From the Vinyl Vault: Neil Young’s Harvest
November 7th, 2011 by Kevin Chadwick
Canada gets ripped on a lot. But not very many people know that Canada is the birthplace to one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. No, not Bryan Adams. I’m referring to the ever-changing, folk-rock/country genius that is Neil Young. I dived into the WLOY Vinyl Vault and searched for Young’s Canadian “heart of gold” on his album Harvest.
Released in 1972, Harvest was the fourth studio album released by Young on the Reprise Records label. The album consists of 10 tracks of the country rock and folk rock variety. Two of the tracks, “A Man Needs A Maid” and “There’s A Love,” feature the incredible backing of the London Symphony Orchestra. Arguably the most famous track on the album, “Heart of Gold,” became a number one single in the US that year. Read the rest of this entry »
