There are no real hits on this CD yet it is a perfect companion to his Classic Harvest album. If you are familiar with the history of Rock you know how difficult it is for any artist to recapture the magic of an album they made in the past, Neil does it here 20 years after the fact. A feat that is as impressive as anything Neil has ever done. It is true that he did not create the kind of hits, or sales, as the Harvest album but it is certainly worthy of both. Now I find it impossible to play Harvest without following it up with Harvest Moon.

The drone of Neil's masterful country hinged harmonica is but one of several aces in this musical miracle's vast repertoire. He pours it all over Harvest Moon. His voice is always on and evokes a sad beauty into songs on this album. Neil's studio work has always included the best musicans in this genre and Harvest Moon has plenty of them too. Make no mistake though, this is 100% Neil Young at his finest. The album could soothe the soul of a werewolf. If you've ever liked Neil Young then you owe it to yourself to get this CD. Harvest Moon is a classic.

The year of the 20th anniversary of the release of his most popular album, Harvest, Neil Young released a new album that harked back to that recording, employing many of the same musicians, again dubbed the Stray Gators, as well as arranger Jack Nitzsche and background singers Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor. He also used a similar folk-country acoustic style and sang songs that often had a personal, confessional tone. But the similarities were more of form than of content because, while Harvest was the statement of a confused, if earnest, 26 year old, Harvest Moon embodied the ruminations of a somewhat regretful 46 year old. Indeed, the greatest comparison to be made ...
