On this date, January 22, 1969, Neil Young released his self-titled debut solo album produced by Young, Jack Nitzsche, Ry Cooder and David Briggs. The album consisted of original songs by Young including one of his most enduring songs, "The Loner." Neither the album and the remixed version of it released in November 1969 made the Billboard charts. Young was unhappy with the first release. "The first mix was awful", he was reported as saying in Cash Box of September 6, 1969. "...I was trying to bury my voice, because I didn't like the way it sounded." Rolling Stone wrote "in many ways, a delightful reprise of that Springfield sound done a new way." In its retrospective review, AllMusic described it as "an uneven, low-key introduction to Young's solo career."
