i talk about music a lot, & have a tendency to post songs that are stuck in my head in the hope that they will get stuck in your head instead. you're welcome.
You’ve never heard “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain” quite like this. For their first album together in nine years, Neil Young and Crazy Horse have taken classic American folk music and reinvigorated these songs with muscle, radiance and a whole lot of electric guitar.
As for the song itself, Neil Young writes in the liner notes to Americana:
Written in the 1800s based on an old Negro spiritual, this song refers to the second coming of Jesus, and “she” is the chariot Jesus is coming on. Some interpret this as the end of the world. Others have said that “she” refers to union organizer Mary Harris “Mother” Jones going to promote formation of labor unions in the Appalachian coal-mining camps. The Americana arrangement continues the folk process with a new melody, a new title and a combination of lyric sources.

My favorite love song for you to share with the one you love.
Also: the 90s.

In 1966, Rick James and Neil Young were in a band together called The Mynah Birds. “It’s My Time” is their debut single, which was shelved due to James’ AWOL arrest.
It is mind-blowing in at least five different ways. Enjoy.
