For this week's Full Show Friday we take the Hidden Track Time Machine back to 2002 for a stirring performance by Neil Young with Poncho and The MGs. Ol' Neil was headlining the Rock am Ring Festival in Nürburgring, Germany with a band that mixed Crazy Horse guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro with Booker T. and The MGs and his whole set was broadcast on famed German live music show Rockpalast. Young was in fine form on this night as he mixed his greatest songs such as The Loner, [...]
Only love can break your heart (Neil Young) - Killed by 9V Batteries Ever since reading Navid Kermanis “Das Buch der von Neil Young getöteten” that wonderfully connects sufism, Neil Young and fatherhood, I have a new-found appreciation for both Neil Young and Killed by 9V Batteries’ Neil Young covers. I used to find them too lo-fi, too amateurish but now I can see the charm and beauty in that
"Ontem, estávamos nós a caminho do cinema, e ouvi um tipo qualquer na rádio a despejar o seu coração numa canção. Disse ao Ben Bourdon, o assistente e amigo do Ben Young [filho de Neil Young]: 'Isto parece o Jimmy Fallon a fazer de mim. O que raio significa isto?' Foi giro. Soava mesmo como eu. Fartámo-nos de rir. O Ben Young achou histérico. O Fallon soava como uma versão de mim aos vinte anos.

Today is your lucky day.....I have a Neil Young Three'fer for you instead of our normal Two'fer. Last week I was listening to my copy of Neil's 1976 retrospective, Decade, and reading the liner notes for the first time in many years. His liner note for Heart of Gold from the Harvest album (his only #1 hit single) caught my attention.... This song put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there. [...]

Protest Music has always been part of American music and it still is today. It is not something that you hear about on a daily basis but it is always there lurking in the background. In some ways, it is somewhat like the "room of requirement" from Harry Potter in that was always there when it was really needed. Think about the song Ohio from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Neil Young wrote the song immediately after David Crosby showed him Life Magazine photos of the National Guard gunning down students at Kent State during an antiwar protest. [...]

Los Angeles duo Poolside began in early 2011 with a sound they refer to as "daytime disco," recording, appropriately, in a makeshift recording studio in a poolhouse. This song, off of their 2012 debut album Pacific Standard Time , was originally released as a single in 2011 and it got them their initial buzz, with good reason. This dreamy, synth driven Neil Young cover somehow manages to capture the spirit of the original while giving it a completely new feel, and it's available for free download on Soundcloud. Check it out after the jump! [...]
I grew up a gamer. My entire youth consisted of manipulating three dimensional objects brought to life by varying permutations and combinations of 1s and 0s. Quite literally, I did nothing else. Brainwashed by the news, my folks began to mistake gaming for an opioid addiction. They made many attempts to stymie my addiction. For instance, they refused to buy me a console for a considerable length of time. When they did, they made sure it was an NTSC region locked Xbox so I couldn’t locally purchase any games for it. In their crusade, their most trusted albeit [...]
A páginas tantas da sua autobiografia, Neil Young refere-se às nacionalidades dos Crazy Horse, seus habituais companheiros de estrada e de estúdio. A respeito do baterista Ralph Molina, apresenta-o como... português. Por seu turno, as boas gentes do wikipedia dizem que Molina nasceu em Porto Rico. Claro está, muito pode estar a acontecer aqui: 1) Local de nascimento é diferente de

I'm just about finished Neil Young 's autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace . It's an annoying read, but now I've come this far, I need to finish it. I love old whiny Neil, I really do, but his book goes about dispelling the myth behind the man faster than the man himself was able to hoover up the white stuff backstage during The Last Waltz . The chapters jump from one time and place to another time and place and back again with random abandon (which I don't mind) but the content therein just bores me. There's just [...]
Neil Young: Heart of Gold via YouTube [above] [ purchase mp3 at Amazon ] I held back until the last minute before our new theme comes online because I thought for sure some other SMM poster would surely hit on this: it has the weekly theme in the title and it is a classic. Heart of Gold is the only one of Neil Young's many songs to [...]

Mark Martyre , Canadian singer-songwriter, late last year unveiled the album Down, Record. This release sounds as if Bruce Springsteen with his raspy vocals decided to put out a solo acoustic album, modelling the guitar and harmonica stylings of Neil Young . It is gratifying to see modern artists continuing to produce exceptional folk albums. In Martyre's words about his release, "I’ve always paid attention to the lyrics in the songs I listen to. It’s always been an important part to me. I tried to keep the music simple, and give the lyrics, [...]

Getting tired of Mumford and Sons churning out the same ole same ole? Then do what I did and take a look at The Folk Remedy from Manchester whose diversity and musicality is as refreshing as it is highly listenable. These three musicians have merged their own different musical backgrounds into one sound, which brings out their individual personalities whilst staying true to their folk roots. [...]

Yesterday I did a heart felt post about the life lessons offered by Mary Chapin Carpenter's song, The Long Way Home. You will probably remember that Mary encouraged us all to slow down, relax, and enjoy life. While I know that Mary's advice is something that I ought to try to follow, I have to admit that I find it hard to do. I am, at heart, a workaholic that finds it hard to slow down, much less relax. So.....tonight Neil Young has agreed to present a dissenting opinion that is closer to how I actually live my [...]
"(...) Estava anunciado como "Rust Never Sleeps: A Concert Fantasy" e era ainda mais estranho para o público porque o meu novo álbum, Comes a Time, tinha justamente acabado de sair. "O Comes a Time tinha sido um tipo completamente diferente de música, gravada em Nashville com uma banda diferente! Nessa altura, eu tinha o hábito de tocar primeiro todas as minhas canções novas ao vivo, gravando-as
Filed under: News Getty Images LOS ANGELES (AP) - Be it concert or charity auction, Bruce Springsteen can bring any event to a crescendo. Springsteen briefly took over auctioneering duties before being honored as MusiCares person of the year Friday night, exhorting the crowd to bid on a signed Fender electric guitar by amping up the deal. The 63-year-old rock 'n' roll star moved the bid north from $60,000 by offering a series of [...]

Y a un truc comme trois mois j'ai acheté un Rock & Folk. Eh ouaip... Pour ma défense, je tiens à dire que j'aime lire des revues musicales. Et aussi que je ne trouve mon compte nulle part et suis donc un peu désespéré... La couv' du numéro de novembre de R&F affichait Neil Young alors j'ai tenté (je ne me suis rendu compte qu'après qu'il y avait dedans quatre ou cinq pages consacrées à Francis Cabrel et là, j'ai pleuré). A l'intérieur, le papier de [...]

Nicolette Larson - Nicolette (Warner Bros., 1979) By the time Nicolette Larson had entered the studio to record her debut album, she had lent her angelic voice to project ranging from Neil Young ‘s Comes a Time to Emmylou Harris ‘ Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town to the Doobie Brothers ‘ Minute by Minute . For Nicolette, she chose the Doobs producer, Ted Templeman, a stable of famed musicians (including Linda Ronstadt as well as members of the Doobie Brothers and Little Feat ) and two dozen songs that covered rock, pop [...]
