In the early ’90s, when grunge was a relentless ooze across youth culture, Neil Young was cool again. After reuniting with Crazy Horse for the rip-roaring and brilliant Ragged Glory (1990), the chugging guitar rock of Young’s soft country roots was resonating with young music fans.He was heralded the ‘Godfather of Grunge’ after ’90s icons and cited him as a huge influence on their songwriting.

He even took unorthodox art punk heavyweights on tour with him. The result of nightly onslaughts of thumping drums and squealing feedback while touring with Crazy Horse and Sonic Youth in tow forced Young to retreat to his sacred California ranch to rest his ears and wait until things got back to normal.When they did, another thrashing effort from the Godfather of Grunge was impossible and the decision to make an abrupt return to his country origins on Harvest Moon, while surprising to his new fan base who were awaiting a follow up to White Line and F.!#in Up, was inevitable. “I made Harvest Moon because I didn’t want to hear any loud sounds,” Young stated in a 1995 interview with Mojo Magazine.Because Young’s hearing had become softer, he was forced to pack away all the chaos, clutter, hype, and scrutiny that had been following him for 20 years to make space for an album where he was able to recline back into a much gentler and tender sound, and it turned out to be the making of Harvest Moon. It’s a record bathing in nostalgia, and there isn’t a genre out there that can conjure sentiment and wistfulness as well as country and folk.The album is as stripped back as Young could make it without regressing to just himself and an acoustic guitar.

Harvest Moon by YOUNG,NEIL (1992-10-27). ' Harvest Moon' reminds long time Young fans what they love about him in the first place; the gorgeous song writing. Of course the rowdy guitar sometimes takes center stage, as well as deference to the acoustic model, but this CD gives equal time to the vocal instrument paired with rolling melodies.

Contents.Background After the members of went their separate ways in 1970, Young recruited a group of country session musicians (which he christened ) and recorded a country rock record, Harvest. The record was a massive hit, producing a US number one single in 'Heart of Gold'. Other songs returned to some usual Young themes: ' was a lament for great artists who had been addicted to, including bandmate; 'Alabama' was 'an unblushing rehash of '; which southern rock band wrote their 1973 hit ' in reply, stating 'I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around, anyhow'. Young later wrote of 'Alabama' in his autobiography, saying it 'richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue.' 'Words (Between the Lines of Age)', the last song on the album, featured a lengthy guitar workout with the band.

It has a typical Neil Young structure consisting of four chords during the multiple improvised solos. The song is also notable for alternating between a standard 4/4 for verses and choruses and an 11/8 (6/8+5/8) for interludes.The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that the record 'put me in the middle of the road.

Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there.' According to a note posted on Young's official website on May 1, 2019, 'much of Harvest was written about or for, a wonderful actress and person and Zeke Young’s mother.'

Recording 'The Needle and the Damage Done' was taken from a live solo performance at UCLA on January 30, 1971.The recording of the remainder of Harvest was notable for the spontaneous and serendipitous way it came together. The story is told in an article in, which includes interviews with the producer, among others.Young arrived in in early February 1971 to perform on a broadcast of where Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor would also appear. Mazer had opened in Nashville, and invited Young to dinner (or breakfast according to another Mazer interview) on Saturday, 6 February, to convince him to record his next project at the studio. Young admired the work of the local studio musicians known as who had recorded there and was interested. Young had a batch of new songs that he had been performing on the road, as seen by the repertoire on, and told Mazer that all he needed was a bassist, drummer, and pedal steel guitarist. Young made the decision to start recording that evening.Since many of the Area Code 615 musicians were typically working on a Saturday night in Nashville, Mazer scrambled to find drummer, bassist (who was just walking down the street), and steel-guitarist. That night, they laid down the basic tracks for 'Old Man', ', and 'Dance Dance Dance'.

This version of 'Bad Fog' was unreleased until its appearance on. 'Dance Dance Dance' was also left off the album but had already appeared on the debut album.According to liner notes in Archives Volume 1, 'Heart of Gold' was not recorded until Monday, 8 February. However, other sources reported that after taping the Johnny Cash Show on the evening of Sunday 7 February, Young invited Ronstadt and Taylor to come back to the studio with him. The three sat on a couch and recorded the background vocals for 'Heart of Gold' and 'Old Man.' Taylor overdubbed a part for the latter song on Young's (a six-string banjo tuned like a guitar).'

' and 'There's a World' were recorded by with the in early March at Barking Assembly Hall (credited as on the album notes and now the theatre,) in the wake of Young's appearance on the BBC and concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London.' Out on the Weekend', 'Harvest' and 'Journey Through the Past', along with overdubs by the session musicians James McMahon (piano on 'Old Man'), John Harris (piano on 'Harvest'), and Teddy Irwin (second acoustic guitar on 'Heart of Gold'), were recorded in another session at Quadrafonic in April.The electric-based songs were recorded in a barn at Young's ranch in California in September. Using a system, Mazer set up PA speakers in the barn for monitors rather than have the players wear headphones. This resulted in a lot of 'leakage' as each microphone picked up sound from other instruments, but Young and Mazer liked the resulting sound.

'Are You Ready for the Country', 'Alabama', and 'Words' were recorded in these sessions with Buttrey, Drummond, Keith, along with Nitzsche on piano and lap steel. Young named this band, which would accompany him on his tour in the winter of 1973,.Background vocals by were later recorded by Mazer in New York.Mixing was done both at Quadrafonic and at Young's house. During playback at the ranch, Mazer ran the left channel into the PA speakers still in the barn and the right channel into speakers in the house.

Young sat outside with Crosby and Nash sitting beside him listening to the mix (or Nash and Young were sitting in a rowboat on the lake—see notes). When asked about the stereo balance, he called out, 'More barn.' According to a interview, Young had wanted the album sleeve to biodegrade after the shrink-wrap was broken, but was overruled by the record company on the basis of expense and the possible product loss due to shipping accidents. Mentioned this request at the 22nd annual ASCAP pop music awards. Critical reception Retrospective professional reviews Review scoresSourceRatingB+9/104/59.3/107/10Assessments by critics were not overwhelmingly favorable at the time.

's called the album a disappointing retread of earlier, superior efforts by Young, writing of 'the discomfortingly unmistakable resemblance of nearly every song on this album to an earlier Young composition – it's as if he just added a steel guitar and new words to.' A review in gave the album a mixed verdict, calling it 'embarrassing' in places but interesting lyrically, and singling out 'Are You Ready for the Country?'

As the record's best cut. Reappraising the record in (1981), critic wrote:Anticipation and mindless instant acceptance made for critical overreaction when this came out, but it stands as proof that the genteel Young has his charms, just like the sloppy one. Rhythmically it's a little wooden, and Young is guilty of self-imitation on 'Alabama' and pomposity on the unbearable opus 'There's a World.' But those two excepted, even the slightest songs here are gratifying musically, and two of them are major indeed—'The Needle and the Damage Done' and the much-maligned (by feminists as well as those critics of the London Symphony Orchestra) 'A Man Needs a Maid.' More recent evaluations of the album have been far more positive: in 1998, readers voted Harvest the 64th greatest album of all time. In 1996, 2000 and 2005, polled readers to determine the 50 greatest albums of all time – Harvest placed second in all three polls, losing the top spot to 's in 2000, and to in the other two years.

In 2003, a full three decades removed from its original harsh assessment, Rolling Stone named Harvest the 78th, and 82 in a 2012 revised list. In 2007, Harvest was named the #1 Canadian Album of All Time by in his book.

The album was featured in 's list of 'The 10 Essential Country Rock Albums'. It was voted number 93 in 's 3rd Edition (2000). Reissues On October 15, 2002, Harvest was digitally remixed and remastered for the format. The new 5.1 mix was the subject of minor controversy due to its unconventional panning, with the vocals in the centre of the room and the drums in the rear speakers. Harvest was remastered and released on -encoded CD and digital download on July 14, 2009, as part of the. A 180-gram remastered vinyl edition was released on December 1, 2009, along with remastered vinyl editions of Young's first four albums.
