Advantages: Alternative country/rock classic Disadvantages: none
From the delicate opening bars of "Out on the Weekend" till the closing sunrise of "Words", Harvest paints an emotional portrait of the post 60's world as seen through the eyes of NeilYoung, godfather of alternative rock and grunge.
Harvest is NeilYoung's biggest selling album that still resonates today. It is a must have album for NeilYoung fans and fans of alternative music across the world in this post grunge post britpop era. It is an unashamed alternative country album with contributions from notable country singers James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, with further involvement of NY stalwarts David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash.
A gentle melancholia fills each song, and is one of the first things which strikes you about this record. Although this may have been due, in part, to the heavy medication which Neil was ...
Advantages: beautiful music, makes life worth living Disadvantages: I REALY WISH THE AUDIO QUALITY WAS GOOD
Neil Percival Young was born on November 12, 1945 in Ontario, Canada to Scott Young, a sportswriter and novelist and Edna-Ragland (Russy). His parents decided to part ways when he was 12. her mother moved to her family home in Winnipeg, Manitoba and here youngNeil began his distinguished music career.
NeilYoung is a true artist, a very highly gifted singer, song-writer, musician who was at ease with number of musical instruments like piano, harmonica and of course who can forget his claw-hammer acoustic guitar. With his electric guitar solos he drove his fans to frenzy.
I cann?t but say the selection of songs in the album couldn't been better just have a look at the least of songs this album contains:
(1) Harvest
( 2) Heart of Gold
(3) A Man Needs AMaid
(4) Out on the week end
(5) Needle and the damage is done
(6)There ...
Advantages: Great Tracks Throughout With Some of The Best Lyrics Around Disadvantages: There's A World Slackens The Pace A Bit
I am in all truth, no great fan of rock critics, many of whom either rely upon flattering their own ego to produce a piece of musical criticism that usually falls into simply stating faults and then adding a couple of lines relating to positives. This though can also be reversed, with the positives given and the negatives pushed under the rug, and yet even though I do admit that I would do much the same in many cases, the review that Rolling Stone Magazine, (previously) one of the most respected rock magazines around, gave for Harvest by NeilYoung seems to me more self-indulgence than criticism. The rock critic who rated this review panned this album on far too many levels, when it is now, rightly, seen as a brilliant piece of rock history and now sitting as No.78 on the Rolling Stone Magazine 500 Greatest Albums, retribution if there ...

The Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS audio tracks provided on this disc will play on a standard DVD player. Following up the energetic, one-two punch of RUST NEVER SLEEPS and LIVE RUST, Neil Young takes a more understated route with 1980's HAWKS & DOVES. On rustic tracks such as "Little Wing" and "The Old Homestead" (both written in the mid-'70s), Young revisits his HARVEST era with a spare sound that relies heavily on his distinctive voice and acoustic guitar. As the album progresses, its scope widens both musically and lyrically; "Stayin' Power" is a jaunty, piano-driven tune about the power of love, while "Comin' Apart at Every Nail" is a guitar-laden hoedown that comments on the US government. This surprisingly patriotic tone (especially coming from a Canadian) This politically minded theme takes on a surprisingly patriotic tone on the album's closing title track, the Canadian songwriter's flag-waving tribute to the United States. A highly underrated record, HAWKS & DOVES features some of Young's finest songs of the '80s.

Album Reviews
Musician (5/94, p.69) - "...The first half [of HAWKS & DOVES] is made up of muted, spooky acoustic music. The second rips hard, building up as it goes along to create a vivid snapshot of the U.S.A.'s turning away from Jimmy Carter's liberalism to embrace the temptations of Ronald Reagan...."
