Harvest - (Neil Young)1972

Harvest yielded Young's only Number One hit, "Heart of Gold," and helped set the stage for the Seventies soft-rock explosion -- both James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt sing on the album. Along with Young, they were in Nashville to appear on Johnny Cash's variety show the week that Harvest was cut with an odd group of accomplished session players that included bassist Tim Drummond, who had played with James Brown. The sound was Americana -- steel guitar, slide guitar, banjo -- stripped down and rebuilt with every jagged edge exposed. The standout tracks include "Old Man" and "The Needle and the Damage Done."

Total album sales: 4.3 million

Peak chart position: 1

My very first Neil Young album and his best acoustic one!

I remember having the bootleg Live On Sugar Mountain before this came out...it didnt have the clean production, but i preferred it. Anyone ever hear it?

No, not me! :envy:

harvest seemed to have alot of hits, but I liked "after the goldrush" the best. I thought "southern man" was neil youngs' signature song.

[Kooperman]

My vote goes to "After The Gold Rush" as well.

[Umma]

I like both equally :D
