Yeah, so I got to age 38 before I ever heard Neil Young’s Harvest. Sue me. And all because Nichol is teaching me The Needle & The Damage Done on guitar.
And I can add Old Man to my list of “Songs I thought were recent originals, but are in fact old covers”. Thought it was a Wailin’ Jennies original (I know, I should read liner notes). I thought the same of Disguises (original: The Who; cover: Of Montreal) and Waterloo Sunset (original: The Kinks; cover: Robyn Hitchcock).
One reply on “a serious omission”
mmm, harvest can’t believe you’ve never heard it. Fantastic album.
Waterloo sunset…..fab as well.
although i have to say I’ve only just started listening to Led Zeppelin and find in fact they were the major influence on many of my fave bands !
