Fifteen years ago, Jones first fell in love with Heart of Gold, and she's been a hardcore Neil Young fan since. "At night, when I'm cooking, I listen to him really loud," she says. "It's hard for me to listen to anything else." Over the years she's seen countless Young shows and even performed with him at the Bridge School Benefit in 2008. "There's something so emotional about the way he plays and writes," she adds. "I always cry when I see him live."

The inimitable crooner, who launched his career when Harry Truman was president and Gene Autry and the Andrew Sisters were at the top of the charts, is celebrating his 85th birthday this year with a new album.
