Released right after the career albums TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS, this country-rocky 1977 album is often forgotten. But it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky favorites as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," which is exactly what it says it is. As Neil Young's legendary 1970s albums go, it might be a bit of a tossed-off affair, but most country-rockers can only dream of making one album this good.
Released right after the devastating TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA--and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS--Neil Young's 1977 country-rock album AMERICAN STARS 'N BARS is often forgotten. Nevertheless, it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky gems as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," whose title is entirely self-explanatory. As Neil Young's legendary 1970s albums go, this might seem a bit casually assembled, but most country-rockers can only dream of making one album this good.

"...Weirdly sex-obsessed country tracks, taped at rehearsals without telling fellow vocalist Linda Ronstadt..."Musician - 5/94, p.68
"...AMERICAN STARS 'N' BARS (1977) found Young and Crazy Horse cranking out their most primitive garage rock with a honky-tonk edge..."
