Neil Young Covers

Neil Young is an artist who gets covered a whole lot. He has written so many great songs and a lot of artists recognize that and perform them. I wanted to start an ongoing place to share excellent covers of Neil Young songs.

“Harvest Moon” in particular is one that everybody plays. I’ll start with one I just came across from Sierra Ferrell. She is just too cool.

How about Dinosaur Jr. with Jason Isbell doing “Cortez the Killer”? Two excellent artists coming together to jam on a classic Neil tune.

Also, here’s me and Neil on November 3rd, 1991:

Beck doing “Old Man”

Built to Spill – “Cortez the Killer”

Maybe the best cover of this song I’ve heard. Such a rad band.

Not my favorite WSP version of this Neil song, but still solud:
