Just beautiful…He was such an icon for his time
Thank you for listening and enjoying Karima. Yes Neil has made his mark. I admire how Neil recaptured “Bright Lights Big City’ which is iconic in itself; and a connect from the original of Jimmy Reed. Neil’s choice for music is like a torch passer, repeatedly referencing historical times, by redefining social changes and under-goings, and yet inspiring more renditions to carry on the timelessness.
Love it!
Thank you so much for enjoying.
Never heard his version. Really interesting cover.
Yes it is!
There are so many others, Neil Young is one of the best!
