THEY FORGOT THE FUZZ

Three, count 'em three versions of "Cinnamon Girl". One version is by the Gentrys, one of the last songs to be released on Sun Records. Then there is Neil Young's original version, which still sounds good, with a rawness that the Gentrys can't touch. In their defense, John Entwistle can't touch it either.

The Neil Young LP that it was on is Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere, an essential disc without question. Seriously, if you have 40 LPs and you don't have this, than just get the fuck out.
