Neko Case Covers Neil Young
Neko Case - “Dreamin’ Man” In 2001, Neko Case released the tour-only EP Canadian Amp, half of which consisted of covers of Canadian artists and one of whom was Neil Young. Now Young is one of the most oft-covered artists Canada has ever produced but Case selected a track that hasn’t been done to death - “Dreamin’ Man” from 1992’s Harvest Moon, a song which finds Neil at his simplest and loveliest - and she more than does it justice.
Case will release her new album Middle Cyclone this week and is touring to support. Young also has a new album out on March 31, the automotive bailout-themed concept album Fork In The Road, and considering that its rush-release has pushed the Archives set on the back burner, it may be safe to say that this could be the least-anticipated Neil Young record ever.
NPR, Chart and The National Post have interviews with Neko Case.
