Yes, I've got it as well. I bought it because of the selection of
bands playing the songs rather than because I liked Neil Young. I'm
very impressed with it. Are they good interpretations of his songs?

I saw some good reviews of this album, I'm gonna buy when I get
back to the UK (it is out on CD?). Wasn't there another album
of covers done last year (Johnny Cash covers) with some of the same
bands on that album too.
Other similar albums, Tom Waits, Michelle Shocked, etc. covered classic
Disney Tunes ... and the NME's Sgt Pepper Knew My Father, the Beatles
album covered by Sonic Youth, Wedding Present, Billy Bragg (Wet
Wet Wet got to No. 1 with 'A Little Help From My Friends').
Check these out as well.

If anyone wants to know, the Johnny Cash LP was called something like:
'Til Things Are Brighter
- it was a charity thing for the Terence Higgins Trust. Bands included
the Mekons, Brendan Croker, Sally Timms, Michelle Shocked, Gate Bykers on
Acid, some of Voice of the Beehive, and a coupla other indie heroes whose
names escape me. It was pretty good, if a bit rootsy.
There's a Byrds tribute out now too: Dinosaur Jr, Richard Thompson, Gregson
& Collister, Robyn Hitchcock & heaps of others. I forget the title.

PS I heard the Cash LP was out of print, but soon to be reissued - any news?
