About this album

Rust Never Sleeps is one of Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s most important albums, sharply dividing its first side’s acoustic introspection from the second side’s blistering electric attack. Released in 1979, it captures Young at a turning point where folk-rooted songwriting and ferocious guitar feedback coexist in uneasy balance. Songs such as My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Powderfinger and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) became core Neil Young statements, crystallising his restless view of rock’s past and future. Widely regarded as a landmark of late-70s rock, the album helped define Young’s enduring reputation for refusing to stand still.

Genre: Pop & Rock
