I usually like Natalie Merchant, but this rendition of Neil Young's classic just doesn't do it for me. It seems to lack passion. Who knows, it may grow on me. 6 for now.

One of Neil's all time greats, and this is a beautiful rendition. I bet Neil loves it

I believe her beautiful voice finally gives these lovely lyrics their moment in the sun.

Love Natalie's voice and love this song, but this cover?
Not so much. Wholly uninspiring.

I like this version. And hats-off for playing Natalie Merchant in the first place. Question is, do you have the balls to play Hateful Hate (10k)?

I can't say I care for merchant's singing at all - especially on this classic track.
Lang's version of Neil's song is soooo much better.

Shelt: I will give your advice a shot, as I prefer the original greatly over this version, but this was the first time I heard this version. On that note, I do have to say the comment directly below yours, by xarlos, if I recall correctly, did make me laugh out loud in my office upon reading it. |

did she do it in the exact same key? - her voice actually sounds lower than Neil's

Natalie Merchant has a voice like a big tall glass of Pepto-Bismal - all thick and pink and makes me want to take a dump not long after.

Kind of a dreamy rendition. Very nice, brings the song home for me.
But IMHO, it's hard to beat the instrumental that the duo of Michaels (Hedges and Mannering) created.
Whoa boy ...

I like Natalie, and not a bad cover, but really just sounds like she needed to fill out a set. Nothing new, nothing special.

this is the best cover I've heard from her in years...but then again, I'd like this song even if Elmo were singing.

Sorry Ms. Merchant, but your voice ruins the song for me....  |
