Neil Young - "Cortez the Killer"
This could have been a song so full of hippie-dippie sentiment as to make it unbearable. Instead, the minor-key melancholy is matched by the angst (and even anger) of the guitar lines. The result is that this is one of Neil Young's best songs. Crazy Horse's new rhythm guitarist, Frank Sampedro, proves himself worthy of taking the place of the late Danny Whitten. There's some technique to his rhythm guitar that is worthy of attention.
