Songs for Judy is a highly praised 2018 live album by Neil Young, featuring raw, acoustic performances from his 1976 solo tour. The album showcases Young's "pristine" playing and intimate audience rapport, mixing beloved classics with newly written material and early songs. Critics highlight the album's warm sound, playful humor, and ability to capture Young's vibrant, relaxed state, even including the previously unreleased song "No One Seems to Know".

The album captures the first half of Young's shows from a November 1976 tour where he performed solo before being joined by Crazy Horse.

The collection features well-known songs like "Heart of Gold" and "After the Gold Rush," along with early classics like Buffalo Springfield's "Mr. Soul," and tunes that were still new at the time, such as "White Line" and "Pocahontas".

The sound quality is remarkable for its era, with the acoustic guitar, organ, and piano sounding rich and warm.

Young's interactions with the audience are a highlight, marked by jokes and the album's title, which comes from his monologue about seeing the late Judy Garland in the audience.

Even in a solo setting, Young's performances are described as "charged," "muscular," and spirited, challenging the notion that acoustic Neil is always melancholy.

The album provides a valuable snapshot of Young as a performer in late 1976, capturing him in a relaxed and focused state while trying out new songs and revisiting old favorites
