Neil Young is one of those iconic figures that is ever present in the music mind of gen x americans, who were able to hitch on to the Young train after his all aboard but way before his cab ride home. Perhaps a tier below some of the rock and roll’s biggest hitters, but still in the dugout with them, fully able to carry their jockstraps, and especially relevant as an influence to the indie rock, grunge and alt country jet setters.  

There was a time in the 90’s when Neil reached what alcoholics might have termed “a moment of clarity,” an epiphany, perhaps the denoument of the novel that is Neil’s career. He strapped on the old Les Paul and got up on stage with none other than Pearl Jam, singing “(Keep on) Rocking in the free world.” A terrific song and built for farmertan with its easy chord changes, limited vocal range, and plodding arrangement, but no, that would be to trite and easy, so we switch it up. We choose to cover a song about a stripper, a very tan good time girl, and the man that falls in love with her for his whole life, or at least for one night???.
