...and it's a tribute to Ben too...
This is one of several interesting covers on the MOJO disc -- another is Chip Taylor's version of "Words."
Unfortunately, the tracking on the disc is poor -- for example, the first note of "Words" is actually part of the prior track, and several of the tracks run together.
Done on purpose to discourage making audio files?
I like most of the cover versions on this Harvest revisited disc. Maybe Words and Out on the Weekend the most. The project is more consistent than other cover albums, much because it concentrates on one album. What is funny and a good thing is that I can listen to the whole album without thinking too much that this is original a Neil Young album. A good thing that indicates that the songs will live on long after Neil is not able to perform than anymore...

That's bringing it 'down home'. Very cool rendition, very true to the vibe.
