We know you know Modest Mouse and are well aware of Isaac Brock . You probably know that obscure singer-songwriter Neil Young whose song is being covered. More than likely you’ve encountered Califone who also feature on this recording. So what can we tell you? Hang on a minute. Does this seem familiar? It sure seems familiar? Maybe not, I tell you man if I’d been here before I’d know just what to. Anyway, we should probably mention that this is taken from Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 3 – Into The Black which is a release that is raising money for The Bridge School, founded in 1986 by Neil and Pegi Young to help meet the communication and educational needs of their son, Ben.
Isaac Brock wants us to tell you that “Getting to do a cover of one of Neil’s songs on a project like this matters both because it gets to be helpful for an important cause like The Bridge School, and because it’s actually attached to the person whose song we are covering. It’s really… well, it’s a stressful honor. The stakes seem a little higher. I like that.”
