Silver & Gold (Neil Young album)

Silver & Gold is the 26th studio album by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Neil Young, released on April 25, 2000. It is a collection of songs written primarily during the 1990s, showcasing a mellow and introspective sound. The album's themes often revolve around love, family, aging, and reflections on the past.

Recorded both in the studio and live at various locations, Silver & Gold features a relatively simple instrumentation, often consisting of Young's acoustic guitar and harmonica, along with backing vocals and occasional piano or organ. Several tracks feature performances from Young's then-wife, Pegi Young.

The album was released to generally positive reviews, with critics praising its heartfelt lyrics and intimate atmosphere. It reached the top 30 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States and charted in several other countries. Notable tracks include the title track "Silver & Gold", "Razor Love", "Horses", and "Distant Camera".

Silver & Gold is considered by some fans to be a return to the more acoustic-driven sound of Young's earlier work, following some of his more experimental albums in the 1980s and 1990s. It remains a popular entry in Neil Young's extensive catalog.
