Cinema Music Group and Killphonic Records have unveiled the tribute album titled Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 1. This compilation includes a notable rendition of Young’s classic 1972 track “Heart of Gold” performed by singer-songwriter Fiona Apple. The album boasts a total of 14 tracks from various artists who pay homage to Young’s prolific musical contributions.

Fiona Apple’s rendition of “Heart of Gold” was co-produced alongside Dave Palmer. The arrangement features Palmer contributing on piano, with Reggie Hamilton on bass and Joey Waronker on drums, showcasing a blend of talent that adds a fresh perspective to the beloved classic.

All proceeds from Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 1 will support the Bridge School, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Neil Young’s late ex-wife, Pegi Young. This initiative aims to assist children facing physical and speech challenges. The album not only celebrates Neil Young’s music but also contributes to a meaningful cause that aligns with Young’s philanthropic values. Additionally, fans can anticipate a second volume of the tribute series in the future.
