This classic tune is one that will get anybody’s foot tapping. Its another masterpiece from one of the best songwriters the World has ever seen. Born in Canada, Neil’s career has spanned for over 40 years and he has released an immense 34 studio albums. He is still going strong and his performance at Glastonbury in 2009 was packed with energy and certainly rivalled performances from the rest of the lineup including Springsteen and Blur.

Heart of Gold’ is one of his most memorable tunes. The lyrics describe a man’s search for love and happiness and are deeply personal which has become a typical feature of a Neil Young classic. This song has arguably one of the most recognisable intro’s with thumping acoustic guitar and wailing harmonica line. You can’t help but sing along and tap your foot.
Neil Young still tours regularly and you can keep up with his latest concert dates at www.neilyoung.com.
