This is my cover of 'After the Goldrush' by NY. I set out to do it simply and differently, and it's not much more than 2 mins long. The main guitar was recorded to tracks 1 and 2 to maintain the stereo panning effect. Then there's some tremelo guitar and three layers of vocal. That's quite enough covers for one week, so back to the writing.. ! :D
I've always like this song of Neil's. Hopefully this doesn't take so many liberties that it ruins it.

Great cover! Keep meaning to get some Neil Young and this has persuaded me.
Also love your signature Greeny. I've got that lyric engraved on a zippo that my girlfriend bought me :)

What a way to breath fresh life into such a great classic like this. I am getting into a big time Neil Young mood here. Time to pull out all the old CDs and listen non-stop for about three weeks!!!!!!!! Your vocals are smooth and subtle and beautiful. I am going to add some harmonica to your "Heart of Gold", I hope it works out!!!!

Nice! Very nice, Greeny! Excellent vocals, and a beautiful tremolo twin guitar sound! You made this song your own, and how many can say that about a Neil Young song?
WELL DONE!!! :D

I love your vocal interpretation on this one but I do find the stereo panning effect a bit distracting (I'm listening thru headphones). If you could slow it down or make it a bit more subtle that would help me. But I love the vox and harmonies.
