In the 15 months between the release of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Gold Rush, Neil Young issued a series of recordings in different styles that could have prepared his listeners for the differences between the two LPs. His two compositions on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album Déjà Vu, "Helpless" and "Country Girl," returned him to the folk and country styles he had pursued before delving into the hard rock of Everybody Knows; two other singles, "Sugar Mountain" and "Oh, Lonesome Me," also emphasized those roots. But "Ohio," a CSNY single, rocked as hard as anything on the second album. After the Gold Rush was recorded with the aid of Nils Lofgren, a 17-year-old unknown whose piano was a major instrument, turning one of the few real rockers, "Southern Man" (which had unsparing protest lyrics typical of Phil Ochs), into a more stately effort than anything on the previous album and giving a classic tone to the title track, a mystical ballad that featured some of Young's most imaginative lyrics and became one of his most memorable songs. But much of After the Gold Rush consisted of country-folk love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young's major achievements.

A NOTE ON SIMPLY VINYL LABEL: Simply Vinyl was formed in 1997. The aim of the company was to reissue a broad range of classic albums on 180 gram virgin vinyl with 350 gram thick and durable card sleeves. All Simply Vinyl releases would endeavor to reproduce the original analogue sound whenever possible and the original album artwork as closely as possible to the original release. The company places the finished LP into a heavy-duty PVC wallet which is sealed with a customised Simply Vinyl reflective seal. In September 1997, Simply Vinyl released its first 25 albums which were selected from the Warner Music, Sony Music and Rykodisc catalogues. In March 1998, the company diversified into re-releasing some classic contemporary film soundtracks. Simply Vinyl has been relaunched and revitalised under new ownership in 2010. Please note that counterfeit / unofficial releases that pretend to be issued under this label do exist and can be found on ►this page.  Because Simply Vinyl issued exact 1:1 copies of the original covers/labels, you will often find the Simply Vinyl catalog only in the runout.
