Dead Man music score ranked #2

johnny-depp-in-dead-man-scored-by-neil-youngMusic Times ranks Neil Young’s “Dead Man” music score number 2 out of 7 top rock music scores of all time.

Guess which one is number 1#.

The publication writes:

“Neil Young’s score for Jim Jarmusch’s western Dead Man wasn’t actually composed. Rather, Young stood in a recording studio with some instruments and simply improvised music while watching a cut of the film. The resulting music is at times atmospheric and chaotic.”

Booker T. flashbacks touring with Neil

Booker-TBlogger RJohnson writes about the merging of Booker T. & Neil Young for a nationwide tour in 1993.

MySA, San Antonio’s homepage, features a story

The article states: “Keyboard legend Booker T. Jones has seen it all in his six-decade career, from landing a hit with the instrumental ‘Green Onions’ in 1962 at the tender age of 17 to trying to coax Sinead O’Connor into singing the song she was supposed to sing at a Bob Dylan tribute in 1992 to finally winning a Grammy in 1995, some 30 years after his tunes were all over the radio.

But maybe one of the strangest, and potentially most perilous, of his undertakings came in 1993, when he and the MGs hooked up with Neil Young for a nationwide tour.”

The Booker T show (set list here) was pretty much everything a Young fan would want — a career-spanning effort that began with Buffalo Springfield’s “Mr. Soul,” traveled through the likes of “The Loner,” “Heart of Gold” and “Like A Hurricane” and touched upon the best of Young’s more recent work (“Rockin’ in the Free World,” “Harvest Moon.” )

It didn’t hurt to have one of the greatest backing bands of all time, either. Besides Jones, the band included legendary guitarist Steve Cropper and veteran session players Donald “Duck” Dunn (bass) and Jim Keltner (drums). If I remember correctly, Young played well with the rest of the guys rather than going off the guitar-freakout deep end like he had done with Crazy Horse two years earlier.

A tribute to The Baron

800px-Angel_in_the_air_Bad News Beat pays tribute to its administrator:  “The Baron.” (Rainer B.)

You will always be on this page and in our hearts.

Rainer gave us all a commercial-free, private venue for almost 20 years on Bad News Beat and Human Highway so Zumans could travel freely and share their love of Neil Young – and their lives –  with each other.

I cannot write more now. Your loss is profound, beyond measure.


BIG GREEN COUNTRY

Across the plain flew the lone grey rider

Leather bag pounding on his back

Above the clouds the moon was climbing higher

A pack of wolves wanted their money back
With folded arms the chief stood watching

Painted braves slipped down the hill

In his ears the spirit talking

As they closed in For an easy kill
At the house the door was wide open

Wind blew curtains off the rod

She was waiting and hoping

She was praying to her god
He was luckier than most men

He was barely in his prime

As she stood their in the doorway Her long dress flowing

Would he make it this time
Over the hill in the big green country

That’s the place where the cancer cowboy rides

Pure as the driven snow before it got him

Sometimes I feel like he’s all right
Sometimes I feel like a piece of paper

Sometimes I feel like my own name

Sometimes I feel different later

Sometimes I feel I feel just the same
