Neil Young

About

The artist

Neil Young is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist based in the Lakefield area of Ontario. The Recording Academy identifies him as Neil Percival Young, born in Toronto, and traces his recording career through Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and his solo work. Billboard Canada reported in April 2025 that Young maintains a residence in the Peterborough and Lakefield region, where he spent part of his childhood and returned for a local benefit performance. That current independent report confirms Canada as the country, Ontario as the province, and Lakefield as the public city without relying on an exact private address. Young's work moves between acoustic folk rock, electric rock, country rock, roots music, and experimental studio forms. His career includes long-running collaborations with Crazy Horse and current work with The Chrome Hearts, while Reprise remains the label on his current releases. The exact Spotify identity 6v8FB84lnmJs434UJf2Mrm contains 152 principal album and single containers in the Canadian market: 89 provider-classified albums and 63 singles dated from 1969 through May 29, 2026. This is a provider-container count, not a count of unique studio albums. It intentionally includes live albums, archival releases, remasters, anniversary editions, soundtracks, and reissues when Spotify assigns Neil Young as a principal artist. The current catalog includes As Time Explodes, a thirteen-track live album with The Chrome Hearts released by Reprise in May 2026, and Talkin to the Trees, the band's ten-track 2025 studio album. Representative recordings also include Harvest, Rust Never Sleeps, and Harvest Moon. Apple Music independently matches the canonical Neil Young identity and current releases while preserving separate artist identities for Crazy Horse, The Chrome Hearts, and other named ensembles. The Recording Academy records two GRAMMY wins and twenty-eight nominations, including Best Rock Song for Angry World and a packaging award for Neil Young Archives Vol. I. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Young as a performer in 1995. His current official archive remains the central artist-controlled source for releases and activity. No safe general professional inquiry form was found during review, so MusicList does not publish contact details or infer a route. Spotify media is displayed live with provider attribution and a monogram fallback. The exact English and French payload was reviewed for identity, current Lakefield and Ontario geography, activity, catalog scope, collaborations, label, awards, contact omission, provider media, and meaning parity.
