Want to know what would be a load of fun, watching Diane (you) watch the video from Neil's "Live Rust" movie of the song "Sedan Delivery". The contrast in styles would blow her mind.

[@boroblueyes]

Neil Young is eclectic. He can go from a song like this, to full on rock and roll with songs like "Like a Hurricane" or "Cortez the Killer". My favorite Neil concert was in Athens, Ga. in the early 80's. Over an hour of acoustic Neil, followed by an hour and a half of Neil with his band "Crazy Horse".

[@primalengland]

Neil has been there for most of my adult life, just sitting there, being Neil. Canada should be proud.

[@paullangland7559]

And here is yet another rock star that I enjoy. Thanks for reacting to this guy. Heart of Gold is my favorite song from Neil Young.

It's been 50 years since I was young and, honestly, I wouldn't want to do it again. But watching your sweet reactions, Diane, brings back some of the tender memories of youth, and a hint of the promise of that time. Variably fulfilled.

[@chrishebert5672]

Another song you might check out is by a British group called The Dream Academy. They released their main hit "Life in a Northern Town" in 1985 with help from David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Paul Simon. The extended version is the one to watch. It incorporates a timpani, cello, and a cor anglais. The song was written as a tribute to Nick Drake, a British folk singer who died in 1974. Here's a link to the best version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIiwfHSPh7psp6c

Other Neil Young songs you'd like: Old Man, Heart of Gold,. If you can get it through the filters almost anything by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is killer.

Happy Monday Diane! Great choice for an artist to react and listen to. Neil Young is an amazing artist. There's a song of his on the soundtrack of the film "Philadelphia" that he did which was the title track. His voice is very soothing. Enjoy your week Diane! All the best to you always. 👋😎🙏

Neil Young is a famous Canadian known around the from his work with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash. In the early 90's I played Harvest Moon a lot as it count towards Canadian at the fm station where I was a broadcast personality. I am glad you liked the song, hope you and Chewie have a good week.

That’s so coool! 😎

[@BobSoltis1]

I would strongly suggest that he is famous for being Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield, and his solo career. He was big before and after he joined CSN as PART-TIME member for only 2 years. He also moved to the US at the age of 21 and has lived there far longer than he ever lived in Canada and has taken out American citizenship. Notice the BIG prominently displayed AMERICAN flag? ;)

Thank you for reacting to one of our Canadian legends, even though he moved to the States and now has US citizenship as well, I believe. When you react to "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold" look for the live versions from 1971 and watch the long version with the introductions by Neil as it shows a lot of his personality. "Helpless", "The Needle And The Damage Done", "Down By The River", "Cinnamon Girl", and "After The Goldrush" are just some of his songs you should get to one day. As for Joni Mitchell? Absolutely! Can't go wrong with either of these Canuck mega stars!!

Joni Mitchell is Amazing. Her song “River” was always a Christmas staple at our house when I was a kid.

[@BillW1]

Thanks Diane. I've always enjoyed Young.You may enjoy Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young also. The song Ohio was one that was a protest song written by Young after the National Guard shot and killed 4 students during a Viet Nam war protest at Kent State Univ. in 1970. My favorite Neil Young records are After The Gold Rush, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, And Harvest. Steven Stills of CSN, and CSNY is another you may like. Tree Top Flyer live is an especially good song.

[@alu.minium521]

Funny how the full story is still overlooked after all these years. Why was a unit of the Ohio National Guard there? Maybe because the not enrolled at Kent State peaceful protesters torched a building on campus the weekend before? Sad day in Ohio and that song never helped anything.

This isn't the real Neal Young. Stuff like Cinnamon Girl or Down By The River (great cover by Indigo Girls on that one), or Country Girl. Young was famous for once saying "Better to burn out than to rust." Looks like he rusted after all.

Hello, and Happy Monday, Diane and Chewie. Neil Young had a song called Southern Man, in which he made a bit of a slander against the South. Lynyrd Skynyrd then responded with a line in the song Sweet Home Alabama. The line in the song was, well I hope Neil Young will remember a Southern man don’t need him around anyhow! However, lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd Ronnie Van Zandt, was wearing a Neil Young shirt not long before the plane crash that killed several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. So I guess they made amends before the tragic plane crash, which was good.

[@DianeJennings]

So interesting!!!

[@jeffrogers2180]

Slander? Still fighting 50 year old battles are we?

[@krisgalusha9820]

Neil said after hearing Sweet Home Alabama good for them standing up for their state.

[@mournblade1066]

Neil said he had heard the song multiple times, and liked it, and after about a dozen times or so he said, "Wait--they're singing about me!" But, he added, "I'd rather listen to Sweet Home Alabama than Southern Man any day." He actually became friends with Ronnie Van Zandt.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Diane, merry Monday! Neil Young goes back a long time. He was part of the 60s group Crosby Stills Nash and Young. I saw him in concert back in 1990 in Dallas at the Bronco Bowl. He was doing the Rust Never Sleeps tour. It was a great show. He came out for the 1st part of it by himself with an assortment of acoustic guitars, sat down and did a long set covering many of songs he did as part of CSN&Y, as well as a lot of his solo work. Then after a brief intermission, he returned with his backing band Crazy Horse. The 2nd half of the show was electric, and he really rocked out! Lots of high energy stuff with distortion and effects. And he played for a long time, too! Another group you should react to is The Pretenders. Check out the song Just the Night in My Veins, it's really good from a female perspective. Give Chewie a hug, I love you and have a great week!

[@DianeJennings]

Sounds like we’ve just touch the surface of this artist

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

@@DianeJennings Neil started out with the band Buffalo Springfield, they had a hit in 1966, 'For What it's Worth'

[@lawrencedavis9246]

I saw a smiling Diane and the name Neil Young, and I thought that perhaps I had entered an alternate Jennings-verse. "Certainly," I thought, "the thumbnail must be wrong, maybe it was intended to be used for a different video. Neil Young is the artist for whom the adjective _mercurial_ was created." Silly me, she picked _Harvest Moon;_ nothing to worry about. Neil Young is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. One album might be a series of crashing electric tracks recorded with the band Crazy Horse, another might be an acoustic album. There was a time when I didn't care, I liked all of his many musical personalities. Somewhere in my attic there might still be a box of his albums with the grooves worn out. Neil Young's popularity received a boost when the musical genre of 'grunge' became popular, and was considered by many to be the grandfather of grunge. There is much more I could write, but I'll just close with the thought, "I'm glad she didn't pick the song _Southern Man."_ Whew!

[@DianeJennings]

Whaaaat? It seems I have a lot to learn about this artist. Also, I had to look up mercurial to refamiliarize myself with it. Good word!

[@barryderby]

A gorgeous love song! It was played at our wedding, and i loved hearing it again. It's not typical of his style, which ranges from introspective acoustic songs through to some of the loudest, grungiest rock you ever heard. Watch him live for best effect. Down By The River or Like a Hurricane. Also, catch the Who live - they were amazing in their prime. Try Young Man Blues, live at the Isle of Wight!

[@bob_._.]

"Old Man" is a must hear, inspired by his meeting the foreman of the ranch he bought when he made enough money to buy land. Joni Mitchell is a worthy rabbit hole to explore; "Both Sides Now" and "River" are great starters, along with "Big Yellow Taxi"

[@DianeJennings]

I know ‘both sides now’ for sure!

[@thomasmcdonough6642]

Paul Simon. Bridge over troubled water. Great harmony

[@johnhrussell4885]

"Southern Man" was inspired by the Kent State shootings (even though Ohio isn't a southern state) and it in turn inspired Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama." They hated each for a while but eventually buried the hatchet. If you like "Harvest Moon" and a mandolin, check out A J Lee and The Brothers Comatose's cover. It's really beautiful.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Actually, the Crosby Stills Nash and Young song "Ohio" was a reaction to the shootings at Kent State. Neil Young wrote it and CSNY rushed it to the radio almost overnight, even going as far as to request that the song they had just released, Teach Your Children Well be put on the back burner in favor of "Ohio" to call maximum attention to the events at Kent State.

[@randycliff4045]

We've enjoyed Neil Young for 60yrs and it's wonderful seeing another generation discover older comforting music.

[@Alan-t1w2u]

This is one of Neil's better songs. "Heart of Gold" was his best earliest song. "Southern Man" is well known, and caused a reaction, and was mentioned in the song "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I also like "Hey Hey, My My (Out Of The Blue)" (used in the Dennis Hopper movie "Out of the Blue" 1980)

[@ferleiva7080]

Wow I think I recommended this song some time ago 😇 How glad you enjoyed it! There is also the rock and roll side of Neil, which can get a bit weirder than this (his almost out-of-tune singing is not for everyone), but great too. Songs like "Powderfinger" or "Like a Hurricane". He also did a rocky version of "On Broadway", the song from All That Jazz. So many records, he's a teasure trove really. With Joni Mitchell -one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever- you can pick any song of her early album Blue, very much in the same vein as "Harvest Moon" but twenty years earlier. Try her early Seventies stuff before moving on to the later stuff, which is more jazzy and experimental.
