The Greatest Music
Harvest
by Neil Young
The 143rd greatest album of all time
Harvest, released in 1972, blends acoustic folk songwriting with country rock and mellow rock arrangements. The album pairs spare guitar and harmonica with prominent pedal steel, piano and occasional string arrangements, and features Young's plaintive voice and reflective lyrics on themes of solitude, aging and relationships. Tracks such as Heart of Gold and Old Man sit alongside more expansive, orchestral-tinged pieces, creating a varied but cohesive record that helped define Young's early 1970s sound and his presence in folk rock and country rock.
