It’s a Neil Young song from his album COMES A TIME. It sounds nothing like the Mac in the original. Nicolette Larsen (who sang backup on that album) liked it and asked if she could use it to launch her solo career. As a fixture on the California rock scene, it’s not surprising that she chose the song to be arranged with that slick glossy feel we hear in later Doobie Brothers and all Christopher Cross records. But the song itself was not created by Young for this purpose.
