Heart of Gold revisited


"Heart of Gold" is a treasure.
Jane Weaver's version of that song, is undoubtedly one the best covers of all but, it is shamefully forgotten even in covers lists about this song. It was recorded in 2010 for the album Harvest Revisited released by Mojo Magazine in February 2011, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Harvest.

On 21st September 2024, Neil Young performed "Heart of Gold" at Farm Aid.

And here, Neil Young again, playing it at BBC Radio Theatre, London, on 23th February 1971. This BBC concert was included in the album "Harvest 50th Anniversary Edition" released on December 2, 2022.

For the Turnstiles, 10 years after

10 years ago the Be Good Tanyas released their album "Hello Love" with this amazing cover from Neil Young's song "For the Turnstiles".
I firstly listened to it only one year later, when António Sérgio started his daily radio shows Viriato 25 at Radar Radio. Back then António Sérgio was giving great highlight to the brand new "Like a Hurricane", a tribute album to Neil Young. He particularly loved to play to this BGTs cover included in that new compilation.

Don't know when this session happened but the "Tanyas" shared it yesterday on their Facebook page, sounding as well as ten years ago on Hello Love studio album :)

neil young - powderfinger


Getting home this morning with my Timmy's coffee and the smell of wet cedar all around, this song came on. A totally Canadian moment.
