Reviews Customer Reviews for Harvest Moon      Neil Young - Sequal To Harvest      Rating:      After experiencing a huge commercial comeback at the start of the decade with the "Ragged Glory" album, Young did another 360 and released what is essentially a sequel to his most popular album of the 70's "Harvest". Like the original, "Harvest Moon" is the folk, country Neil Young with him and his band using mostly acoustic instruments and arrangements. In fact the backing musicians and singers on "Harvest Moon" are many of the same that he used on the original "Harvest" album including Ken Buttery, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Nicolette Larson, and others. The album is very subdued and mellow. There are no "godfather of grunge" tunes to be found on this one. Highlights include "Unknown Legend", "From Hank To Hendrix", "Harvest Moon", "War Of Man", and the 10 minute "Natural Beauty". The amount that you like this album will probably depend on which of Neil's many incarnations you prefer. I tend to like the more rocking Young, but I can also enjoy his acoustic side which this album serves up like an old comfortable shoe. A few of these tunes have been around for a while and have appeared on other albums ("Decade" and "Unplugged"). The album is not a classic, but good solid acoustic Neil Young.     Customer Reviews for Harvest Moon Cd      One of his best.      Rating:      Simply put, I never tire of listening to this album. Neil Young has many great albums in many different styles but this one has such a fine mixture of simple sounds, engaging rhythms and moving words that it stands out as one of his best. Classic Neil Young sound and writing. If you're like me you'll find yourself singing along on at least one song every time you listen. Editorial Reviews for Harvest Moon Audio Cd      Amazon.com      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
