“A song made famous by Rod Stewart, he does a great version of it but I prefer the original by Crazy Horse . Wrote by Danny Whitten for Crazy Horse's debut album , Danny was a outstanding musician. He played a huge part in Neil Young's early career on albums such as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After The Goldrush.Danny never fufilled his potential , drug addiction took over and he sadly died at the age of 29. Neil Young's The Needle and The Damage Done is inspired by Danny's descent into drug addiction.”
