Is there a little Big Sky Country (Chris Whitley) synth thing in here? or my imagination.

Neil Young minus the edge and angst. Not an improvement in my view. YMMV |

yet another fine example if Neil's songwriting prowess... and his UTTER INABILITY to sing... ever notice that ANYONE who can stay on pitch sounds better than Neil on HIS songs...?  |

Love this cover. Brilliantly used in American Beauty. Makes me think of the movie every time I hear it.

Most others seem to have some sort of weirdly affected tonal quality or are only capable of mastering one or two interval jumps/vocal tricks. Her voice is capable of some of these 'tricks' due to her age. The body affects a lot of changes as the years pass and some voices get much better with age. As a vocal student and passionate singer, at 42 I can do things with my voice a female vocalist in her 20s could not do. I can't wait to hear what I sound like in 20 years :) |

Neil Young Is A Hero of mine so when someone covers his stuff I tend to be skeptical. This Is a fine version from the earthy cooing of an excellent singtress!

Like, maybe, Peter Gabriel singing Johnny Cash? Or like, maybe, Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails? Oh wait - that happened!  I actually like this version as much as Neil's...and I usually like the originals waaaay more than the covers. Good job, Ms Lennox. |

I like this. I especially like the fact that Annie's voice does not need to be auto tuned.

Annie Lennox has a perfect voice for this song, I think.

Although the album info says, "American Beauty Soundtrack," it's really from an iTunes "American Beauty soundtrack" user playlist that includes "Songs that were or should have been used in the movie." I have the real American Beauty soundtrack CD, and this isn't on it (unfortunately because I like it pretty well).
