Jam of the Week ... Neil Young "Down By the River"

Today I would like to provide you with my "Jam of the Week" ... I think every Monday I'll share a really great song that I love

This week's jam of the week comes from Neil Young ...

In 1969 Neil Young released the song "Down By the River" on the album "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" ... Neil was 24 at the time and even though it was written so long ago he still plays it at shows today ... It's a long song, but well worth the listen ... it has some of my favorite guitar work from him ... well, here you go!

Almost 40 years later, Neil still destroys this song!



Hope you enjoyed the song and all!

Coming up this week, I'll be doing a couple short posts like this for:

Musical Artist of the Week
and
Album of the Week

Also, at some point I'll post the first mix (it's taking longer than I thought to compile all my thoughts and such ... the first mix I'm posting is a countdown of my top 20 favorite Musicians/Artists of all time, so look forward to that!

As a little bonus ... take us out Neil!!!

A New Direction

Hello out there, so, this blog is going a new direction ...

I love making Mix Cd's a lot! So, what I'm planning on doing is posting about these Mix Cd's and providing you, the reader, with the track list, a link so you can download the mix, and a few bonus things like my commentary and maybe some videos of the songs or something AWESOME ...

Also, I might begin blogging about other stuff too besides music ...

I hope you enjoy it

much love to you and yours,

Brian
