That was the best cover version of a Neil Young classic that I have heard. I have heard countless others by famous artists, but this is the best. The guitar sound was tremendous. Thanks for uncovering this lost rendition
if you had asked me in 1996 who the next world-renowned pop band was going to be, I would have said The Odds... Nobody deserved global recognition more, in my opinion.
Wow first time I heard this.... amazing cover, I love it. The Odds are one of Canada's golden treasures that belong in the ranks with BTO, Cummings, Stampeders, BNL, Blue Rodeo and most recently the Sheepdogs. True, wholesome Canadian music that have that deep roots sound! Thank you for sharing.
I love how the guitars "rev up" while the drummer tapes things down, then the explosion of sound. Friggin' awesome. Never heard of this group until recently heard "Heterosexual Man" on Sirius.
I saw them twice in Portland, Oregon back in the 70s. Once alongside The Cowboys at The Long Goodbye, and once somewhere else. I don't remember. Now I have four Odds CDs that get played when I'm nostalgic. Great band! It was the 70s...
For me, CG is a desert island disc. I’ve listened to the original and live versions countless times. I’ve listened to hundreds of covers. I have a theory about certain kind of perfect songwriting and CG, for me, is one of those rare gems that can be performed on virtually any combination of instruments and, if performed competently on those instruments, it will still sound fuckin’ great! This band, Odds, really, really did the song and Mr. Young proud. They got it all just right - most importantly the component of “joy” so rarely found in NY’s work. I’m envious of their ability to produce this for the world. I wish them the very best! One Question: I swear they’re singing “Ma” in the fantastic bridge (as in “Ma, send me money”). I’ve sang “Ma” my entire life, only recently seeing lyric sites telling me the word is “Pa.” WTF? It feels like he’d match “M” in “Ma” with “money.” Can someone from The Odds tell me what they’re singing (I could be wrong)? Anyone else been singing “Ma” all this time or am I a singular Doof?
One of my favorites in my cover bands for years.. no matter what you felt like.. this one always got my blood going.. Whatever instrument didn’t show up I could cover it.. bass, drums 6 banger and vocals .. harmony or melody.. you guys really nailed it.. I’m happy to see the younger gen taking this song seriously enough to keep it faithful.. made me want to strap it on and go.. thank you.. great job
Damn good cover. And for anyone whoever ragged on the one note solo by Neil, I submit it was only a perfect support for the awesome bass and the organic chord progression.

Wow. The vocal harmony. That snare. The happiness. Nailed it.
They are like kids in a candy store. The unbridled enthusiasm is oozing everywhere.
Odds are this is the gold standard for a Cinnamon Girl cover. 😎
I love how much they clearly loved playing that!

So satisfying to hear bands that understand guitar overdrive.
This. Oh man.. so rare.
They're all excellent musicians, but Steven is an exceptional guitar player.
One of my favorite Neil Young songs - you guys do it justice.
Just needs Neils highly microphonic les paul and his fender tweed amp, which is the loudest thing in the known universe.
Criminally underrated cover.
INSANE!!
Killer in everyway..🌹
And the one note solo 🖤🖤🖤

This brought tears to my eyes, right off the top. I've done this song many times, and I'm jealous--I can't top this version. What a performance!

It was the 70s...
They were playing a reprise of the jangly solo Neil does at the end of the song, just doing in the front while the drummer fixed his gear. Genius.
Drummer looks like he could use a coffee break while he “relaxes and waits between shows”. ☕️
i play this over and over
Fantastic! One of the best covers I have EVER heard!
Wow .... magnifica versione 👏👏👏👏
Great cover, a lot of energy and the best cover of Cinnamon Girl out there!

Brilliant cover of a brilliant song by a brilliant band. Wish I
could say "brilliant" more times.
Great Job Guys! Musicianship & vocals were excellent. Neil Young would be proud.
Best cover of CG I've heard to date. Nice work all 'round crew :)
Woah! Unreal cover, just nailed this classic Neil Young rock anthem. Most excellent.
I realise I'm actually 26 years late mentioning this, but well done guys!
I used to play this awesome ODDS cover of that fantastic Neil Young song with my band.

BRAVO!!! Great job guys!!
That is a damn good cover, boys. I’m just blown away...
I'm back.. enjoying this more than the record.

I've been a big fan of The Odds for many years. I was today years old when I heard this for the first time.
