Track:Down By The River
Roy Buchanan
Roy attacks this classic Neil Young dirge with a vengeance and smolders his way through an incredibly harrowing solo that makes this the best version of this song I've ever heard. Lead vocals on this are by Gary St. Clair with Luther Vandross listed among the background singers.

Being a NY fan i normally hate cover versions but........ Shit -that was smoking hot.
The guitar is great fer shure. The rest of the arrangement sticks a little too close to Mr. Young's original to be interesting. To moi!
very nice cover
