{"product_id":"after-the-goldrush","title":"After The Goldrush","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 15 months between the release of \u003ci\u003eEverybody Knows This Is Nowhere\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAfter the Gold Rush\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u0026amp; 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 emphasised those roots. But \"Ohio,\" a CSNY single, rocked as hard as anything on the second album. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter the Gold Rush\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eAfter the Gold Rush\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reprise","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50424124244299,"sku":"339910","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/After_the_Gold_Rush_664bcd93_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726773835","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/after-the-goldrush","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
