Sleeps with Angels is the 22nd studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young. The album is Young's seventh with Crazy Horse. The album was Young's last with his long-time producer David Briggs. The title track was written and recorded as a tribute to Kurt Cobain in the wake of his suicide. Although the rest of the album was recorded before that event, the album takes on a somber, subdued tone throughout. Musician and author Ken Viola described the album as one of Young's "top five records. It examines the nature of dreams — both the light and dark side — and how they fuel reality in the nineties. Dreams are the only thing that we've got left to hang on to."
