Danny Whitten Tribute

crazy-horse-scratchy-danny-whitten-cu.jpg

A nice tribute to Crazy Horse's Danny Whitten (May 8, 1943 to November 18, 1972) on Purple Words on a Gray Background.

Purple Words on a Gray Background is a French Neil Young blog. So if you're in France, you need to definitely check this out. If you're not fluent in French (like us), use Google translate.

Merci Jacques-Eric!

The Rockets CD is awesome man ! "Mr Chips" for example is fuckin great, just like "Pills Blues" or "Eraser" and "Won't you say you'll say", "Hole in My pocket" etc

She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back
She's dressed black

Oh how long will it take?
'Til she sees the mistake
She has made dear
What can I do?
Baby's in black
And I'm feelin' blue
Tell me oh what can I do?

They were a different band with Danny ... he brought an incredible element to the music and vocals ... Fillmore is classic in a way almost nothing I've heard from Neil ... such a shame, such a sad loss ...

Danny Whitten made Neil sound better than anyone else he ever played with, before or since. It's one of the true shames of rock history that those two guys didn't have more time together to create more great music. I guess we have to be thankful for what we got.
