Young's real strengths are his tunes (composing) and his lyrics. Like Dylan and Nelson fans, you have to make concessions for his singing voice; although he can carry a tune better than Dylan (or Johnny Cash)*.
*listen at around 2:42; cringeworthy

I like Neil's music. IMO, easier to listen to than some of the other names listed above.
Was this during his heroin days? Looks to be in the early seventies. Anyone know?
Info with the clip says recorded Feb. 1971.
