After the Gold Rush by Neil Young – Album Cover Location

Written by bnbrainer on 03 July 2011

“The album cover.” – Bob did an investigation about the album cover photo:

The photo was taken by photographer Joel Bernstein, most likely sometime in early 1970, as the album came out in August of that year.

In the book: Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography ((c) 2002, Random House) author Jimmy McDonough writes that Bernstein, 18-years-old at the time, was “shocked” that Neil chose that photo for the cover. Bernstein described it as an “accidental shot” of Neil walking through Greenwich Village (during an outdoor photo session) and he even “solarized the print in order to hide its soft focus.”

see the photos and text on his website.

Random Quote

“Every one of my records, to me, is like an ongoing autobiography. I can\'t write the same book very time. There are artists that can. They put out three or four albums every year and verything ***** sounds the same. That\'s great. Somebody\'s trying to communicate to a lot of people and give them the kind of music that they know they want to hear. That isn\'t my trip. My trip is to express what\'s on my mind. I don\'t expect people to listen to my music all the time. Sometimes it\'s too intense. If you\'re gonna put a record on at 11:00 in the morning, don\'t put on Tonight\'s The Night. Put on the Doobie Brothers.”
