Latest Neil Young archival set documents an early, raw, and potent Crazy Horse
, where Nelson sings backup on “Cinnamon Girl.” Those harmonies — simultaneously honeyed and gravelly, providing just enough support without overshadowing, yet so powerful and full of potential — echoes Whitten. He’s the spirit of Crazy Horse that never really went away.
“Every musician has one guy on the planet that he can play with better than anyone else,” Young once said. “You only get one guy. My guy was Danny Whitten.” Whitten died of an overdose of alcohol and valium in November 1972. This was so long ago that it occurred just a year after Jim Morrison, and, remarkably, before Nick Drake and Gram Parsons. Like those artists, we usually associate Whitten with his death.
You can hear that raw, Whitten-forward “Cinnamon Girl” here, which was originally released as a 7” single. There’s also the mythical Crazy Horse version of “Helpless,” available to the public for the first time; Young scrapped and re-recorded it with CSNY for. And finally, a moment for the criminally underrated “Winterlong,” a fan favorite that the Pixies covered and Young eventually released on thecompilation.
