1985 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Includes Custom Inner Sleeve. LP Appears Glossy, Unplayed. Features Willie Nelson On "Are There Any More Real Cowboys?" Neil Young’s album Old Ways, released in 1985, marks one of the most conspicuous country turns in the legendary singer-songwriter’s career. Coming after a period of creative tension with his label and following several genre experiments, Old Ways found Young fully embracing Nashville’s traditions, enlisting the likes of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings for a project steeped in pedal steel, fiddles, and rich vocal harmonies. Critics at the time were divided: some saw the album as a heartfelt homage to country roots, while others interpreted it as a stubborn act of defiance against commercial expectations. With tracks such as “Are There Any More Real Cowboys?” and “Bound for Glory,” Young demonstrated both reverence for the genre and his own idiosyncratic songwriting voice, making *Old Ways* a distinctive entry in his expansive discography.
