2016 Neil Young - Four Strong Winds

From: Comes a Time; Year: 1978; Genre: Folk

About a month ago the owner of the One Sweet Song blog brought it to a close. While recent posts have been few and far between, it is still sad to see another song a day blog go silent; so many have and it was one of the more intricately designed and informative I had seen.
It's interesting that another blog would go silent at the point I reached my 2000th pick; with the way things have been lately I haven't had the time to think much about how long I've been at this. I really don't know how long I will keep this blog going, but as long as I am having fun and I have my handful of regular visitors and, of course, the multitude of Google and Microsoft bots, (God bless their traffic), to come around I'll probably keep going.
Anyway, I figured it would be fitting to pick the "tombstone pick," as it is, of the One Sweet Song blog today. While I had heard many versions of this song, I hadn't heard Neil Young's version before this; I have to say he did this rather emotional and melancholy tune good.

Hear Neil Young's version of Four Strong Winds on YouTube.
