About
Label chief David Geffen tried to sue Neil Young for making albums unrepresentative of the Neil Young sound throughout the ‘80s. Back with Reprise Records, Young issued <i>Freedom</i> in 1989, assembling the album from tapes of the various different projects he'd been working on. Both gentle and ferocious, <i>Freedom</i> contains everything Neil Young fans have ever expected from the man, from pointed contemporary commentary ("Rockin' In the Free World"), gentle, heartfelt acoustic ballads ("Hangin' On a Limb," "Too Far Gone”), and explosive electric workouts ("Eldorado," "On Broadway"). The album signaled an upcoming renaissance for Young’s public profile as the godfather of grunge.
