About the song: After the goldrush is a cover of the famous Neil Young song. It comes from the 2004 album Hymns of the 49th Parallel, a collection of covers of songs by Canadian artists, also including Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell). I've always like this Neil Young song, but not particularly in his version. Her take it on it completely blows the original out of the water. Running time 4:00.
