Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cinnamon Girl is a song by Neil Young. It reached #55 in the US charts in 1970.
It debuted on the 1969 album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, which was also Neil's first album with backing band Crazy Horse. It is well known for its opening distorted-guitar riff, that continues through the song. Young performed many different styles of rock, country, and folk, and this song very much falls into the "hard rock" genre.
It has been covered by several artists, including Type O Negative, on their album October Rust; John Entwistle, featured as a bonus track on his solo debut, Smash Your Head Against the Wall; The Sisters Euclid, on the Neil Young tribute Run Neil Run; Boyd Tinsley, on True Reflections; Matthew Sweet, on his 2006 album of covers with Susanna Hoffs, Under the Covers, Vol. 1; and its main riff is used on Hole's song/noise suite "Starbelly", featured on the 1991 album Pretty on the Inside.
