Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold was inspired by Neil Youngs quest for inner truth and understanding. Despite being one of his most commercially successful songs, Young later expressed discomfort with its success, fearing it would lead him into a creative comfort zone. The track is notable for the backing vocals of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt.
