Further Listening:
For new Neil Young converts, the best way to get a quick start into his vast back catalogue would be through the compilation Decade which covers the first ten years of his career and picks out most of the essential recordings amongst its 35 track selection. The live album Weld is also a good starting point, a strong selection of material perfomed by a band on top form and captured in excellent sound quality.
