Searching for a reliable guide to Neil Young covers, I stumble upon a wildly popular site that tracks all rock covers ever: Cover Me.
For music fans, this is not to be missed.
Are you unconvinced? You want an example?
Okay, how about a wonderful Wilco cover of a great song by Neil Young in his Buffalo Springfield days?
Here's the full list of Wilco covers from the site, including Broken Arrow, by this amazingly wide-ranging band, of originals from everyone from The Carter Family to T. Rex.
And here's the band, with guitar wiz Nels Cline lounging against an amp, and mastermind Jeff Tweedy about to sing from the bottom of his gruff heart.
The Web: un-freaking-believable.
Thanks for promoting Cover Me! Could you please remove the direct link to the MP3 though? It taxes the servers. Feel free to host the MP3 yourself or link to the relevant post for people to download there.

Hey, I’m just glad one of my links can tax a server. (Kidding, kidding.)
Thanks for providing an alternative: am going to do as you suggest right now…and with luck will come up with a good submission for you in the future.
