VIDEO: "Mansion On The Hill" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Probably one of our favorite songs on the 1990 Ragged Glory album by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is "Mansion On The Hill".

This is the official video for the song and is a clever mix of performance and concept.

What more could you ask for?

Neil in a white collar preacher's outfit?! Now that is just whacky.

And, the song features a choir, so you if you're leery of the upcoming Americana, you can maybe get a better feel for Neil Young & Crazy Horse music arranged with this concept.
