Bert Jansch's song in 1965 for friend, driver, and folk singer, Buck Polly, who died of a heroin overdose. I treasured seeing Bert perform down through the years, always asking him to do his cover of Jackson C. Frank songs (Blues Run the Game, Carnival) and of course, seeing him perform as part of the Pentangle.

Heard this a couple of years after it originally came out. Fifty years on, I still fill up. Bert sometimes broke down singing it. They should play this at drugs and alcohol education classes at schools. Neil’s version is just great. 🥰

Back in 2010 I was able to see Bert Jansch when he opened for Neil. I never thought I'd get see him in concert. He died the following year.

This song is very interesting, it’s almost written from a third person, just watching and telling us an important lesson. Addiction is easy to fall into, but escaping is the hardest thing to ever do.

www.createspace.com/6177366 I'm 58, a Neil Young fan... forever, since high-school. Fans should check out ‘Emerald Eyes’ on Amazon. It’s about how Neil Young's music helped a teenager find meaning again after losing his father in a tragic mill accident. Tom, becomes distant and withdrawn throughout his adolescence but after feeling 'in tune' with Neil's music, buys a Martin D-18 guitar and secretly starts singing and writing. Great read with an unexpected 'twist' at the end. A feel good moment for Neil Young fans.

Just seems a pale, pale imitation of the original... Listen to Bert Jansch's original recording, it is at once more sparse, raw, emotional.. and played in an entirely different, virtuosic way on guitar. Guitarists will know what I mean. Beautiful song, as originally recorded, nice that someone's playing it still, but... next to Bert's original I wouldn't listen to this version ever again.
@dropover9 жыл бұрын
I disagree. Neil's version is very raw and emotional. Just listened to Bert's. It's very good of course. But the travis picking tells us right away that it's a folk song and limits it to the story telling song it is. Yes, it's moving. Neil's version brought tears to my eyes. I just sensed a sadness and an anger. Loved both of the versions.

@dropover8 жыл бұрын
+Jan Kafka Not sure what I meant by that, but I can assure you that I am not a moron anxious to have my "worthless voice" heard. The guitar playing by Bert is slick. Neil's is very basic in his version. But I don't think it was meant to be any kind of imitation of the original. It tells us it's own story with it's own reality. Sometimes people like you have a valid point but you taint it with wtf's and name calling. You lose all credibility. I don't usually answer trolls but I had to agree that my original comment needed to be challenged. Next time... be nice.
