Titles: Out there - / - After the goldrush
Mojo recently devoted its cover to Neil Young for the forty years of the album Harvest . On this occasion, they produced a list of fifty "best" songs selected and with commentary by journalists and celebrities, including Howe Gelb, who referred to arcade Music, a title he has a cover sublime. I reported this to the story because we know that these rankings are as valuable as a poll allegedly conducted in good and due form, but Music Arcade finds himself at the very bottom of the table and it After The goldrush is No. 1. That at least allowed me to learn this song, like much of the album was inspired by a screenplay by Dean Stockwell and Herb Berman for a film that never happened. The theme the song remains enigmatic, but it obviously turned around ecology.
For years I refused to be interested in this period of Neil Young. Full new wave, I rejected particularly Harvest, which I thought was a typically hard hippies. I changed my mind since, and when I saw After the goldrush on the record sleeve of an unknown group, my curiosity was aroused and I took it. I do not know anything about this group, and at first view the scale model, I even thought it was called Out There and the A side was After the goldrush . In fact, Prelude is an English band and this is his first 45 laps, taken from their debut album How Long Is Forever? . Side A
Out there has all the attributes of the folk-rock song, between the Byrds and Fairport Convention , but there is something wrong, a rhythm a little lame, the ingredients do not mix well and it is frankly not a success.
is awaiting a bus that members of Prelude began to sing After the goldrush . That they liked and they recorded this great a cappella version, more Crosby Stills-Nash & Young-CSNY than themselves, which quickly found itself facing a A second edition of the 45 laps because it is this title which was a hit in Britain and the United States in 1974. It is also virtually the only tube Prelude , apart Platinum blonde in 1980, but it was twice as a new version was also ranked in the English charts in 1982.
In preparing this post, I (re) discovered with great surprise that I had since August 2008 in my iTunes version of After the goldrush by ... Nana Mouskouri! Nana was certainly inspired by the success of Prelude to include its version, also has cappella cover album in its Nana's book of songs appeared in the same year 1974. It's weird, but when she sings in English Nana gives me the impression of having a lisp (Nana has often performed this song on stage, as here in Monte Carlo in 1981 ). In style, it's worth the cover of Still I'm sad the Yardbirds by The Companions Chanso n in 1965 under the title Ravens winter . This is the version that Patrick French Eudeline has performed live in Perpignan in September 2005, accompanied by Pascal Comelade .
A live version of 'After the goldrush 1984.
