Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young) [Verse 1] I want to live With a cinnamon girl I could be happy The rest of my life With a cinnamon girl [Chorus] A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together Chasing the moonlight My cinnamon girl [Verse 2] Ten silver saxes A bass with a bow The drummer relaxes And waits between shows For his cinnamon girl [Chorus] [Outro] Pa sent me money now I'm going to make it somehow I need another chance You see your baby loves to dance Yeah yeah yeah 37 "Cinnamon Girl" debuted on the 1969 album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, which was also Young's first album with backing band Crazy Horse. Released as a single the following year, it reached #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. Like two other songs from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Down by the River", Young wrote "Cinnamon Girl" while he was suffering from the flu with a high fever at his home in Topanga, California. This song displays the very prominent role played by Danny Whitten in the sound of Young's early recordings. The vocals are a duet, with Whitten singing the high harmony against Young's low harmony. (The 45 rpm single mix of the song, in addition to being in mono and cutting off the guitar outro, features Whitten's vocal more prominently than the album version.) Young performed the song on his then-recently acquired Gibson Les Paul, "Old Black". The lyrics have the singer daydreaming for a girl to love, singing that he waits "between shows" for his lover. Young has claimed that he wrote the song "for a city girl on peeling pavement coming at me through Phil Ochs' eyes playing finger cymbals. It was hard to explain to my wife." The city girl playing finger cymbals is a reference to folk singer Jean Ray. 38 .

"Funky Days Are Back Again": Reading Seventies Nostalgia In
“Funky Days Are Back Again”: Reading Seven ties Nostalgia in Late-Nineties Rock Music David Sigler Observers of North American and British popular culture witnessed a strange and richly interesting phenomenon unfold between 1995 and 1999. During this period, the culture industry and its creative talent insistently described itself through Sev enties imagery. The period oversaw the theatrical release of Jackie Brown, 54, and Velvet Goldmine as well as the television debut of That 970s Show, The State's “Barry and Levon,” and the Travoltaesque Jack and Steve Butabi on Saturday Night Live. In response to our appetite for Seventies icons, formerly popular bands like the Sex Pistols, Steely Dan, Page and Plant, the Bee Gees, and the Guess Who scrambled to re-form after twenty-year hiatuses. Costumed hard-rockers Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, working in the tradition of Alice Cooper and KISS, became high school anthem-bearers. It seems that the late Nineties endured a flood of Seventies imagery across its popular media. In an effort to reexamine the mechanics of popular nostalgia, this essay will engage only a small—but astonishing—corner of this phenomenon: the present- looking Seventies nostalgia of the late Nineties in rock music. Although nostalgia had always been a valuable property for the culture industry, a distinct strain emerged during the late Nineties: whereas traditional forms of commercial nostalgia have re-branded “pastness” and descriptions of previous times as stable entities to be sold to anxious and possibly aging consumers, the new “present-looking” nos talgia did not seek to repackage the Seventies as such.

Neil Youngs Harvest Free
FREE NEIL YOUNGS HARVEST PDF Sam Inglis | 128 pages | 30 Oct 2003 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826414953 | English | London, United Kingdom Harvest (Neil Young album) - Wikipedia It topped the Billboard album chart [2] for two weeks, and spawned two hit singles, " Old Man ", which peaked at No. The record was a massive hit, producing a US number one single in "Heart of Gold". Other songs returned to some usual Young themes: " The Neil Youngs Harvest and the Damage Done " was a lament for great artists who had been addicted to heroinincluding Crazy Horse bandmate Danny Whitten ; "Alabama" was "an unblushing rehash of ' Southern Man '"; [5] to which southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their hit " Sweet Home Alabama " in reply, stating "I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around, anyhow". Young later wrote of "Alabama" in his autobiography Waging Heavy Peacesaying it Neil Youngs Harvest deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue. It has a typical Neil Young structure consisting of Neil Youngs Harvest chords during the multiple improvised solos. The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that the record "put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there. The recording of the remainder of Harvest was notable for the spontaneous and serendipitous way it Neil Youngs Harvest together.

Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young
music Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young s a junior in high school I found myself humming along to Neil Young’s “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold” whenever the local classic Arock station decided to take a break from Aerosmith or Boston or AC/ DC. Senior year I’d take the scenic route home from football practice while blaring Harvest Moon in the used Mustang I shared with my older brother, driving past the cornfields just as the setting sun made them glow and feeling nostalgic for the innocence I had yet to lose. First semester of college I was getting high to his 1969 self-titled solo debut, and by spring I waited for rainy days to wallow in my loneliness with the haunting On the Beach, playing it over and over on an old turntable of my father’s that I had restored. In accordance with the natural progression of other Neil faithfuls, it wasn’t until I had exhausted this mostly acoustic, more accessible singer/songwriter side of Neil Young that I was able to graduate to an appreciation of his electric work—the highest and most challenging level a Neil faithful can reach. And it took me even longer to fall in love with it. Only recently have I begun to figure out why: his style of playing, with its wailings and repetitions and clutter and incoherence, is my style of speaking. Like his guitar, I stutter. The phonetic makeup of the word itself seems cruel, stutter, in that its intonation peaks at the difficult and forceful “t” sound—a voiceless alveolar stop produced by blocking airflow in the vocal tract—and therefore prevents sufferers from cleanly vocalizing what’s afflicting them, rather like the blatantly onomatopoeic lisp.

Neil Young + Promise of the Real Confirmed for Tinderbox in Denmark
Neil Young + Promise of the Real 2019-03-13 10:00 CET Neil Young + Promise of the Real confirmed for Tinderbox in Denmark The Canadian legend will play his only Scandinavian show this summer in Odense and will be joined on the poster by seminal Danish act The Savage Rose It finally happened! After many months of hard work, the deal is finally in place with one of rock's biggest names – the legendary Neil Young. This is the rock icon's only show in Scandinavia on this tour, and for his first concert at Tinderbox Neil Young will be backed by his friends in Promise of the Real. From his time in Buffalo Springfield over the records with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the many high points that have been released since the late 60s, Neil Young has stood out as one of the most important voices in rock. He is a member of the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame both as a solo artist and as a member of Buffalo Springfield, he has been involved in the founding of both Farm Aid and Bridge School concerts, and he has been nicknamed The Godfather of Grunge. An early highlight of Neil Young's career was the beautiful album "Harvest", which not only went to number one in the United States, but also became the best-selling album that year. The album is today considered to be one of the best releases of the 70’s, and 20 years later the album received a companion piece in the form of "Harvest Moon", which impressively is almost as highly regarded among reviewers and fans.
