And the Answer Is. . . 11
Neil Young's Unknown Legend. It's off Harvest Moon, his 1992 "sequel" to Harvest.
The inspiration for using this song came from watching the webcast of Kathleen Edwards' live performance on KCRW radio. It was the last song she did. About to say whom the song was by, she pulled back at the last second and admonished the audience that they be would "in trouble" if they didn't know. Alas, I did recognize that it was a Neil Young song that I had heard in the past, but couldn't place until after Googling the lyrics.
BT had no such problems, leaving a cryptic clue:
Linda and Nicolette sound sweet singing with the Dreaming Man about Hank and Hendrix and Old King and other legends of the fall.
I don't know who Nicolette is (help here, BT), but Linda is Linda Ronstadt who sang back-up on Harvest and came back for this album. The other references are about songs on the album. The last is an outstanding reference to the song at hand plus the autumn-inspired title of the album.
Comments
Nicolette is Nicolette Larso, who sang backup on many songs on that album along with James Taylor.
You can isolate her voice on War of Man.
