Introduction by: Joseph H. Spadaro.

CINNAMON GIRL: WOMEN ARTISTS COVER NEIL YOUNG FOR CHARITY provides 21 compelling new versions of classic Neil Young songs reinterpreted by female artists. A gifted songwriter in a wide variety of styles, Young inspires compelling and imaginative revisions of his work by artists as varied as country-folk star Lori McKenna ("The Needle and the Damage Done"), alt-country cult figures like the Watson Twins ("Powderfinger"), and indie rockers ranging from Luna's Britta Philips ("I Am A Child") to ex-Throwing Muses leaders Kristen Hersh and Tanya Donnelly ("Like A Hurricane" and "Heart of Gold," respectively). Other highlights include songs by the reformed Veruca Salt and former 1980s new wave star Josie Cotton.
