Like A Hurricane (Neil Young Song)
"Like a Hurricane" is a song written by Neil Young in 1975 and first released on the album ''American Stars 'n Bars'' in 1977. History There is a story that Young wrote the song in July 1975 with the help of his friend and La Honda neighbor Taylor Phelps in the back of his DeSoto Suburban, during a time when Young was unable to sing because of an operation on his vocal cords.

An edited version of "Like a Hurricane" was released as a single on August 8, 1977, with "Hold Back the Tears" as B-side. Composition The melody of Like a Hurricane was inspired by Del Shann ...
