Title: Neil Young and Dennis Post by: Bicyclerider on June 16, 2009, 07:38:28 AM I was listening to Neil's Archives and was struck at how similar "A Man Needs a Maid" sounds to Dennis's stuff - starts with just voice and piano, then all the lush strings/orchestration comes in, like Cuddle Up or his solo stuff. Was there ever a connection between these two? Coincidence, or did they influence each other?

Title: Re: Neil Young and Dennis Post by: The Heartical Don on June 16, 2009, 10:02:05 AM It's the Manson-factor Blimey! Now there's a thought... suppose Manson really was inspirational... and is still hiding a treasure trove of classic songs in his cell... Title: Re: Neil Young and Dennis Post by: Andrew G.

Title: Re: Neil Young and Dennis Post by: Ian on June 16, 2009, 06:44:47 PM Neil Young talked about Dennis in the authorized biography "Shakey"...He became friends with him on the Nov 67 Thanksgiving tour (Buffalo Springfield was on the bill)...They also toured together in 1968. He and Dennis shared an unfortunate acquaintance-named Charlie. They became pretty good pals for awhile apparently. Neil had a lot of respect for Brian as well-he talks about his love of "Day in the Life of a Tree" in the book.
Title: Re: Neil Young and Dennis Post by: Jon Stebbins on June 16, 2009, 08:26:28 PM Any connection thread between Dennis and Neil Young has to mention John Hanlon, who recorded parts of POB and Bambu, mixed and co-produced last year's Sony Legacy release...and has recorded, mixed and/or produced something like 17 Neil Young records.
