After the Gold Rush
Neil Young wrote “After the Gold Rush” and put out the earliest release of it on file, in 1970. Also recorded by Prelude (released 1974), Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (released 2002) and The King’s Singers (released 1975), among 295 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz. It is on the album After the Gold Rush (1970).
Radiohead recorded it in 2004, and Thom Yorke had already cut it on his own two years before that, so this song kept pulling him back. Start with Neil's, then hear what it does to a band that sounds nothing like Harvest.
Put Dolly's take next to the writer's own 1970 original and you hear the song from both ends. Then keep going with him: he kept coming back to it, with Crazy Horse and later with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
