Recognized as one of Young's (and hence one of rock & roll's) finest albums, HARVEST put the singer on the mainstream map with the mega-hit "Heart of Gold," which defined a soft folk-rock style frequently revisited by lesser artists throughout the 1970s. It also features some of his darker compositions, like the entropy-obsessed "Old Man" and the junkie eulogy, "The Needle and the Damage Done," one of Young's most haunting and compelling songs.

Deceptively laid-back-sounding country-rock plaints like "Out on the Weekend" and the title cut caress the ear unassumingly, pulling you into the more ominous subtext that is present even in the rollicking "Are You Ready for the Country." As always, Young has an ear for contrasts, laying down heavy rock ("Alabama") beside his balladry, and even employing the London Symphony Orchestra on the excellent confessional "A Man Needs a Maid." Due to back troubles, Young recorded much of this material while wearing a brace, a fact that seems audible in the tension and unease that underlies the friendly, acoustic surface of this superb release.

Personnel: Neil Young (vocals, guitar); Jack Nitzsche (slide guitar, piano); Ben Keith (steel guitar); John Harris (piano); Tim Drummond (bass instrument); Kenny Buttrey (drums); David Crosby, Graham Nash, James Taylor , Stephen Stills, Linda Ronstadt (background vocals); London Symphony Orchestra.

Recording information: Quadrafonic Sound Studio, Nashville, Tennessee; Broken Arrow Studios, San Francisco, California; Barking Town Hall, London, England; Royce Hall, UCLA, Los Angeles, California.

This is the folk rock album that all others are measured by! It really set the standard and is the benchmark for a listening generation.

5 stars One of his most popular albums ever...
"Harvest" is a wonderful album containing some wonderful songs. The songs I like on this title are: Out on the Weekend, the title track (Harvest), Heart of Gold, Old Man, and perhaps one or two others. This is obviously one of Neil's most popular albums that he released during his career. It was also noted that he had back problems and was wearing a brace while making this album. I believe that the best known song on this album is Heart of Gold, and I think it is a great one. Old Man is wonderful, too, and the other tracks I mentioned. Get this album if you don't yet have it; it will be a nice addition to your collection.

3 stars Inconfudible sonido
Éste debe ser el CD más representativo del folck-rock de los setenta, tiene mucha mística y una energía que hoy no encontramos fácilmente. Cada vez que escucho éste disco le encuentro algo nuevo¿será mucha nostalgia?....

Flaming Lips Embryonic CD  (2009)

Harvest
CD $11.18  SALE 3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
CHRISTMAS ON MARS might be the Flaming Lips' bona fide sci-fi epic, but EMBRYONIC is the musical equivalent of the final scenes of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY: transformative chaos that results in a new start. From THE SOFT BULLETIN onward, the Lips seemed focused on tidying the loose ends of their earlier work, almost to the point of constraining themselves. Their wilder side is unleashed on Embryonic's 18 tracks, and the band sounds more off-the-cuff than it has in years -- some tracks are barely longer than snippets, others are rangy epics, and it all holds together so organically that listeners might wonder just how much these songs were edited. Musically, EMBRYONIC is the least polite the Flaming Lips have been in nearly two decades, mixing in-the-red drums, blobby, dubby bass, squelchy wah-wah guitars, and sparkling keyboards into a swirl of sounds that are strangely liquid and abrasive at the same time. Occasionally, the band uses noise in an almost ugly way, as on "Convinced of the Hex," which scrapes eardrums with static and distortion before falling into a loose but driving Krautrock groove that ...

Harvest

If there was any flaw with Brandi Carlile's second album, THE STORY, it's that it was perhaps a touch too austere, painted in amber tones by producer T Bone Burnett. Its 2009 sequel, GIVE UP THE GHOST, opens up and breathes, perhaps partially due to swapping T Bone for Rick Rubin, who retains the spooky, serious vibe but makes things a little ...

THE BEST OF MADNESS, the 20th Century Masters release, boils down the career of one of England's most beloved pop acts from the '80s into an easily digestible 12-track set. Between 1978 and 1984, Madness had a spectacular string of hits in the U.K. thanks to their clever lyrics and arrangements, buoyant, singable melodies, and off-kilter, "nutty" sound. Though their U.S. success was limited to the smash single "Our House" and a handful of videos played in heavy rotation on MTV, they have--in the years since--taken their place alongside the Specials as one of the most distinctive and enduring ska-influenced groups of the era. "Our House" is here, of course, ...
