Another excellent roundup, passed on to me by cryptosicko:
http://coverlaydown.com/2018/03/recovered-in-folk-neil-young-44-redefining-tracks-from-a-decade-in-tribute/
I'm closing in on 700 Neil covers on my hard drive. Anyone know how to get in touch with, um, Neil Young? I think he should spend the next year securing all legal clearances and add a covers section to his archival website.
― clemenza, Friday, 16 March 2018 17:16 (six years ago) link
hmmm I find that collection surprisingly underwhelming, maybe it's the aesthetics, maybe Neil's hard to cover
I like the Built to Spill Cortez

I'm just hoarding at this point--I don't even listen to them anymore. I'd worked up an excellent mix-CD a few years ago.

can I see your mix cd tracklist?

Found it and put it on Google Docs:

That goes back 10 years, when I probably had half of what I have now. So there'd be some changes, I'm sure. You can probably figure out what the Chris Farley excerpt is if you give it some thought.

While tagging songs from these last two links, discovered a couple of full-length albums I didn't know about: Blitzen Trapper's Live Harvest, a Record Store Day thing, and J. Tillman covering the whole Tonight's the Night LP.

Seven years ago, when I picked "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" as my favourite song ever in a Facebook countdown, I called it "the most indestructible of Neil’s songs for anyone who tries to cover him." Rickie Lee Jones, whose version I'd never heard till today, walks right up to that line. The song sort of survives.

I guess the original is either in a different key or slightly off key or Neil does smth weird with his voice because both this and the excellent Buddy Miles version has something off about the vocals (not necessarily in a bad way) particularly on the "when you could be taking me for a riiiiiide" line

Roxy Music's "Like A Hurricane" is so incredible, it sounds like a Roxy song, even the lyrics ("Once I thought I saw you, in crowded, hazy bar") seem like Roxy lyrics.
That and Killdozer's "Cinnamon Girl", which points for having, some how, and even more inept rhythm section that the Horse

Does CSNY doing Down By The River at Balboa park in 1969 count as a cover? Never sure if the writer is on board.Anyway 19 minutes of guitar burn including a hypnotically repetitive element from one of the players.NOt sure if it is available anywhere legally yet but it does circulate on bootleg which is why i've heard it.
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link
think Y is on that one
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link
no what I meant was never sure if it counts as a cover if the writer/original artist is onboard i.e. later band with writer as central player or contemporary alternative band to the main one the artist is known for when artist is a permanent player in both bands.
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link
Intuitive call: I probably wouldn't count that, but I would count Neil joining R.E.M. for their cover of "Ambulance Blues" (some fan-club record put out by R.E.M., with a great lyric change to accommodate Bill Clinton).
― clemenza, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 19:56 (six years ago) link
Definitely Tori Amos Philadelphia

omg I got into an epic argument w my bass player years ago about this very subject when he insisted on calling Spiritualized's version of "Lord Can You Hear Me" a cover, because Spiritualized is ostensibly a "different" band than Spacemen 3, even though both feature Jason Pierce and it's his song
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 22:04 (six years ago) link
i mean, if you wrote a song and you are performing it, it's not a cover, right?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 22:47 (six years ago) link
my point exactly
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 22:49 (six years ago) link
Yeah just never sure if you could cover yourself years later since you're going to be in a different context, chronologically at least and probably mentally. maybe in terms of style too. & playing style with different players in your band is likely to change a bit or at least the surroundings will. So what word would you use to differentiate between different versions?
With CSN there's a lot more melodic guitar burn. I thought the version that's shown in the Big Sur film was really nice for that and the Balboa park version is much longer.

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 July 2018 12:26 (six years ago) link
you're going to be in a different context, chronologically at least and probably mentally
this different context is happening continuously, from writing the song, to demoing it, to rehearsing it, to recording it, to touring it, etc. i would even argue there is no "original context" for a song outside the abstracting of an official record release, which is still a document of a single performance.
