The many styles of music Neil Young has covered over the decades has only enhanced my love. From folk to country, rock, blues and grunge, even his electronic moments, it's been incredible.
So everyday this week I've a favourite track, a selection across the years to illustrate his breath of output. In a chosen chronological order, until Friday when I return to 1989.
Starting in the year 1978 from the 'Comes A Time' album I've picked 'Four Strong Winds'
Not composed by Neil Young 'Four Strong Winds" is a song written in 1962 by Ian Tyson and recorded by Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia on their 1963 album of the same name. Apparently the song is considered the unofficial anthem of Alberta.
Neil worked with many band members who showed up over the years in The Stray Gators and Crazy Horse to name a few.
The 'Comes A Time' album line up was - Neil Young - guitar, banjo, vocal; Nicolette Larson - harmony vocal; Ben Keith - steel guitar; Karl T. Himmel - Drums; Tim Drummond - bass; Spooner Oldham - piano; Rufus Thibodeaux - fiddle.
Tomorrow is another day and another track >>>
