About this episode

Alex and Jordan are taking on the gold standard of the '70s singer-songwriter era. You’ll find out how Neil's busted back impacted the sound of the record, which ‘70s icons had secret singing cameos, and how Neil crushed his father’s spirit by divulging the true meaning of the track “Old Man.” They'll also explain how some of the songs created a bit of tension with Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the London Symphony Orchestra. And, of course, they'll explore the true love story at the heart of this record: Neil Young and his barn.
