An American group comprising Jack Nitzsche (piano), Ben Keith (steel guitar), Tim Drummond (bass) and Kenny Buttrey (drums). They supported Neil Young in 1972 on his Harvest album, for which Nitzsche also produced two songs (A Man Needs a Maid and There's a World). After the release of Harvest, they appeared on the War Song single, credited to Young and Graham Nash, as well as outtakes from the Harvest sessions on the Journey Through the Past soundtrack.
In 1973, they backed Young again on his Time Fades Away tour, although Buttrey had been replaced by drummer Johnny Barbata. They disbanded midway through the tour when Young abruptly put an end to the concerts, but as individuals they continued to work with Young and others.
They had a reunion of sorts in 1992 on Young's Harvest Moon album, with Spooner Oldham replacing Nitzsche.
Later they played on Jewel's debut album Pieces of You, which was recorded in Young's studio.
