It reached #38 on the Billboard Magazine Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In a 2016 Rolling Stone Magazine readers poll, 'Unknown Legend' ranked as Young's 4th best post-1970s song. Young biographer David Downing sees the song as one of several on Harvest Moon that describe Americans feeling a deep sense of loss for unknown reasons in 1992. A lot of the common thing is survival, not losing what it is you were when you were young, but take it with you, take it with you into your own age. It's inspired by some people I know and some people I don't know and all kinds of things put together.They're just pictures, people's lives. Young biographer Glen Boyd similarly sees a portrait of Pegi in the lyrics about working in a diner and raising two kids, as well as in a line about 'her long blonde hair flowin' in the wind.' Nonetheless, Young has described his inspiration as being more expansive, stating: Nigel Williamson feels that the lyric about how the woman used to work in a diner was inspired by Young's first wife Susan Acevedo and that the lyrics about an 'unknown legend' who is raising two kids but still has 'the far away look in her eyes' were inspired by his later wife Pegi Young, and music critic Johnny Rogan agrees that the character described by the lyrics seems to be a combination of the two.

The lyrics were inspired by multiple people. The lyrics describe a woman who had worked in a diner and rode a Harley Davidson, but now is raising two children. Ben Keith plays pedal steel, in a performance that Young biographer Jimmy McDonough describes as providing 'proud but sad' accents. Although it was not released as a single, it reached #38 on the Billboard Magazine Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.Īlthough 'Unknown Legend' was not released until 1992, it was written earlier, closer to the release of Young's 1978 album Comes a Time, and several critics have noted a similarity between the style of 'Unknown Legend' and the material on Comes a Time, particularly the song 'Motorcycle Mama.' Allmusic critic Matthew Greenwald describes the song as being based on a 'simple, folksy guitar riff and melody.' As with several other songs on Harvest Moon, Linda Rondstadt provided backup vocals in the refrains.
