Neil Young cover versions

This was a really mean thing to do to Neil in exchange for donating to his causes. Just sign the checks fer crissakes, don't torture the good old man.

osh Groban's formal treatment of Harvest Moon

THIS GUY. seriously.

Was coincidentally just listening to a pretty amazing Danish art rock/metal band called Kellermensch who cover Don't Let It Bring You Down.

Wasn't there a Shimmydisc band who covered Out Of The Blue Hey Hey My My back in about 89 - possibly with Thurston Moore on backing vocals?

Hush Arbors - "Sugar Mountain"

Lou Reed, Broken Social Scene, Joan as Policewoman and a cast of dozens to perform Neil Young tribute at Vancouver Olympics: http://www.vancouver2010.com/more-2010-information/cultural-festivals-and-events/event-listings/hal-willner's-neil-young-project-_70660zv.html

Vancouver thing sounds like it was better than the Grammy thing:

Especially this: "Reed would also come back for a killer F***in' Up with Costello and legendary bluesman James "Blood" Ulmer, decibels pushed as high as they would go."
!!!

we went to the thursday show and a few highlights for me were emily haines doing " a man needs a maid" and mark kozelek doing "albuquerque" and "powderfinger". never thought i would ever see elvis costello cranking out the "cowgirl in the sand" guitar solos and actually enjoying it. watching/hearing lou and james blood ulmer were also highs for me.

we sat front row too.

inspired by this thread i'm putting together my own neil young covers comp ... wonder if a recording of the vancouver show(s) will emerge ...

"Down By the River" got the Norman Whitfield soulful/ psychedelic treatment via The Undisputed Truth.

I believe this is from the Rex Noble *new* Bedroom Sessions:

don't forget the Boney M heart of gold for sure

Mark Kozelek doing Albuquerque sounds like just about the best thing ever... off to Youtube!

Ok, I only found a version of RHP performing it in '96. Kinda underwhelming, tbh...

dudes, i put together a neil young covers comp (some of which I discovered via this very thread!) check it here:http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

Yeah, I love that version -- almost put it on the covers comp, but went with Undisputed Truth's version instead. There'll probably have to be a volume 2! By the way, what's up with covers of Down By The River when in the pre-chorus they're like "sha la la the weather"? That's not in the original is it?

Just discovered this (take note, Tyler):

Downloadable, but you get each side as a single mp3. Eventually I'll split them up into tracks...

ha, some interesting choices on there (and a nice cover, too!)

Recently discovered Prelude's After the Goldrush. More sad a cappella early 70s vibes please.

Interesting.
