Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

When Neil Young seems about to zig, he zags. Two years after 1990's loud Ragged Glory, he retreats to an old world of steel guitars, gentle folk melodies, and pristine country choruses. (That's Linda Ronstadt, who helped make 1972's Harvest a hit album, singing backup on the follow-up.) Young name-drops Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix, and his old dog, King, in rich reminiscences about the musical ride he and his fans have shared since the late '60s. The album, as Young sings in "One of These Days," is "a long letter to all the good friends I've known." --Steve Knopper


Chronique amazon.fr

Après avoir exploré sur moult albums les limites d’une guitare noisy, Neil Young fête les 20 ans du méga succès remporté par Harvest en 1972 et s’offre le calme après la tempête du feedback. Il revient sans nostalgie à des sentiments country-folk nourris d’harmonica et de steel guitares. Linda Ronstadt et James Taylor rempilent aux chœurs et Young enfonce le clou acoustique en présentant d’emblée de sa voix haut perchée Harvest Moon comme "a long letter to all the good friends I've known" ("One of These Days"). Arrangé par feu Jack Nitsche, génie honteusement méconnu, Young rend hommage à ses mentors, "From Hank To Hendrix" et pleure la perte de son chien fidèle ("Old King"), tente de se réconcilier avec sa femme ou de retrouver ses anciens amis ("One of These Days"). Une paisible confession qui se défie du temps comme la voix de la chanteuse de jazz Cassandra Wilson invitée sur "Harvest Moon". --Sabrina Silamo

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done Neil!, May 12 2004
This is a great CD. I have listened to it many times.

"Harvest Moon" and "War of Man" are very good. "From Hank to Hendrix" is a very interesting. You get a lot of insight into Neil from this CD. Wonderfully Done!! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Words - Between the Lines of Age, Mar 23 2008
By E. Haensel (Toronto) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It strikes me that Harvest Moon is clearly a hearkening back to Harvest, released some 20 years earlier. As such, it (unfortunately) begs to be reviewed by comparison....I say unfortunately because my appreciation of this album dropped dramatically once I had heard Harvest again.

The magic of Harvest was that the themes and their presentation were varied and fresh, almost naive, Neil was pushing the cusp of his world, groping for his identity amidst the dramatically expanded world in front of him (thanks to his success as a very young musician).

Harvest Moon, while I will agree with other reviewers who note its overall quality, tightness of lyrics and seamless music, comes off as a well textured choreographed album. It has none of the quite rawness of Needle and the Damage Done or the angst of Alabama, nor really the expansive grace of Heart of Gold, let alone the introspective waltz meets boxing match of 'Old Man'.

Indeed, this brings us to what I see as the heart of the matter: Neil Young at the time of this record is a older man, and his record sounds like it, too much like it in fact given the emotion he brings his old and new songs alike in live concerts.

A major drawback for this album is the production. It is way to smooth, overbalanced. This dampens the variance in the songs, homogenizes their disparate textures.

There are some great songs on this album, and it sits well as a whole, but for me it never reaches up to fully grasp my attention, to make me really care about what he is singing about.

That said, I am much closer in age to the Neil Young that wrote and recorded Harvest than the one that wrote and recorded Harvest Moon. And there in may lie the difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, solid album, in some ways better than "Harvest", Mar 3 2004
By A Customer
"Harvest" is still a catchier album in terms of the music, but lyrically "Harvest Moon" is far more rewarding. The writing is richer and more mature, and while "Harvest" may be more tuneful, that's not to say "Harvest Moon" is lacking in melody. The CD is full of breezy, easy-going hooks, like the title track and "One of These Days," the latter unabashedly steeped in wistful nostalgia but perfectly sweet without ever sounding too sentimental. The best numbers are the first two, which are at the very least minor classics, and the last number, "Natural Beauty," which at 10 minutes is twice as long as anything else on the CD. It's a meditative, somber ecological song that is very evocative of how the natural world is slipping away, and it's beautiful in its spare arrangement, surrounding Neil and his guitar with an echo-drenched chorus (not digital echo, as Neil would want to point out) and a few mirimba notes.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's his best work, but it's one of his most accessible works, and a good entry point for anyone wishing to familiarize themselves with Neil's acoustic side.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent CD
I've always been a fan of Neil's more acoustic-sounding albums, and this one's no exception; my favorite track on the album is the last, Natural Beauty. Excellent.
