I just found this song; it reminded me of my young guitar playing days going back to Georgia from L.A California with my older brother to pick up his wife to be after he was discharged from the service back in '72! he drove, I sang. I'm gonna re-live those days and pick up my guitar and dedicate it to him, he's a VietNam veteran and like so many, has had a hard life. I hope he remembers and I'll play it for him. Neil has so many heart tugging songs! Thanks Neil; great times and memories!
Thanks for the kind words and thanks again for posting this song..... I'm working out the kinks on this tune and I'll post it soon.....my voice is trailing away, the hands can't play sometimes but I do okay for an old rocker!
Love the song... beautifully Neil.. but can anyone give the definitive answer on who backed him vocally.... was it Linda or Nicolette... or both perhaps?
@AccidentalSkydiver - "A track from the 'Comes a Time' sessions featuring Nicolette Larson: "Sail Away", was included on the otherwise live Neil Young album Rust Never Sleeps released in 1979." I read that somewhere, and it sounds like Nicolette to me and doesn't sound like Linda Ronstadt. Not sure if this is the definitive answer, but I gave it my best try!
such a great tune

There's a road
stretched out between us
Like a ribbon on the high plain
Down from Phoenix through Salinas
'Round the bend and back again.

@sidDkid87 I agree, among his other numerous talents Neil is a hell of a lyricist. And I'm gratified you put my vid in your playlist
