It was Neil Young’s first big hit: and despite his ‘legend’ status, he’s really not flirted with the mainstream that often. But Harvest was and is more than just ‘another Neil Young LP’. Indeed, critics say it most certainly isn’t, with preceding solo salvos Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After The Gold Rush trumping it for sophistication and consistency. And Harvest may not even be Neil Young’s best album. It’s the one Neil Young album people who don’t really like Neil Young own. Unintentionally, Harvest made Neil Young more famous than he’d ever been… Oddness followed, with one-armed drumming in old kitchens and the classic mixing instruction “More barn!” shouted from a boat. Wary of his growing fame and suffering a debilitating back problem, 1971 saw Neil Young retreat from the limelight to record a simple “homey” LP.
