A man and his guitar. Spare, meaningful lyrics and simple melodies.
I've always thought Neil Young was at his best as a minimalist. Sure, he was an important part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and he rocked it with Crazy Horse. But he's always played with passion and excelled as a songwriter, as epitomized by his classic, "Old Man.".
Wish I could have found "Here For You" from the concert film "Heart of Gold" but I'll settle for "Four Strong Winds" -- a song by fellow Canadian Ian Tyson that he said he played all summer long as a teenager. Love the sense of community among all those on stage
Other classics:
"Harvest Moon"
"Heart of Gold"
"The Needle and The Damage Done"
