Two new volumes of ‘Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young’ gather artists including <a href="/tags/king-princess">King Princess</a>, MJ Lenderman, Ben Gibbard, Modest Mouse, Kurt Vile, My Morning Jacket and Lucinda Williams. All recordings have been donated, with proceeds supporting The Bridge School and its work with people who have severe speech and physical impairments.
King Princess opens the project with a one-take interpretation of ‘Helpless’, while Draco Rosa revisits ‘After the Gold Rush’. Tribute albums can occasionally resemble an office party where everyone has been assigned the same karaoke catalogue. This collection feels more purposeful, using Young’s songs to raise funds while allowing each artist to approach the material differently.
The two volumes arrive in November, proving there are apparently still several unexplored roads leading through Neil Young’s enormous songbook. Browse more community news in our <a href="/news">News Archive</a>.
