Cultural Facts:

1. Recording Story: Much of the album was recorded in the basement studio of Young’s Topanga Canyon home, giving songs such as “After the Gold Rush” and “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” an unusually intimate feel.
2. Personal Struggle: Young contracted polio at age six and had to learn to walk again, with the illness leaving lasting effects on the left side of his body.
3. Player Spotlight: Eighteen-year-old Nils Lofgren was asked to play piano during the sessions even though he did not consider himself a pianist, and his sparse playing became an important part of the album’s sound.
