Unknown Legend By NEIL YOUNG (Cover)

A track from Neil's "Harvest Moon" album.

Harvest Moon is a country-rock album by Neil Young, released in 1992. Due to the abundance of musicians appearing on it who also appeared on his 1972 album Harvest, Harvest Moon is considered a pseudo-sequel to that album.

Recovering from tinnitus that had come about after the recording of 1990's Ragged Glory and its subsequent tour (which produced 1991's Weld and Arc), Young was determined to return to the studio. Returning to Nashville and joining up with compatriots like Ben Keith, Young put down the electric guitar, returning to the acoustic guitar, piano and banjo that had dominated albums such as Harvest, Comes a Time and Old Ways.

Among the track highlights are the title track, featuring the percussive sweeping of a broom, a song for which Young made a rare music video. An ode to his dog, Elvis, on "Old King" found Young plucking a banjo, while he loved, found and lost throughout songs such as "From Hank to Hendrix" and "Such a Woman".

Ann Wilson, lead singer of Heart, recorded a cover version of the song "War of Man" for her 2007 solo release Hope & Glory with Alison Krauss. Ben Gibbard, lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, sang a live cover of "Harvest Moon" on May 7th, 2007 at a show in Somerville, Mass.

"Unknown Legend" is sung a cappella by TV on the Radio's lead singer Tunde Adebimpe in the 2008 film Rachel Getting Married.

The album earned the 1994 Juno Award for album of the year. (Courtesy of wikipedia)

I do this song tuned down a whole step. Also, you will notice the timing is a bit different from they way Neil does it. Feel free to leave criticism about my varied timing. Check out my sexy boxers.

Lyrics:

She used to work in a diner




Never saw a woman look finer




I used to order just to watch her float across the floor




She grew up in a small town




Never put her roots down




Daddy always kept movin' so she did too




Somewhere on a desert highway




She rides a Harley - Davidson
Her long blond hair flyin' in the wind




She's been runnin' half her life




The chrome & steel she rides




Collidin' with the very air she breathes




The air she breathes




You know it aint easy
You got to hold on




She was an unknown legend in her time




Now she's dressing two kids




Lookin' for a magic kiss




She gets the far-away look in her eyes

Nice strumming dude! You nailed it.....guitar wise. If I could offer some criticism without hurting your ego, I'd say find your natural voice....your singing is too affected.I mean, unless you ARE trying to sound like Wayne Newton? Otherwise, keep it real.
