(1993)"Harvest Moon" is a
country-rock album byNeil Young , released in 1992. Due to the abundance of musicians appearing on it who also appeared on his 1972 album "Harvest", "Harvest Moon" is considered a pseudo-sequel to that album.Recovering from
tinnitus that had come about after the recording of 1990's "Ragged Glory " and its subsequent tour (which produced 1991's "Weld" and "Arc"), Young was determined to return to the studio. Returning to Nashville and joining up with compatriots likeBen Keith , Young put down the electric guitar, returning to the acoustic guitar, piano and banjo that had dominated albums such as "Harvest", "Comes a Time " and "Old Ways ".Among the track highlights are the title track, featuring the percussive sweeping of a broom, a song for which Young made a rare music video. An ode to his dog, Elvis, on "Old King" found Young plucking a banjo, while he loved, found and lost throughout songs such as "From Hank to Hendrix" and "Such a Woman".
Ann Wilson , lead singer of Heart, recorded acover version of the song "War of Man" for her 2007 solo release "Hope & Glory" withAlison Krauss .Ben Gibbard , lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, sang a live cover of "Harvest Moon" on May 7th, 2007 at a show in Somerville, Mass.The album earned the 1994 Juno Award for album of the year.
