About this album

Rhino (1972) 10 tracks (37:24)
Harvest is an album by Neil Young, which was the best-selling album of 1972. The album featured several high calibre guests, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby and James Taylor. Harvest hit #1 on the Billboard Music Charts (North America) pop albums chart, spawning two hit singles, “Old Man”, which peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Heart of Gold”, which peaked at #1.

After the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young split, Young recruited a new group of country session musicians, which he christened The Stray Gators and recorded a country rock record in 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: “Alabama” was “an unblushing rehash of ‘Southern Man’”; “Words (Between the Lines of Age)” featured a lengthy guitar workout with the band; and “The Needle and the Damage Done” was a lament for great artists who had died of heroin addiction, particularly Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse. The album’s success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that “Heart of Gold” “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.”

    What a magnificent album. I wish we could've gotten more of the acoustic Stray Gators stuff just to fill it out (Bad Fog of Loneliness is one of my favorite Neil recordings, period, and full-band Journey through the Past is lovely too), but even without 'em, this album is just incredible. And what a trip it takes you on! Moving from the lonely-prairie expanses of Out on the Weekend, Harvest, Heart of Gold, and Old Man, to the bouncy fun of Are You Ready for the Country?, the dramatic vistas of A Man Needs a Maid and There's a World, and the mournful but explosive Alabama and Words, with the stark nakedness of The Needle and the Damage done right inbetween...

    im still not really sold on this album, sounds like generic california folk to me, which is probably why young disowned it
