That fractured chronology gives \u003cem data-end=\"409\" data-start=\"385\"\u003eAmerican Stars ’N Bars\u003c\/em\u003e a loose, exploratory feel: some sides lean into his country and folk roots (e.g. “Homegrown”) while others (like “Like a Hurricane”) show him pushing toward electric turbulence.

For collectors it matters as one of the inflection points — a record that isn’t easily pigeonholed, reflecting his restless creative impulses over years rather than a single session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1042\" data-start=\"910\"\u003ePrice Suggestions (U.S., based on recent eBay \/ Gripsweat \/ Popsike comps):\u003cbr data-end=\"988\" data-start=\"985\"\u003eNM: $22–$30\u003cbr data-end=\"1002\" data-start=\"999\"\u003eVG+: $15–$22\u003cbr data-end=\"1017\" data-start=\"1014\"\u003eVG: $10–$16\u003cbr data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"1028\"\u003eG: $6–$12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8\/9\/23 ob 3\/18\/25 TC edited  sc  9\/27\/25 sc \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44722477301947,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/files\/R-721939-1490841742-9724.jpg?v=1691631329","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/neil-young-american-stars-n-bars-3","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
