Analogman Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 A-Man knows all!Sweet Joni from Saskatoon.... I think there is a bit about this in the liner notes in Decade. I found that on the internet - that is the story I have always heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Wrote this one on birthday 19, somewhere in Canada. .....Joni heard this and wrote Circle Game. Top marks for memory A-MAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually used to have that on tape but lost it hopefully in a decade or so when archives vol 4 (i'm guessing) comes out it will be on there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

suites Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Absolutely. I saw a Neil & the Bluenotes show in Summer '88 & he did a version of "Ordinary People" that was 15-20 minutes long & it just KILLED! Best un-released song ever....I have it on at boot I got.....Rock and Roll Cowboy. The other song that is great but actaully realsed as a b side was...Dont Spook the Horse...very sweet.

camaroheadus Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 it's sure as hell not "Living With War". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 it's sure as hell not "Living With War". I thought that was pretty good. But my favorite is "Silver and Gold" -- I'm surprised I'm the only one to mention this so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Candy Floss Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Everybody Knows This Is NowhereAfter the Gold RushRust Never SleepsDecade Are the best. decade doesn't count it is a compilation. You could always start from the beginning. "NEil Young", his self titled album is great- some very interesting stuff on there. Then I'd try Zuma, after the Goldrush, and Rust Never Sleeps ( nobody has been saying that one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamin' Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I really don't have a favourite Neil Young song, but lately I've been appreciating "Cinnamon Girl." The outro (the guitars, the handclaps, and the giddy, "Woo") tells the story better than the lyrics. I also really love "Revolution Blues." How many songwriters would have the courage to sing from Manson's POV and be able to do it with enough genuine empathy to make it work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
