Covered: Neil Young, Volume 4: 1999-2005 | Albums That Should Exist

 Covered: Neil Young, Volume 4: 1999-2005

Paul says: Here’s the fourth album in the Neil Young covered series. Once again, thanks to Fabio from Rio for doing most of the work. I also want to mention that I have a long list of songwriters that I want to make Covered albums for. Many of the biggest ones, like Dylan, Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richard’s, Ray Davies, etc… are still to come. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten around to Young for a couple more years. But Fabio’s involvement and energy brought this one to the front of the line.

Here are Fabio’s comments about the time period of this volume:

By the turn of the millennium, Neil Young's songwriting had become a shared reference point for several generations of musicians. Musical artists from the folk revival, alt-country movement, and indie rock scene were all revisiting different eras of his catalog - from the fragile acoustic songs of the late sixties to the electric epics recorded with Crazy Horse. During this period, Young himself remained remarkably active, releasing albums such as "Silver and Gold" and "Greendale" while continuing to tour extensively. The covers gathered here reflect that generational dialogue: younger singer-songwriters, Americana performers, and alternative rock musicians rediscovering both famous classics and some of the most obscure corners of Young's songwriting.

The Jam - But I’m Different Now (1980)

Guess says: "I remember buying Sound Affects the day it came out, and eagerly ripping the plastic off. I was not disappointed. Looking back now, this more straightforward song probably fit in better with their earlier stuff, but it’s still a great deep cut."

Fun lasts for seconds, love lasts for days but
But you can’t have bot

Don’t think I know anyone who DIDN’T buy this when it came out, certainly it caused a hullabaloo!
