Freedom
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 *Freedom* in 1989, assembling the album from tapes of the various different projects he\'d been working on. Both gentle and ferocious, *Freedom* 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.
Neil Young is famous for scrapping completed albums and substituting hastily recorded ones in radically different styles.
