Amazon.co.uk Review
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
CD Description
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 andharmonies 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 andthe late Nicolette Larson harmonised 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 crankyiconoclast's sentimental side include the delicate touch ofthe title track, which leaves an image of slow-dancing in adark 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 theBrazilian rainforest ("Natural Beauty".)
