American Stars 'n Bars
American Stars 'n Bars is the eighth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released in 1977. The album included "Like a Hurricane", one of Young's best-known songs. The album was produced by Neil Young and David Briggs with Tim Mulligan ("Star of Bethlehem" was produced by Elliot Mazer).
The album cover was designed by a friend of Young's, actor Dean Stockwell, and features Connie Moskos keeled over with a bottle of Canadian whisky in her hand and an intoxicated Young with his face pressed against the glass floor.
Initially receiving favorable reviews, the album was described as a "sampler...of Young's various styles", even a "hodgepodge." It was not released in digital format until 2003, as a HDCD-encoded remastered version on August 19, 2003, as part of the Neil Young Archives Digital Masterpiece Series.
