This album has haunted me since my freshman year, when I played the crap out of this album in my dorm room.
It was recorded in the artist's home studio, and was the prequel to his biggest commercial success "Harvest." which had "Old Man," the song I covered here.
"After The Gold Rush" has a strong country influence, and one of the tracks,"Southern Man," was the basis for the line from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, "Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around, anyhow."
SPOILER ALERT:
I've always thought this song needed another verse, so I added one, with a resolution in the final chorus.
Hope you like it.
