See below for the full tracklisting and more\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1 Phosphorescent
Ambulance Blues<\/strong>
We begin this \u2013 if we say so ourselves \u2013 stellar new tribute to Neil Young with one of his most totemic songs. As the closer to 1974\u2019s On The Beach<\/em><\/strong>, it\u2019s certainly an ambitious track to take on, but Phosphorescent nail their own version without losing the magic of Young\u2019s recording. Here, Matthew Houck is on guitar, vocals and harmonica, Jo Schornikow is on organ, Jack Lawrence handles the bass, and Dominic Billett the drums, while Rich Ruth\u2019s electric guitar echoes the fiddle line of the original before lifting off into starry space.<\/p>\n

2 J Mascis
On The Way Home<\/strong>
Recorded at his home studio by Mascis alone, this is a fiery version of the opener to Buffalo Springfield<\/strong>\u2019s final album, 1968\u2019s Last Time Around<\/em><\/strong>. As found on various live albums, from Massey Hall 1971 to The Riverboat 1969, this was a favourite of Young\u2019s in his early acoustic guise; here, though, Mascis makes it sound like a lost Dinosaur Jr track with peals of echoed electric guitar. Ear-bleeding country, indeed, in tribute to its originator.<\/p>\n

3 Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory
Helpless<\/strong>
Recorded on the road in the UK \u2013 during soundcheck at Newcastle\u2019s Boiler Shop, to be exact \u2013 this is an expansive, beautiful version of one of Young\u2019s most covered works. Van Etten\u2019s vocals are as luminous as ever, backed by Devra Hoff\u2019s bass, Jorge Balbi\u2019s drums, Teeny Lieberson\u2019s synthesizer and backing vocals and Shanna Polley\u2019s guitar and harmonies \u2013 support act Angie McMahon is also drafted in on vocals to bolster the rich refrain at its close.<\/p>\n

4 Mike Cooley
Albuquerque<\/strong>
Patterson Hood and Jay Gonzalez contributed to our album of Dylan covers, 2021\u2019s Dylan Revisited<\/em>, with a peerless version of \u201cBlind Willie McTell\u201d; here, a different Trucker has taken on this dark ballad from \u201975\u2019s Tonight\u2019s The Night<\/em><\/strong>. Featuring just his acoustic guitar and vocals, Cooley\u2019s version of \u201cAlbuquerque\u201d is melancholic and magical, the sparse arrangement perfectly highlighting the desolation in Young\u2019s lyrics: \u201cI\u2019ve been flyin\u2019 down the road\/And I\u2019ve been starvin\u2019 to be alone\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

5 Kurt Vile With The Sadies
White Line<\/strong>
Some of Young\u2019s most devoted fans team up here, with Philly\u2019s Kurt Vile and Toronto\u2019s The Sadies trying their hand at this raw take on the Ragged Glory <\/em><\/strong>highlight. There are a clutch of different Young versions of the song flying around, including a noisy \u201975 recording and an acoustic take with Robbie Robertson, which surfaced on Homegrown. Vile and The Sadies take something of a middle ground, with Travis Good\u2019s distorted guitar offset by Vile\u2019s twinkling, phased acoustic and the steady, light touch of rhythm section Mike Belitsky and Sean Dean.<\/p>\n

6 Margo Cilker
Comes A Time (feat. Humbird)<\/strong>
The Californian singer-songwriter seems to have picked the perfect song for her craft here: an optimistic hymn in hard times, the lilting country title track of one of Young\u2019s most welcoming, lushest records. Nicolette Larson\u2019s backing vocals elevate the original, and here Humbird aka Siri Undlin provides harmonies, with Rose Cangelosi on drums, Jeremy Ferrara on electric guitar, Eric Heywood on pedal steel and Forrest Vantuyl on bass.<\/p>\n

7 Chris Eckman
Borrowed Tune<\/strong>
The former Walkabouts leader and now solo artist presents a gorgeous and eerie take on this sparse piano ballad, his acoustic guitar and vocals shrouded by the electric guitar, effects and synth of engineer and musician Alastair McNeill. Already desperate and despairing, this Tonight\u2019s The Night<\/em><\/strong> cut is given even great mystery and charm in Eckman\u2019s version.<\/p>\n

8 Coca Leaves & Pearls feat Chris Forsyth
Lookout Joe<\/strong>
Another Tonight\u2019s The Night<\/em><\/strong> song, this rollocking bar-band delight was recorded three years earlier, and here is given a new lease of life by Chris Forsyth\u2019s Young tribute group. As can be heard, they\u2019re faithful to the original arrangements, but give the songs a fluid spin of their own that won\u2019t be a surprise to those familiar with Forsyth\u2019s other work. He\u2019s on guitar and vocals, with John Murray on guitar, Joey Sullivan on drums and Jordan Burgis on bass, Wurlitzer and backing vocals.<\/p>\n

9 Joan Shelley & Nathan Salsburg
Little Wing<\/strong>
Like Gillian Welch and David Rawlings before them, Joan Shelley and Nathan Salsburg are masters at interpreting the songs of others as well as their own \u2013 just check out their \u201cDark Eyes\u201d on our Dylan Revisited<\/em> comp. Here they turn their acoustic craft to this fragile, compact Young composition, originally recorded in January 1975 and first appearing on 1980\u2019s Hawks & Doves<\/em><\/strong>, before seeing inclusion on 2020\u2019s Homegrown<\/em><\/strong> release.<\/p>\n

10 Orcutt Shelley Miller
A Man Needs A Maid<\/strong>
All of this indie-rock supergroup \u2013 pioneering guitarist Bill Orcutt, Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and bassist and vocalist Ethan Miller \u2013 are fans of Young\u2019s work, and it shows: this is a fiery but tender version of the Harvest <\/em><\/strong>track. With the original recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, Orcutt Shelley Miller replace the bombast of the strings and horns with sweeping synth strings and the thorny barrage of Orcutt\u2019s lead guitar.<\/p>\n

11 MJ Lenderman & The Wind
Lotta Love (Live)<\/strong>
Recorded at the London Roundhouse on August 15 this year, Jake Lenderman and his band The Wind pay a beautifully loose tribute to Young with this take on the Comes A Time<\/em><\/strong> song. The track was originally recorded with Crazy Horse in October 1976, and the band \u2013\u00a0Lenderman, Colin Miller, Landon George, Ethan Baechtold\u00a0and Jon Samuels \u2013 perfectly channel Neil and the Horse\u2019s mix of relaxed vibes and quicksilver electric guitar.<\/p>\n

12 Spencer Cullum\u2019s Coin Collection with Rich Ruth & Annie Williams
See The Sky About To Rain<\/strong>
With its prominent pedal steel, it\u2019s no wonder that the second track from On The Beach<\/em><\/strong> was the chosen piece for crack steel player Spencer Cullum: however, the Nashville-based Englishman turns it into a hushed, tender and experimental recording, something like Robert Wyatt lifting off into the stratosphere on a pillow of Fripp-like guitar tones (courtesy of Rich Ruth, making his second appearance on an On The Beach<\/em> track here) and burbling, Eno-esque synths.<\/p>\n

13 Bonnie \u201cPrince\u201d Billy
Cortez The Killer<\/strong>
Will Oldham has referenced Young a couple of times before \u2013 the cover of 2009\u2019s Beware, for instance, is a lovely tribute to Tonight\u2019s The Night<\/em>\u2019s own gloomy artwork \u2013 but he really pulls off something special with this acoustic, home-recorded version of the Zuma<\/em><\/strong> epic. Here Oldham\u2019s on his back porch, wind chimes swaying, transforming the essence of Young and Crazy Horse\u2019s mighty original into something deeply personal.<\/p>\n

14 Kassi Valazza
One Of These Days<\/strong>
In yet another case of an artist performing a song as if it was written for them, comes Valazza\u2019s version of this song from Young\u2019s 1992 LP Harvest Moon<\/em><\/strong>. Featuring just the Arizonan singing and strumming her Gibson acoustic, it\u2019s something special. Valazza performed this track\u00a0as part of The state51 Conspiracy\u2019s Factory Sessions: to watch the full performance and more visit\u00a0youtube.com\/@state51<\/a>.<\/p>\n

15 Tired Eyes
Words (Between The Lines Of Age) (Live)<\/strong>
Alan Sparhawk has been playing with a host of groups since the end of Low: there have been collaborations with Trampled By Turtles, of course, and his work in Derecho Rhythm Section, Damien, Feast Of Lanterns and more. But he\u2019s also been paying tribute to Young in Tired Eyes, a four-piece who have been playing out for a good few years now. It\u2019s a pleasure to end the album on this epic from a Tired Eyes performance at St Paul\u2019s Turf Club, with Sparhawk on vocals and guitar, Kraig Johnson on bass, Glen Mattson on drums and Rich Mattson on guitar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
