Music : Harvestby: Neil Young
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Proclaiming his intentions with 'Are You Ready for the Country?', Young detoured briefly to the Nashville mainstream. On this 1972 album, even the singer's acquired-taste voice comes across smooth and beautiful--the smash 'Heart of Gold', with steel guitars and Linda Ronstadt's backup vocals, is by far Young's most commercial-sounding song. His usual dissonant touches, like the otherworldly guitar in 'Out on the Weekend', are less spooky in this new context. The last two tracks, the deceptively gentle 'The Needle and the Damage Done' and the hypnotic rocker 'Words (Between the Lines of Age)', predict 'Tonight's the Night', Young's haunted 1975 classic. --Steve Knopper Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Harvest - cream of the crop.This is one of those classic albums that everyone has to own, and it is a very special record. There are so many brilliant songs on this album; personal favourites are Out On The Weekend, Heart Of Gold and Old Man, but every track is just as brilliant as the previous and next. The overall feel is just mellow and relaxed in terms of musical arrangement and vocal delivery, but the lyrics are intense in their depths of heartfelt emotion. It sounds too simple ... Read More Rating: - King Harvest (Has Surely Come)Like another reviewer in these pages, once upon a time I too was quick to dismiss Neil Young, but now I wear the sackcloth and ashes and berate myself for not picking up on his vibe sooner. This is a stunningly good and deceptively easy album to listen to. I bought it in a job lot, with several other albums by NY, and for weeks and weeks now I have woken up and gone to sleep listening to nothing else but 'Harvest' 'After The Goldrush' 'On The Beach' 'Tonight's The Night' 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' ...

Rather than waxing lyrical about this album, it is better just to say that I can't think of a single second on this ambum that isn't sheer quality. A couple of years ago I lived with a group of people that only listened to house music. I leant this to one of them, and before the end of the week our whole house had turned into Neil Young converts. Next to Bob Dylan, Young is one of the greatest artists of all time. ...

Brian Wilson, Kurt Cobain, Roger Waters, the list goes on. But seriously, how could anyone take this title other than Neil Young. I mean it, this guy is so good, it defies belief. I did try to collect a few Neil Young albums a few years back. In time they disappeared or got sold, and I continued to listen to all sorts of mindless rubbish (what the hell was I supposed to know, ... Read More Rating: - Golden HarvestI'm sure many people waited eagerly for this release and I was certainly one of them. The fear was that it would be a huge disappointment after Goldrush - well it wasn't. Harvest has taken on almost a mythical feel over the years. Many consider it his best work and certainly it met with critical acclaim and is still talked of today. When Young releases a low key, tuneful album it is always described as "The New Harvest" and the composer also references the album many times in his subsequent offerings. ... Read More
