Neil survived the 70s, was even nominated as "artist of the decade" by the Village Voice. He finished out the 70s with a film and an album both titled "Rust never sleeps" (the title a phrase that Young coined to urge himself to keep pushing in new creative directions to avoid stagnation).
The album itself was recorded live with overdubs added later and audience sound removed as much possible. The songs are half solo acoustic, and half 'rawk', recorded with Young's band Crazy Horse.
With the album being bookended by two stylistically different versions of the song "hey hey my my", it really shows off what Young could do back then.
