The Best of IRRMS - Neil Young: This Note's For You (Part 1)

In a rebroadcast of an earlier show, first aired on March 29, 2009, we look at the music of Neil Young, focusing on his solo albums from the first decade of his recording career up to the 1979 Rust Never Sleeps album.

Host J Hoskins and his special guest, Christopher Rutty, provide some personal perspectives on Neil's life and how it was reflected through his music during this dynamic period. Of particular interest are the lesser known, but perhaps the most powerful, songs from these albums.


Part 2 (Side A) of this special show, focusing on the 1980s, is available here.
