It was Danny Whitten who sung the Wooooooo during the solo towards the end and it Was Danny Whitten who was singing the song with Neil supplying the backup. Little known fact but true.

This is an awesome number, but the acoustic version is even better in my opinion.

My all time favorite NY song! Probably stems from listening to this way stoned back in the day.  Great hand claps! |

When I hear this song I always think of an old girlfriend of mine with red hair who was a little, should I say, spicy. I hope she's happy and doing well. Man I love this song...

All that and the delightful 'oooooooo' that the man with no voice sings halfway through the solo. Absolutely first class, perhaps the best NY song of all; anyone who says it should be longer misses the point ... this is perfect in the way short songs like the Velvet's 'Rock and Roll' and 'Sweet Jane' are .... which, coincidentally are also practically 'one-chord' songs sung by a man with no voice ... |

i love this song, but when Miles Davis called Steve Miller a "note-playin' mofo", this is not what he meant! |

Songwriting is this guy's gift....makes up for his "not so easy" voice. Love his stuff....

This is my highest - rated Neil song here.
I love the one note guitar solo.
I still dislike his singing.

Never really appreciated Neil Young until I started playing guitar and writing songs a few years ago. This album, along with HARVEST and AFTER THE GOLD RUSH, are all brilliant.

1969. Neil was a year or two out of leaving the Buffalo Springfield. Amazing to think his career is coming up on 40 years and still going strong. |

C'mon, while Neil does repeat a single note in several places on this song, the rhythm guitar and bass of Crazy Horse, along with the hauntingly evocative lead work of Neil Young on this piece and also on "Down By The River" are remarkably unique.

You misunderstand me. I love that guitar solo. It's a mark of Neil Young's artistry that he is basically playing one note but make it sound like a true guitar solo. You can put a lot of soul into one note, if you've got a lot of soul to give. |

And by the way, coolest exit of any song in history. Except maybe that old INXS video when the drummer throws his sticks in the air and gets up from the kit and walks away. Remember that one? Back in the old Flock of Seagulls and Radio Clash video days? When MTV actually played music?

I think you are off-base. I think, like Mick, he's talking about Brown Sugar.

I totally agree. It's not Neil's expertise on the guitar but the emotion he can squeeze out of it that is clear on this and Down By The River. I once read he was in bed with the flu and wrote both songs in about 20 minutes. Something to be said for a NyQuil high. My group plays both songs and they are always big fun.

Heh heh. You know, until you mentioned it, I never realized it is only a single note he plays there. Nevertheless it fits in the song perfectly.
