Neil Young Covered

I am a bit of a cover version collector. Currently, my iTunes shows 1804 songs in the "cover" grouping I created. I like listening to artists trying (sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully) other artists works and giving their own interpretation. Sometimes I discover that I like the cover better than the original.
I have a few complete CDs of covers of a particular artist, and one I'd like to share today is a good CD of covers from 2007 of a Canadian icon by other Canadian groups: Borrowed Tunes II: A Tribute to Neil Young, a followup to a 1994 CD called Borrowed Tunes. Both are double CDs with close to 40 songs and artists on each.
What I like about these types of compilations is discovering artists that I may not have known of. An example for me on this compilation is "After the Gold Rush" by Danny Michel, leading me to seek out other work by this singer/songwriter from Kitchener (http://www.dannymichel.com/newsite/welcome.html).

This is the track listing from the 2007 version:

2. Jets Overhead, "Mr. Soul"
3. Dala, "Ohio (Medley)"

6. Harpoondodger & Pat Robitaille, "Sugar Mountain"
7. Great Lake Swimmers, "Don't Cry No Tears"
8. Danny Michel, "After the Goldrush"
9. Finger Eleven, "Walk On"
10. Andre, "Alabama"
11. Tom Cochrane, "Old Man"
12. Tom Wilson, "Expecting to Fly"
13. Chantal Kreviazuk, "A Man Needs a Maid"
14. Alana Levandoski, "Don't Be Denied"
15. Ron Sexsmith, "Philadelphia"
16. Dave Gunning, "A Dream That Can Last"
17. Melissa McClelland, "Cinnamon Girl"
18. Liam Titcomb, "Bandit"
19. Kyle Riabko, "Helpless"

8. Astrid Young, "Sleeps With Angels"
9. Attack in Black, "A Man Needs a Maid"
10. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, "Unknown Legend"
