neil young tribute album

[meggo]

i have been hearing songs on the radio from this tribute album but the name is escaping me. there are several on amazon which look like possibilities, can someone help me out?

[bradm]

The only one I know of is "Run Neil Run" (available here) by Sisters Euclid but (IIRC) it's instrumental.

Aloha,

Brad

there was "out of the blue" (acoustic) and "into the black" (electric) released maybe 12 years ago, all canadian artists from what i remember

[meggo]

really? on amazon i see 'chrome..' something, and 'borrowed tunes.'

[Northern Wish]

Borrowed Tunes, to quote the Hold Steady, has some soaring highs and crushing lows.

[meggo]

hmmm... yesterday i heard the song "change your mind," but i forget the band that was singing it...

[DevO]

That looks like an interesting compilation. I haven't seen/heard the name Andy Curran in a loooooong time.

[Rob Not Bob]

The CD you are thinking of, Meggo, is Borrowed Tunes 2, a new compilation CD that is a sequel to the first borrowed tunes ... Amazon is refusing to give me a track listing.

Chrome Dreams 2 is the latest Neil Young CD and it is quite wonderful (don't try to find the first Chrome Dreams on Amazon, it was never released, although I do have a bootleg by that same name.)

I haven't heard Borrowed Tunes 2 but have had the first volume for ages. while there are a few mutts, in my book it is well worth having for the versions of I've Been Waiting For You, Human Highway, Birds, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Look Out For My Love, Pocahontas and especially the Breits doing Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing.

[AD]

Pocahontas is awesome on this. I used to love Michelle McAdorey, and now get to see Cripps fairly often with Kathleen Edwards. Good musicians. Look out For My Love by hHead is great as well.

[Swan]

I've always liked "The Bridge", an early tribute album to Neil with Sonic Youth doing Computer Age and I think the Flaming Lips cover Goldrush.

I remember when the first Borrowed Tunes came out Big Sugar used to play a mean When You Dance.
