Neil Young Discusses The International Harvesters and "A Treasure" Release
Neil Young discusses the International Harvesters band and his new archives release, A Treasure.
The video is rather intimate look at the different musicians and Neil's memories of their time together. Neil discusses the late, great Ben Keith on steel and slide guitar and Rufus Thibodeaux on fiddle, along with living legends Spooner Oldham and Hargus “Pig” Robbins on piano, Tim Drummond and Joe Allen on bass, Karl Himmel on drums, Anthony Crawford on guitar, banjo and mandolin among many others. Many of them were already paragons within the country music world and their notoriety has only grown in the years since. “I just love to hear those guys,” Young says. “They’re all country music legends.”

Mission Accomplished! Again.
That video is a treasure too. What a great testament to the life and times with his friends.
A country gentlemen he is.
Can't wait for this!
I got to see Neil and The International Harvesters in Rochester N.Y. 1985. I am looking forward to the release of their 20 minute version of "Down By The River". Trunks of Memories still to come! Doug S. Western N.Y.
Does anyone have any information on where and when Neil's sharing took place?

Does anyone know what version of "Down By The River" Neil may be referring to? I heard a version from the International Harvesters on RustRadio that had to be about 20 minutes and it was one of the greatest things I've ever heard in music. Mind-blowing is an understatement!
If you have any ideas...I would love to hear! THANKS! :)

I watched neil at the cne in toronto with the harvesters. His performance of down by the river is still stuck in my mind.26 years later. He broke nearly every string by the end. I gotta see it one more time.
