Neko Case covers Neil Young

niko-case-middle-cyclone-cover.jpg


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."


Neko Case - “Dreamin’ Man” [mp3]

Neko Case has a new CD coming out called Middle Cyclone. Check it out. (Thanks! You'll also be supporting Thrasher's Wheat).

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...

Another "diamond in the rough" that will be covered in the years to come: "The Great Divide"

For my money, one of his most under-appreciated songs of all time.
