Neko Case covers Neil Young
A nice cover by Neko Case of Neil Young's “Dreamin’ Man”.
From Chromewaves:
"Neko Case released the tour-only EP Canadian Amp, half of which consisted of covers of Canadian artists and one of whom was Neil Young. Now Young is one of the most oft-covered artists Canada has ever produced but Case selected a track that hasn’t been done to death - “Dreamin’ Man” from 1992’s Harvest Moon, a song which finds Neil at his simplest and loveliest - and she more than does it justice."

I think a lot of his diamond in the rough songs are gonna be covered for a long, long time. There just waiting to be discovered.
And it takes somebody as unique as he is to breath life into it ...
There is a DJ nearby who plays a lot of her stuff on his program. She has that voice that kind of wavers between octaves ... like a a buddhist monk.
Way to go, Neko...
You've always gotta go first Muvver!..tell her she's dreamin!
Hey mother..Ya wanna listen to a great cover? Go to you tube and type in K.D.Lang doin' Neil's "Helpless" and K.D. doin' Leonard Cohen's halleluyah(sic)..if that don't bristle the hairs on ya neck, nothin will! (I'm not sayin' you've got a hairy neck or anything!)
I LOVE Dreamin' Man.One of my fav Neil songs and song in general of all time.Hope it's on Harvest Moon "Live" if it ever comes out.When (Astrid and Pegi or Nicolette?) sing background on that song it is soo haunting.In a good way.I love ya Neil.You're like a good friend I've never met.Keep ROCKIN' an ROLLIN'.
