Lou Reed was 69 (nice) when he made that album with Metallica. It’s not a bad album, so shut up, everyone who’s going to comment below with “I am the table” things.

Probably the stuff Johnny Cash was releasing shortly before he died, the Hurt cover being an obvious one. Think that was in his early seventies.

Dylan, Tempest, 71
That IS a good album! I really like the last three tracks in particular.
Guess Robert Pollard was pretty old to be finding Indie success, and he’s still chugging along rightly.

Loretta Lynn’s 84
Abul Mogard. He didn’t start recording and releasing music until after he’d retired. Interesting character

Paul Simon’s new album is brilliant, he’s 75.
Neil Young has always looked really fucking old even when he was in like his 30s. Ironic… because his name is Young

71 isnt VERY old!
I know 60+ is not so old, but to release your debut after 60 and build up a career from scratch… respect Mr Charles Bradley.
Older than me
