eTown: City and Colour & Birds of Chicago Cover Cowgirl In The Sand

youtube.com

This is an incredible performance of Neil Young's "Cowgirl In The Sand," and that says a lot, since I saw Neil Young himself at Red Rocks Monday. Tune in for eTown Saturday featuring City and Colour & Birds of Chicago.

Canada's City and Colour (a.k.a Dallas Green) is lined up for nothing but festivals this fall. He's already played the Newport Folk fest. Next up is Friday's Outside Lands in San Francisco, Seattle's Bumbershoot or the Deluna in Florida. If you can't make those festivals, especially Outside Lands which is SOLD OUT, be sure to tune in for eTown to hear Dallas Green.

Joining City and Colour in eTownHall is JT Nero and Allison Russell, a duo known as Birds of Chicago in the American Roots scene.

Both artists really pour it on with this cover, aided by the etones and Nick & Helen. It takes some chops to completely sell a Neil Young cover, especially one from his seminal second album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

eTown airs Saturdays at 3 p.m.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
