During yet another preview weekend on DishTV, we had Showtime and TMC channels. I came across the music special “Heart of Gold” featuring Neil Young. It’s a concert of Neil and some friends filmed at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville a couple of years ago. It’s also available on DVD.

I’ve never really listened to much of Young’s music over the years, but I’ve known a number of people who loved his stuff. And I’ll probably be listening to more it now. I’ve only watched about half of the concert so far, but it’s been quite good. Besides the music, some of Young’s comments between songs are enjoyable as well.

Here’s a couple of videos - first, a trailer for the film:

And, a performance of “Here For You” from the film:

I’ve heard good things about Young’s album Living With War, a collection of war protest songs mostly directed at the Bush administration. I’ve had that on my want list for a while, but it hasn’t made it to the top just yet.
