Great show!
When “Needle And The Damage Done” started, I started thinking, ‘well, what’s the point in doing so close a cover’…you know, most selections are a little more cross-genre than that one. A minute later, I was totally into it. I think that it was my favorite track on this show. What a great vocal. The music/instrumentation was very close to the original, but the vocal set it apart.
I was surprised that Pearl Jam didn’t make it into this cover story; they’ve done a few Neil covers over the years.

One of my favorite Young covers is Annie Lennox performing “Don’t Let It Bring You Down.”
Great show! Call me crazy but one of my favorite songs is “Downtown” by Neil Young (I think it was on the Mirror Ball album) but the ones you chose were superb. Matthew Sweet is one of my favorite singers too.
I realize I’m posting nothing too interesting but I heard the ‘call for comments” to keep up the frequency of Coverville and I’m answering it! I love Coverville. You really know your music.
