By 1976 Neil Young had already created a body of work that most songwriters would cut off both arms and legs to have composed. But Young had merely completed another phase of his career and was ready to start the next.

Holly was unique, his legendary status and his impact on popular music all the more extraordinary for having been achieved in barely 18 months.
