[Malibuheaven1]

Fantastic!

Very nice rendition. Thanks for posting a new take on this classic.

Bull's Eye - Dave and Gillian did Ol' Neil proud !!! ... (Listen to Dave's riffs on all of Gillian's records - he cops a Neil riff at least once on each of her LP's; He's a HUGE Neil fan, I'd say ... big time)

Amazing version of an incredible song!

so beautiful

Tears...

[coaldusty]

Beautiful. Pity about people talking through it. Rude pricks..

[Namrehtulip]

Dave is very good! I love his solo record, it's the best record I've heard in years.

[Darwins8n]

Way better than the CSNY version, which, if I remember correctly, was fully orchestrated. Bravo! On Country Girl the intensity of David's voice captures the hunger of Neil's lyrics. If I would have been in the audience I believe I would have made a fool of myself with my enthusiasm.

this couple will eventually eclipse many of the great country and folk heroes that we all grew up with and love. Gillian welch is a song writing genius

@bryantjudoman wrote "this couple will eventually eclipse many of the great country and folk heroes that we all grew up with and love. Gillian Welch is a song writing genius." Agreed. except I'd add that having David step up & come into his own and Add the Old Crows ( as they have with the DR Machine album and tour) and it's just unreal. It's a good time to be a fan of real American Music. 25 years from now young people w/ taste will be saying " You saw Those shows, You're so Lucky."

LOL some said they are huge on the folk singing scene, that's HUGE huh! All those folkies, just kidding...

[Skammee]

Great version , excellent muscianship. Nice to hear David sing!

[Gibmeister7000]

Shame about the quality, cause this is an absolute gem.

They totally nailed it.

[thewilk1961]

nice.....

[rmstudio]

I think cause this was performed in such a small setting that Most Neil Young Fans are unaware of who this is performing this song.. This is no small cover band or coffee house singers. But the renowned Gillian Welch and David Rawlings with stature as Emmy Lou Harris and Steve Earl. They are huge on the scale of the folk singing scene. There songs are featured on movies and soundtracks. Playing with greats as Neil Young himself and other greats. Check them out.

Thanks for bringing up to speed those that were born last night .

[Lukabratz]

WOW!!

[Horushu]

You are a very beautiful and talented couple, perfectly interpretating one of the best songs ever written!

[JustanUnknownComic]

Being a lifelong Neil Young fan and a working musician before I started doing standup comedy, I can say with great authority and confidence that this is undoubtedly the ABSOLUTE BEST cover of "Country Girl" I have heard in my entire life!

Many, many kudos to you!

[margeekuhl]

You are great!!! You capture the moment of Neil and his country girl... I spent 30 years finding mine... Old Man... and happy!! You are...

Peace

[MartinLav]

Saw this live at the BridgeSchool Benefit 2 years ago. Neil Young stepped up and sang the Country Girl verse at the end. Awesome moment!

Who's got that vid?

[siggreta]

Nice job i love this old song i wish i was there to hear your guys sing it live.

[wealthyguardian]

[fedaykin21]

[rountreedon]
