After the Gold Rush is the third studio album by Canadian / American musician , released in September 1970 on . It is one of four high-profile albums released by each member of  collective  in the wake of their chart-topping 1970 album . Gold Rush consists mainly of  music, along with the rocking "", inspired by the - screenplay After the Gold Rush.

After the Gold Rush peaked at number eight on the  Top Pop Albums chart; the two singles taken from the album, "" and "", made it to number 33 and number 93 respectively on the . Despite a mixed initial reaction, it has since appeared on a number of "greatest albums" lists.

Initial sessions were conducted with backing band  at  in Los Angeles amid a short winter 1970 tour that included a well-received engagement with  and  at the . Despite the deteriorating health of rhythm guitarist , the sessions yielded two released tracks, "" and "Oh, Lonesome Me."

Most of the album was recorded at a makeshift basement studio in Young's  home during the spring with  bassist , Crazy Horse drummer  and burgeoning eighteen-year-old musical prodigy  of the -based band  on piano. The incorporation of Lofgren was a characteristically idiosyncratic decision by Young: Lofgren had not played keyboards on a regular basis prior to the sessions. Along with , Lofgren would join an augmented Crazy Horse sans Young before enjoying success with his own group, solo cult success and a 25-year membership in 's ). The Young biography Shakey claims Young was intentionally trying to combine Crazy Horse and CSNY on this release, with members of the former band appearing alongside  (who contributed backing vocals to "Only Love Can Break Your Heart") and Reeves. The cover art is a  image of Young, walking past the  campus, passing an old woman. The picture was taken by photographer  and was reportedly out of focus. It was because of this he decided to mask the blurred face by solarizing the image. The photo is cropped; the original image included Young's friend and CSNY bandmate .

Songs on the album were inspired by the - screenplay for the unmade film After the Gold Rush. Young had read the screenplay and asked Stockwell if he could produce the soundtrack. Tracks that Young recalls as being written specifically for the film are "After the Gold Rush" and "Cripple Creek Ferry." The script has since been lost, though has been described as "sort of an end-of-the-world movie." Stockwell said of it, "I was gonna write a movie that was personal, a  self-discovery of the ... it involved the  (sic), it involved a lot of arcane stuff." Graham Nash claims that "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was written for him about the pains he was going through with his break up from .

According to the , After the Gold Rush was released on September 19, 1970. One month later, on October 24, the lead single "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" entered the  chart.

Critical reaction has improved with time; by 1975, Rolling Stone was referring to the album as a "masterpiece", and Gold Rush is now considered a classic album in Young's recording career.
