The Coal Porters play Neil Young's Like A Hurricane - YouTube

Speaking of Americana, here's a different take on the classic Neil Young & Crazy Horse song.

The Coal Porters on Sept. 9, 2010 at the Americana Festival in Nashville playing Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane".

The Coal Porters are a London based Blue Grass band.

(Thanks John "Big Chief"!)

Now, forget what you might have read about the new volume of the never-ending book by NY, I believe in my heart that Neil & CH will deliver, like they always have, to bring a new sensibility to the view of the history of life and music. This is Neil, folks, don't forget. If he has disappointed you in the past, remember that only your expectations will disappoint you, not the person. Neil is Neil, just like your lover is your lover.
Now, having said all that...whew! check out the official site for the pre-order of Americana and if you do as I did, order the CD etc, you will receive the song 'Oh Susannah' as a digital download on April 24th. This is all good....no bad news here.

There's this duo that's been around in the States called Civil Wars (the guy grew up playing bluegrass) that covers of old stuff from Michael Jackson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. They play bars and small theaters and are a lot of fun to watch. Sort of reminds me of the way concerts use to be before everything went mumbo jumbo.
At 4/14/2012 02:46:00 PM, Babbo B. said...: For more bluegrass Neil, check out "Cowgirl in the Sand," first track off the self-titled debut album by Barnstar! (a side project of singer-songwriter Mark Erelli, also featuring Josh Ritter's bassist, Zack Hickman).
