Others only landed in the last year or two. Some of the covers below came out near 50 years ago themselves. Neil hasn’t slowed down in his own age, and neither has the flow of new covers. He gets covered about as much as any songwriter alive, and about as well too. We could have quite easily listed the best 50 covers of “Heart of Gold” or “Like a Hurricane” alone. At 50 songs, it’s our longest to date (tied only with The Rolling Stones) and still barely scratches the surface. We hope this list would pass muster with him. Even in his professional infancy, decades before Pono and the Neil Young Archives, he was a stickler for quality control. It had initially landed without much fanfare the previous November, only for Young to quickly pull it from shelves due to what he deemed a subpar mix.
Well, technically he re-released it that day.
Neil Young released his self-titled debut solo album on January 22, 1969.
