February 1959 (1990)

So over the weekend I decided to play Ragged Glory for the first time in about twenty years, but I didn’t get to listen to the entire album. Clearly my subconscious isn’t happy that this song didn’t get played.

I always assumed that this was a Neil Young original but it was written and recorded in 1959 by American duo Don & Dewey, later made famous by the Premiers in 1964 when it reached number nineteen in the US charts. Having performed it live on a regular basis over the years, Neil Young recorded it for the album Ragged Glory in 1990.
