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.
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.

"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.

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?....

Harvest album
 $12.95   
With Adam Lambert, American Idol finally got a finalist who was completely, utterly contemporary, aware of what's hip in music and culture and aware of how music is made and consumed in 2009, never seeming to try to follow fads or set trends, just embodying the time. Mercifully, he came in second to Kris Allen, for if he came in first he may have had to tame his self-styled glamazon ways. A second place finish allowed Lambert to come out of the closet and indulge in his penchant ...

Harvest songs
$13.95
The Nylons' performing career began in 1980 at a time when a cappella outfits were not in vogue. The fact that the Nylons were unlike any a cappella act on the scene made them stand out, and earned them accolades and a devoted audience almost immediately. The band has existed in one form or another for 25 years, but it is the original quartet of Claude Morrison, Arnold Robinson, Paul Cooper, and Mark Connors that created their most beloved recordings. This, their 1982 self-titled debut album, sounded great upon release, but their following four albums have overshadowed its innocent charm. Each of ...
