Neil Young: Influences

Neil Young: Influences

Neil Young's vision is shaped by the folk revival and the British Invasion. Bob Dylan's defiant poetry on the civil rights anthem “Blowin' In the Wind” steered his early lyrics, and the Stones' fuzzy “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction” exposed him to snarling riffs. Young also has a love for twang, as seen in Hank Williams' honky-tonk heartbreaker “I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry”.
