A Remarkable "Cowgirl in the Sand" Cover
We've heard a lot of covers of a lot of Neil Young songs over the years, but we're still always amused when something strikes us with a "Hey, now that was different".
So here's a rather remarkable cover of "Cowgirl in the Sand" by Houssaine Kili, a gifted Moroccan musician.
We're not too clear on the world music lineage here, so if you can help out, drop a comment. This seemed to turn up on Facebook | Thrasher's Wheat recently.
So, who exactly was that cowgirl in the sand anyways?

I thought it was great, too. I also like Be Good Tanya's cover of "For the Turnstiles."
ReplyDeleteLove it. Want more Neil on Baglamas!
ReplyDeleteA brilliant interpretation of one of Neil's classic songs. Music is a language in itself and has no boundries. As an artist, it must be a real trip to hear audiences in foreign countries singing along to your songs. To have someone on the other side of the world cover one of your songs must be an honor as well. That is huge when you consider that there are so many artists wishing they could just hear their song on the radio!
