grevioustim - some good choices there. 
Will there be another STW blues/rock jam? Did enjoy that!

I'm not sure I have the skills to do the jam organising - but I'm up for it if someone wants to put in the effort of doing the backing track/ pulling it all together. We could do a country/ americana one
whilst we are doing recommendations the new album by Bonnie Prince Billy and the Cairo Gang is awesome - best of his since "Master and Everyone" I think
also Eilen Jewell and Richmond Fontaine are well worth investigating

This seems to be a god place to ask about Neil Young, Booker T & the MGs....
Some time ago (early 90s?) NY toured Europe with Booker T and the MGs as his backing band. I think the live recording was released as a sort of 'semi-official' bootleg (in Italy??). Every now and again I try to get hold of a copy but I've not been successful.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd much appreciate it.
(p.s. just had another quick search for it and it seems that NY together with the Driveby Truckers appear on Booker T's new solo album - interesting.)

Have you seen that they're touring too? Might have to catch that...

This thread is why I love this place, sod all the chat about bikes and politics, music... I just don't have the vocabulary to explain...
Anyway, yesterday I purchased After the Gold Rush and the new Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & the Cairo Gang, sorry C_G the LRS had and a weak Van selection.
Haven't had a chance to properly listen to either, but after a hard days riding with Pearce uplift in stunning weather, the cider is tasting all the sweeter because of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
Thanks for all the recommendations!

I'm gonna be boring now, one of the best Neil Young CDs I've got is simply ~ 'Neil Young, Greatest Hits'. In fact it's the only Neil Young I've got on CD, the others being on Vinyl. It's a good compilation IMO.

thanks for the heads up re Bonnie Prince Billy Tour Richpenny - I've got a couple of tickets for the London show now
I saw him a couple of years ago in Brighton. His band for that tour were amazing - they did "Full band" versions of alot of his quieter stuff - sounded like he was backed by "The Band". Really good night

+1 for Weld, had it on cassette for years, loved it so much i encoded it to mp3-labour of love! forgotten how painful it is to record in real time!

Decade might be the overall best place to start. Live at Massey Hall is an astoundingly good live set.
Stuff with Crazy Horse is a glaring omission from my collection - I think I'll go and put that right!
