NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP): Neil Young entered the mid-'80s under fire from his record label for making music it said it couldn't sell and under attack from the IRS for having "too much artistic control."
He was making a rockin' kind of country music that didn't resemble his greatest records and his label said didn't appeal to radio programmers. Those things didn't matter to Young, though. He was having the time of his life, playing 85 shows across North America in 1984 and '85 with The International Harvesters, and you can hear it on his new live album, "A Treasure."
