside town. Based on the saga of the Green family, the "audio novel" has been compared to the literary classics of Thornton Wilder's Our Town and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio for its complexity and emotional depth in exploring a small town in America.
Greendale combines numerous themes on corruption, environmentalism and mass media consolidation into relevant post-9/11 art. The album, concert, film and DVDs have produced a vast divergence of critical opinion ranging from being called "amateur" to being voted as one of the best albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone magazine music critics.
The CD was originally released with a DVD of live "Neil-only" acoustic performance of the Greendale material from Ireland. In 2004, the CD was released with a new DVD containing a live performance of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. A DVD-Audio version was also released, with both Advanced Resolution Stereo and 5.1 Surround sound mixes, and a video of "Devil's Sidewalk" from the film. In late 2004, the feature length DVD with actors lip-synching the material was released.
In 2007, Vertigo Comics announced the production of the comic book adaptation of the album with the same title.[1] According to writer Joshua Dysart, Neil Young is directly involved in the project.[2]
Greendale's blues sound reflects the influence of bluesman Jimmy Reed and his driving electric blues and folk melodies.

2005 - Prairie Wind
Prairie Wind is a Neil Young album released in 2005. After recent dalliances with 60s soul music (Are You Passionate?) and rock opera (Greendale, which spawned a Young-directed film of the same name), Prairie Wind featured an acoustic-based sound reminiscent of his earlier commercially successful albums Harvest and Harvest Moon. The album was in part inspired by the illness and recent death of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, and the album is dedicated in part to the elder Young.
Young recorded the album in Nashville before undergoing minimally invasive surgery for an aneurysm in the spring of 2005, and some of the songs on the album appear to be informed by Young confronting his own mortality.
A premiere live performance of Prairie Wind was held in 18-19 August 2005 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Here, Young held a two-night concert where songs from the album were performed. These concerts became the subject of a film directed by Jonathan Demme entitled Heart of Gold.
Young debuted the album's closing track, "When God Made Me", at the Live 8 concert in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart at number 11, on October 15, 2005, with sales of approximately 72,000 copies. It remained on the chart for 27 weeks. It was awarded a certified gold record by the RIAA on January 23, 2006.
This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.

1. "The Painter" – 4:36
2. "No Wonder" – 5:45
3. "Falling Off the Face of the Earth" – 3:35
4. "Far From Home" – 3:47
5. "It's a Dream" – 6:31
6. "Prairie Wind" – 7:34
7. "Here for You" – 4:32
8. "This Old Guitar" – 5:32

2006 - Living With War
Living with War is a 2006 Grammy and Juno Award-nominated studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young. The album's lyrics, titles, and conceptual style are highly critical of the policies of the George W. Bush administration; the CTV website defined it as "a musical critique of U.S. President George W. Bush and his conduct of the war in Iraq". Written and recorded over the course of only nine days in March and April 2006, its lyrics are in line with the early 1960s albums of folk artists such as Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan, though it is set to what Young calls "metal folk protest music" courtesy of Young, bassist Rick Rosas, drummer Chad Cromwell and trumpet player Tommy Bray.
The Cromwell and Rosas rhythm section and "Volume Dealer" co-producer, Niko Bolas, were also at the core of Young's 1989 album Freedom, itself largely an angry criticism of Reagan-George H.W. Bush America. There are other links - Bray also performed on Freedom and Freedom's hit single "Rockin' in the Free World" also contained a quote of a President Bush: "a thousand points of light".

1. "After the Garden" – 3:23
2. "Living with War" – 5:04
3. "The Restless Consumer" – 5:47
4. "Shock and Awe" – 4:53
5. "Families" – 2:25
6. "Flags of Freedom" – 3:42
7. "Let's Impeach the President" – 5:10
8. "Lookin' for a Leader" – 4:03
9. "Roger and Out" – 4:25
10. "America the Beautiful" – 2:57

2006 - Live at the Fillmore East
Live at the Fillmore East is a live album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse with guitarist Danny Whitten. In February and March 1970, Young and Crazy Horse went on tour to support Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Live at the Fillmore East, released in 2006, features performances from the tour. The tour would be the last Neil Young and Crazy Horse tour to feature guitarist Danny Whitten.
Young played four shows at the venue Fillmore East on March 6 and 7, each show consisting of a solo acoustic set and a set with Crazy Horse. This release contains each song performed during the electric set, minus "Cinnamon Girl". It was released on CD and DVD. The DVD features pictures from the show, pictures of the original handwritten lyrics and reviews from the era, as well as improved sound (24bit/96kHz PCM audio) over the CD release.
The album is the first live release featuring Danny Whitten, who died in 1972. It also features Jack Nitzsche as an official member of the band, as indicated by Young in the band introductions; this four-man line-up of Crazy Horse backing Young for a short American tour in February and March 1970. A performance of Whitten's "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" from the same shows was previously released on Young's 1975 album Tonight's the Night, which explores Young's grief at the loss of friends to drugs. A studio version of this song appears on the album Crazy Horse. While the song is credited to Young and Whitten both on that album and on Tonight's the Night, here "Downtown" is credited to Whitten alone.
The release features two other songs from the era that wouldn't see the light of day until years after the concert. "Winterlong" was first released on the 1977 compilation Decade and "Wonderin'" would feature on the 1983 rockabilly album Everybody's Rockin', complete with doo-wop backing vocals.
It is the first release related to the Archives series, but labeled the second. (However, two earlier concerts have since been announced, Sugar Mountain - Live At Canterbury House 1968 which was released on November 25, 2008 and The Riverboat, from a 1969 Young residency at the Toronto coffee house of the same name, which has yet to be released.)
The release is a departure of format from what fans had expected. In previous interviews, Young had expressed interest in releasing a series of multi-disc box sets of unreleased material and performances, long referred to as the "Archives". Later, another installment, Live at Massey Hall 1971 was released and fared better on the charts. The release date of the first of the box sets Young discussed, The Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972, was announced in March 2007 for release in September or October of that year. Soon after those months passed without the box set, a new release date was announced - February 2008 - which also passed without further Archive releases.
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart at number 55 on December 2, 2006, with sales of 20,000 copies. It spent three weeks on the chart.
There is also a 200-gram vinyl LP pressing by Classic Records. Though originally planned to include a bonus performance of "Cinnamon Girl" as a bonus track, the final product has the same track listing as the CD and DVD.
The support act for these performance was Miles Davis performing with an electric sextet. Davis' performance has also been released as a live album.

1. "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" – 3:36
2. "Winterlong" – 3:40
3. "Down by the River" – 12:24
4. "Wonderin'" – 3:35
5. "Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown" (Danny Whitten/Neil Young) – 3:51
6. "Cowgirl in the Sand" – 16:09

2009 - Fork in the Road
Sleeps With Angels is a 1994 album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse released on the Warner Bros. Records/Reprise label.
Fork in the Road is an album by Neil Young, released April 7, 2009, on Reprise Records.
The album was inspired by Young's Lincoln Continental that had been retooled to run entirely on alternative energy, and Young's background with the Lincvolt project he has been working on alongside mechanic Jonathan Goodwin. The project has been to develop a viable electric energy power system for automobiles. Young's own 1959 Lincoln Continental will serve as their completed prototype.
A documentary produced by Larry Johnson will follow this electric car in its first long-distance trip to Washington, DC.
