Today's Morning Edition music is from Neil Young with "Powderfinger" off the latest album in his ongoing archival series "Hitchhiker."

The songs on the album are all acoustic and were recorded during one studio session on Aug. 11, 1976.

Young would include an electric version of this song about a young man trying to defend his family from an approaching gunboat on the 1979 album "Rust Never Sleeps."
