old live video of Neil Youg

Song from the first solo album

me and the Westfalls

a somewhat obscure Neil Young song from the double cd "Decade"

from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

From the brilliant album of the same name

First time I heard this was live in concert and I was blow away by it. The only version that comes close to what I saw is the live version on the Silver

Neil Young

A beautiful song from the 1977 album American Stars and Bars. Imagine yourself as a salmon swimming upstream to spawn, what a beautiful metaphor! Young recorded this into a tape recorder in his living   more...room in front of a crackling fire so I tried and failed to replicate that look. The lighting was way too low and the fire on my computer screen is behind me. The recording came out good though so I went ahead with the video and lightened it as much as I could.  less

Neil Young - Piece of Crap

From Tonights The Night

From harvest

My cover of Neil Young's biggest hit.

Song from the 1974 album On The Beach

This song was written by Young while on tour in his hotel room after he saw a news broadcast of Richard Nixon leaving the hospital and looking very distraught because of his wife Pat Nixon's stroke. Young   more...went and performed the song live that very night after writing it. A moment of compassion for President Nixon.  less

My cover of this disturbing song from the On The Beach album. "Revolution Blues" is a dark and disturbing song about a cult and the terror they may inflict on the wealthy residents of the Laurel   more...Canyon that is clearly inspired by the Manson family. In fact when Neil Young played it live once in 1983 he dedicated the song to Manson.  less

I did this cover to celebrate two things. I met Neil Young by pure coincidence yesterday while out with my kids + I reunited with I did this cover to celebrate two things. I met Neil Young by pure coincidence   more...yesterday while out with my kids + I reunited with an old friend that reminded me I used to play this song way back when. Two very good reasons to do a proper cover with harp.  less

My second favorite song from the Greendale album.

Performed live acosutic at Bridge School Benefit on 10/27/07.
Partial clip.

This has to be one of my all time favorite Neil Young songs and a true classic.
I literally grew up hearing this song. The year was 1970 when I first heard this album being played around the house.
It has   more...never left my soul. I used to go out in my truck when in high school at lunch and just crank this song up!
One of those songs that is forever burned into my memory cells.
I love both the electric and the acoustic versions. When I heard the 4 way street acoustic version I decided that someday I was going to play and sing that song.
I've been playing the song for decades but always shied away from singing it because it was so far out of my range.
That was before I discovered different tunings. I experimented and finally hit on a guitar tuning that worked for my voice.
So here's my first ever Serious attempt at singing this song  less
