We posted this YouTube video the other day on our Twitter account and heard from a few folks that they had never heard this cover before.
Well, we had forgotten* also, so we thought we would share here on TW. So, here is The Everly Brothers cover of Neil Young's Buffalo Springfield song "Mr Soul". Produced By Jack Nitzche in 1968.
enjoy!
*UPDATE: Turns out we posted this back in 2014. The track can be found on The Everly Brothers Bear Family Box Set. Also, on "Hard Workin' Man: The Jack Nitzsche Story, Vol 2", a CD put together for Ace Records. (Thanks Leigh!)
UPDATE #2: Shortly after posting this cover of Buffalo Springfield's song "Mr Soul", Neil tweets "Mr Soul" from Hollywood Palace with Buffalo Springfield.

One of the very first TV appearances for Buffalo Springfield on April 8, 1967. We were jacked to be there! Life was exciting during our first days of success in Hollywood. https://t.co/XJPtHLRoq8 pic.twitter.com/umSGxsjAKz
Thanks for posting this. (I hadn't heard it before.) The background vocals are very similar to those on Neil's first solo LP which shared Jack Nitzsche's involvement.
ReplyDelete(BTW let's always keep in mind that when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all...)
good point on Jack's involvement Art.
ReplyDeleteIs it most likely that Nitzsche was the source/idea for Everly Brothers covering?
(btw, let's always keep in mind that you can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall...)
Fascinating interpretation. In a perfect world, this would have been a top 10 single. That being said, I think they may have been trying too hard to be psychedelic.
