Young, Neil - Old Ways

Blending country traditions with heartfelt songwriting, Old Ways sees Neil Young fully embracing his love for classic country music.

Originally released in 1985, the album combines acoustic textures, pedal steel guitars, fiddles, and warm melodies with Young's unmistakable voice and reflective songwriting style. Featuring collaborations with legendary musicians including Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and longtime collaborator Ben Keith, Old Ways delivers an authentic country atmosphere rooted in Americana and traditional Nashville sounds. Tracks like Are There Any More Real Cowboys?, Bound For Glory, and the title track Old Ways highlight the album's laid-back charm and emotional sincerity.
