Classics: Come On Baby Lets Go Downtown


Original video located here. Accessed 23rd October 2019

Song title: Come On Baby Lets Go Downtown

Artist: Neil Young

Year: 1975

Why I like this song:

And now, in my explorations of the music of Neil Young, I come to Tonight's the Night: His foray into blues rock and his mourning for both his former bandmate Danny Whitten and his roadie Bruce Berry. 
See there's the problem with Neil Young: Much has been written and documented about him that it's difficult to come up with something new. 

Personally I found this album a far from fun listen but this perhaps my favourite song on the album (a precursor to this perhaps?) and a firm reminder of what a loss Whitten was.
