Thanks to Mike for the another fun recommendation, but Neil Young’s Homegrown is a good listen. I wrote a whole bit here gushing over his cover of Love Is A Rose, until I looked up the wikipedia article to link to and learned that Neil in-fact wrote the song and that Homegrown is an only recently released album originally recorded in 1975. Here is a link to Linda Ronstadt’s version only because I love it so much, but here is Neil Young’s version:
I should have mentioned in the previous post which song lead me to discovering Rockin’ Horse (but maybe I’m just spacing out posts). When touring in support of his first solo album, I stumbled on a bootleg of a Dan Auerbach show, which included the cover of Oh, Carol, which I became obsessed with. His version is great and definitely worth it’s own post.

Has anyone heard of this band before? I downloaded their album, Yes It Is, years ago for one song; on first listen it sounded like a generic crappy 70’s band, but I listened it a couple of more times and really like all of these songs. Aquarium Drunkard has a good post about the album if you want more info. Don’t know why it popped into my brain again, but give it a listen and let me know what you think:
Looking at the tracklisting, I was intrigued in the covers. Dave Mason’s Feeling Alright is worth a listen, but I might just be too burnt out on so many covers of the Beatles’ Come Together to enjoy their version.
