The original version was released on "American Stars and Bars" which has Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt guesting. Lovely ballad called "Star of Bethlehem" on this one, too. One of his better albums to me.
I think it on the newish classic records re release Neil Young greatist hits classic records 48935-1.My favorite version is from Roxy Musics album musique from about 1983,they have a live performance of like a hurricane, which I haul out now and again after more than 2 glasses of cabernet.
He did the song with Crazy Horse at Purdue University way back when. Had this big arsed fan pointing at him so he was standing balanced against the wind with his hair blown sideways while he did it, kind of neat.
to compare neil young to an egregiously over-prescribed and abused prescription sedative in an attempted pithy "one-liner" is just sad. LISTEN to his music. you may not immediately recognize his depth, passion, insight, poetic expressiveness and virtuosity but you may catch a glimpse.
btw, my theory is that in "like a hurricane" he's singing about a girl with borderline personality disorder. the unplugged version is great imho.
