Neil Young wrote it and was actually born in Ontario, living in Toronto and other places in ON, including the country, until his parents divorced, and he went with his mother to Winnipeg, Alberta. Alberta's mostly country, but it cool to note that not only did Neil come from Winnipeg, so did Joni Mitchell and Randy Bachman of the Guess Who. and they all knew each other. Neil has credited watching Bachman play in Winnipeg as an influence to his style. This song came out in 1966 and in the following year it was released as a single by the Guess Who, Randy Bachman's band.
