I never had listened to Neil Young or CSN&Y but I recently saw him perform two songs from his new album on Conan O'brein and I really enjoyed his songwriting and his band. His bassist is a NAtive AMerican looking guy with long black hair and he plays an older looking pbass. Anyone know who this is. He did a pretty great job holding down teh bass , nothing fast or complex but it sounded great. I always seem to like bassists who play for the song .They really push the song along, counter the melody , and make the song more interesting.

He's in the August issue of Bass Player (1-page article).
Can't recall his name...pretty sure his website is listed in the article.

he's been doing stuff for Neil for a while.... Neil kinda alternates backing bands, sometimes using Crazy Horse and sometimes other people.
