Gillian Welch covers "Wrecking Ball"

From The Hartford Courant concert review of Gillian Welch by ERIC R. DANTON:

"When you open your concert with a cover of 'Wrecking Ball' by Neil Young, you'd better have a darn strong second tune planned.

Gillian Welch did, of course, for her performance Friday night at the Webster Theatre. Welch and partner David Rawlings followed their shattering, spooky version of Young's tune with their own 'Elvis Presley Blues.' The duo's harmonies were so airtight on the spare, rootsy homage to Presley that their singing sounded like one voice split over two registers."

Also, Emmylou Harris did a great cover of Neil Young's Wrecking Ball awhile back in 1996.
