'Tennessee Whiskey'
I've always assumed that the gent second from the left (with white/pale coat) is album producer #JackNitzsche
The song also appears in several places in the Neil Young discography including the album, #Tonight'sTheNight
From Verse 1:
Sure enough, they'll be selling you stuff
For when the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes
Come on, baby, let's go downtown ...

Also written by Danny Whitten, "possibly with Neil Young" (Wiki) - upbeat intro makes way for acid message - Whitten is the solo voice
Correct!

Some readers may know the song via the version from Rod Stewart which was a big UK hit for him in '77
“Danny Whitten was the focal point of Crazy Horse, but he was also the fault line that ran through it.” (Source: Neil Young)
I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever ...

Song written and sung by Whitten (and IMHO the best thing he ever did)

Love this! 👌
Never heard of them but gather they're from Oz - nice track though
Thirty-four years later, I still talk, probably way too often, about the hour I spent with one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson, at the Crescent for the Dallas Times Herald.
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand, some drummed along ...
Brian Wilson

How he handled the song as opposed to the (much) earlier #BeachBoys cut
Note the first song out of the 21 selected (in chronological order)
"Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me. He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I’m Bob Dylan.'"
If you have some time today, go down the rabbit hole and learn about the making of “Good Vibrations.” Learn about the Wrecking Crew, learn about tape splicing, learn about how crazy Brian drove the rest of the band trying to create the perfect song. And then listen to the perfect song.
Thinking about Brian Wilson like many people, and as well as all the other songs this song.

A cd copy of Smile by Brian Wilson signed by Brian.
20 years ago we used to do a T-shirt that just said “God Bless Brian Wilson” in the Pet Sounds font and one day we got an email from Brian’s guitar player asking to buy them for the band. Obviously we just sent them to him. He sent us back a lovely letter and this. Treasure.
It's not specifically a Cornish thing - and I should know having been brought up in Newquay - but it's something you often get warned about if you go there
Nice one - it's that good old '50's chord sequence but utilised well
