Neil Young - New Mama

Neil Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician and film director. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1995 and also as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997.

Young's work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and signature tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica, his clawhammer acoustic guitar style and often idiosyncratic electric guitar soloing are the linchpins of a sometimes ragged, sometimes polished sound. Although Young has experimented widely with differing music styles, including swing, jazz, rockabilly, blues, and electronic music throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into either of two distinct styles: acoustic folk/country ("Heart of Gold", "Harvest Moon" and "Old Man") and electric-charged hard rock (like "Cinnamon Girl", "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)"). In recent years, Young has adopted elements from newer styles like industrial, alternative country and grunge. Young's profound influence on the latter caused some to dub him "the Godfather of Grunge".

New mama's got a sun in her eyes
No clouds are in my changing skies
Each morning when I wake up to rise
I'm livin' in a dreamland.
Changing times,
ancient reasons,
that turn to lies
Throw them all away
Head in hand,
gift of wonders to understand
And open all the way.
New mama's got a sun in her eyes
No clouds are in my changing skies
Each morning when I wake up to rise
I'm livin' in a dreamland.

Superb acoustic by Neil with the classic CSNY harmony that is superb!

When I was living in Austin, they had a special Neil Hootenanny where bands played back to back 'On The Beach' & 'Zuma'. They were pretty damned good, too. But it got cooler. They had already planned it out that they would have time for another album, so they finished off the "dark trilogy" with 'Tonight's The Night'. Great friggin' night!

@accordionreid I went to Neil Young's home town in Omeeme, Ontario and there is a museum with several of Neil's archives. If anyone comes to Ontario, Canada and you love Neil Young, go to his hometown in Omemee which is about an hour and a half drive from Toronto and see the museum and there is a great Beatles collection there tool.

@123paddymc Yes, Chrome Dreams II is fantastic and should have won a Grammy because all the songs are some of his best works since Freedom.
