I'm not sure why or how. Acoustic, electric, playing harmonica, it doesn't matter. He can be a folkie, or he can sound like the Apocalypse. I never play out, just in my basement, but when I want to crank the amp up, I'm usually playing something of Neil's, albeit badly. Like A Hurricane, Powderfinger, Rockin' in the Free World, stuff from Greendale, anything else. Genius songwriter, genius musician. I can't say enough, so I'll stop trying.

Neil proves that the conventional standards for judging singing and guitar playing ability don't mean squat. It's like judging a book by the grammar and syntax.
