[...] something that was no more evident than the last time we caught up with the band: Joel Graves reflecting on his favorite lesser known tracks in the Neil Young catalog. Today we catch up with Elijah Thomson as he riffs on his favorite Richard [...]

It was kinda like that. An experience I'll never forget, for sure. Speaking of Levon and Rick, make sure to check out today's 45 on Derek's Daily... stellar!

revolution blues has always been my favorite neil young rocker. of course that’s danko & helm. its like getting your shoulders rubbed from behind by whom you think is a stranger, turn around and its your girlfriend.

I don’t if you knew but Everest was going to be the original name for Abbey Road before they changed their mind and went the classic way. Random thought…

Free “Love/Art Blues” now!

Fascinating song. And yes, “Change Your Mind” is Young at his recent best…he’s one of the rare rockers who can make good music out of maturity.

To this list I must be added at least one favorite:

The version of “Expecting to Fly” found on the live at Massey Hall disc of a couple of years ago is one of Young’s most moving songs…the Buffalo Springfield version, with strings and God knows what else, is fun, but for real feeling, stick with Neil solo. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Wow! I’d love to do a road trip from New York to Alaska with Joel. Our mixed tapes might be identical! I would add to his wonderful list:

Time Fades Away album
Pushed It Over the End – CSNY live 1974 (unreleased)
Don’t Say You Win, Don’t Say You Loose – from aborted Homegrown album (unreleased)
Through My Sails – Zuma, originally for the ill-fated CSNY Human Highway project
Hey Babe – Stars ‘n Bars
Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleeze – Reactor
Interstate – B-side of Big Time; leftover from Ragged Glory sessions
My Heart – Sleeps With Angels
Theme from Dead Man – promotional version from the credits; not on the soundtrack
Without Rings – Silver and Gold
