Album Notes
Personnel: Neil Young (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond, Ben Keith, Spooner Oldham, Astrid Young, Larry Cragg.Recorded at Redwood Digital, Woodside, California.Both artistically and stylistically HARVEST MOON is the successor to HARVEST, Neil Young's landmark acoustic album from 1971, which featured the No. 1 single, "Heart Of Gold."The song "Harvest Moon" was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as "Record Of The Year."The song "Harvest Moon" was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as "Song Of The Year." Neil Young's sequel to 1972's HARVEST found him reuniting with the Stray Gators and inviting along a few other famous friends. Unlike the Crazy Horse's sonic bludgeoning, the Gators' light playing featured ethereal-sounding pedal steel and harmonies that caressed like a gentle lover. This was the perfect compliment for Young's songwriting, which was fueled by romantic notions of courtship and deep thought. Young and the late Nicolette Larson harmonized and became the lovers of "You And Me" whereas Jack Nitzsche's string arrangements made for a nice contrast in "Such A Woman," a bold-faced declaration of love.Other insights into the normally cranky iconoclast's sentimental side include the delicate touch of the title track, which leaves an image of slow-dancing in a dark corner. Fast approaching 50, Neil Young also used HARVEST MOON to reflect back on his life, particularly in the biographical "One Of These Days," and "From Hank To Hendrix," a twangy sequel to "My My, Hey Hey (Of The Blue)." Young also continued his commitment to the environment by including both a protest against man's destruction of nature ("War Of Man") and a live tribute to the forest and jungles recorded at a Portland, Oregon performance that included sounds of the Brazilian rainforest ("Natural Beauty.")

10 - Classic - ...Though essentially a warm, emotional album, it doesn't flinch from a realization that innocent idealism is no longer a viable commodity on mankind's futures market...HARVEST MOON may be the best work he's ever done...
Vox (12/01/1992)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...he has surrounded his meditations in some of his simplest, most gorgeous melodies in years...
Q (12/01/1992)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...sounds like the calm after the storm, with a hushed musical landscape at times populated only by a ghostly harmonica, a few spooky bass lines and Young's cracked tenor...within these spare settings, Young's search for shelter from the storm resonates like a heartbeat...
Rolling Stone (11/26/1992)

...this unadorned folk music exudes real weight....Young at his best...
Musician (12/01/1992)

...In both music and tone, HARVEST MOON is wistful and elegiac....it's the classic-rock equivalent of a late-period Sinatra saloon-song album....comfortable, reassuring, and proudly old wave... - Rating: B+

Being a big Neil Young fan I'm perhaps a bit biased.This is Neil at his very best,tunes you can sing along to,instead of the head banging stuff.Although I like all his stuff,I just needed a quiet moment & this album provides just that.

  Neil YOUNG - Harvest Moon CD
Review created: 04/05/07

Great album without the 'dark' feel/mood of the 'Harvest' album. Bought the 'Harvest' album first and enjoyed it so Harvest Moon seemed the natural N.Y. follow up. If your thinking about buying a N.Y. album but unsure which to plump for go for Harvest Moon. This album just seems to 'catch a hold of a time' in a warmer friendly way.

Buy it, Enjoy it.

  Brilliant - vintage Neil Young.
Review created: 08/03/07

I rate this as one of the best Neil Young albums I have bought in a very long time. The style is somewhat like " Harvest" and " After the Goldrush".
Thought Neil Young had lost it a few years ago - but this album has proved that he is still able to produce high quality Country/Folk/Rock.
A must for all Neil Young fans,- and for those who have just discovered how brilliant this guy is.
This album will stand alongside his other great albums.
