The album contains three songs that became standards in his performance repertoire: "Cinnamon Girl," "Down by the River," and "Cowgirl in the Sand," all of which were written when Young had a 103 °F (39.5 °C) fever.[5] In 2003, the album was ranked #208 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was remastered and released on HDCD-encoded compact disc and digital download on July 14, 2009 as part of the Neil Young Archives Original Release Series. It was released on audiophile vinyl in December 2009, both individually and as part of a box-set of Neil's first 4 LPs available via his official website (this box set was limited to 1000 copies - a CD version of 3000 copies exists, too). A high resolution digital Blu-ray disc is planned, although no release date has been set.
