Neil Young ~Stringman ~UNRELEASED VERSION~ vIDeo footage
Jan 10, 2011 Rock Bands
I don’t agree with the entirely of the following quote but I find it some of it interesting: “After Neil Young left the Californian folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. Young’s body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth, and he was able to sustain his critical reputation, as well as record sales, for a longer period of time than Dylan, partially because of his willfully perverse work ethic. From the beginning of his solo career in the late ’60s until the late ’90s, he never stopped writing, recording, and performing; his official catalog only represented a portion of his work, since he kept countless tapes of unreleased songs in his vaults. Just as importantly, Young continually explored new musical territory, from rockabilly and the blues to electronic music. But these stylistic exercises only gained depth when compared to his two primary styles: gentle folk and country-rock, and crushingly loud electric guitar rock, which he frequently recorded with the Californian garage band Crazy Horse. Throughout his career, Young alternated between these two extremes, and both proved equally influential; there were just as many singer/songwriters as there were grunge and country-rock bands claiming to be influenced by Neil Young.

They are often regarded as pioneers in the movement of underground do-it-yourself record labels that flourished among the 1980s punk rock bands.

Layin’ on my back In the newly mown grass Rain is coming down But I know the clouds will pass You bring me tea Say “the babe’s a-sleepin’” Lay down beside me Love ain’t for keeping Black ash from the foundry Hangs like a hood But the air is perfumed By the burning firewood The seeds are bursting The spring is seeping Lay down my darling Love ain’t for keeping Lay down beside me Love ain’t for keeping Lay down beside me Love ain’t for keeping Lay down my darling Love ain’t for keeping
