I am listening to the Audiobook of Neil's Autobiography.  Very entertaining and highly recommended.  http://www.amazon.com/Waging-Heavy-Peace/dp/B009GBUR0C

Probably, but I read that Carol Kaye played on this album also. There is is a lot of tasty bass work on the album as a whole. 

This is the 1st Neil Young song I heard as a teen back in the day. Been a fan ever since...

wow, this is the first neil young song that didn't trigger an instant repulsion but maybe it's coz i was busy with other stuff :p

Interesting now I heard as a Canadian he dedicated a version to the Blue Jays called "The Homer"...
Always loved his Harvest album and early stuff.

 One of my all time favorite Neil Young tunes. I give it an 8.

Saw the new Concert Film "Neil Young Journeys' by Jonathan Demme last night at Slamdance.

One man show at Massey in Toronto. Excellent performance and film - look for it!

Yeah, a boxed set would cause hernias everywhere. As prolific and varied as Dylan.

That first solo album of his is underrated.

Years ago Neil did a version of this for an Adult Film. He called it, "The Boner"
He was much younger back then

That sums it up very succintly.  I'd turn this up if it wasn't after midnight and my poor neighbors (who both work at the mines) didn't need their sleep.  And I love the album cover.  I love Neil Young's music.

So fine, so fine.

Recalls awesome A.M. radio summers from the deep, deep past. (1968, dudes!) Love Neil.

Neil is always great to hear!

Now they just need to fix the info for this song. Its from his self titled album and was released in 1969 not '77...

That would make the song title quite apt.

Great Song! I saw him do this live many, many moons ago.....The LP still gets played

Jeez, he's not that bad, is he?  I love playing his stuff in my bands - Cinnamon Girl, Down By the River, Like a Hurricane, Rockin'
in the Free World, For the Turnstiles, Out on the Weekend, etc.  Yeah, we like Neil!

No, only a 10-disc set - The Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1.  Probably a few more volumes to come!

Yes,,step aside,here we go,,,,,

Whoops, the eponymous album preceded CSNY (of course.) I guess it was his first "solo" after Buffalo Springfield. Wow, what a body of work. (The Wikepedia discography says there are 33 studio and 6 live albums—granted a good amount of retreads in there but an awesome amount of new materials in various approaches to "Rock." I don't see that there has yet been an omnibus compendium, but that would be a pretty 20-30 disc boxed set.)

This song (when I heard it on Young's eponymous "solo" album — i.e., after CSNY) made me realize he wasn't just good, he was Neil Young. Absolutely, utterly confirmed by Crazy Horse, but the eponymous album preceded Crazy Horse (I checked), and it was something else. (I still think The Old Laughing Lady is way up the list of Young's stuff.)

Decade is an awesome compilation of his early stuff. If you don't own it, hop on that link, cop one from Amazon, and do yourself and Bob a favor.

Wow is right — I had nearly forgotten this song, but it immediately came back to me with the opening chords. Obvious Buffalo Springfield sound still present at this point.

Wow, this album (the original Neil Young, not the Decade) was on my turntable all the time my frosh year in college. Great memories!

neil is great unless he is talking..........
