Today you can hear two tracks from the forthcoming album. Grammy-nominated Australian musician Courtney Barnett brings her trademark vocals for “Lotta Love”. Also out today is previous Neil Young opener Chris Pierce’s powerful cover of “Southern Man”.
Speaking about her song choice, Barnett says, “‘Lotta Love’ is one of my favourite Neil songs and the lyrics feel especially relevant at this moment in history. It’s a real honour to be part of this tribute helping to raise funds for The Bridge School.”
Pierce also spoke about his contribution, saying, “Time and time again, I’m reminded of the power of Neil Young’s songs. I’m reminded every time I spin one of his albums at home, when his songs play on the radio, and this was particularly evident when I recently had the honor of being the opening act for his solo tour. When I was presented with the privilege to be a part of ‘Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young’ his impactful song ‘Southern Man’ came to me in a dream. The early morning session at Village Recorders, gallantly led by producers David Resnik and Niko Bolas was an experience that I’ll never forget. I felt that the spirits of my ancestors visited us in the studio during the recording of this song, and I was in tears while singing it with the soulful congregation of stellar musicians in the room.”
