day 137: From Hank to Hendrix

From Hank to Hendrix, by Neil Young.

The Harvest Moon album came out near the beginning of my junior year of high school, when I was fresh off a climactic finale to the summer camp experience of my formative years and… yeah it sounds like the soundtrack to some big life change because it is!

This song was an early favorite of mine, and there are lines in it that still make me feel like an old man taking a look at my life, even if I was 16 then, and in the grand scheme of things, I’m not much older now. Does Neil Young make us all talk in clichés? Maybe. But maybe it’s alright to cheese it up sometimes for the greater good, isn’t it? Maybe.

Extra vocals, extra guitars, but I really need to do harmonica songs before the kids go to bed.
