When Neil Young's HARVEST MOON album was released on November 2, 1992, it was the 19th studio album by Young. It had been almost 25 years since his debut self-titled release on Reprise Records in 1968, and the impact the artist had on modern music positioned him among a rarefied group of artists and esteemed songwriters.
Like many of Young's creations, HARVEST MOON captured the public's imagination in a way that held it in a class by itself. Now being released on September 22, 2023 as a 3-sided, double album pressed on clear colored vinyl, it takes its place among so many of Young's historic collections as a unique rock & roll set that defines the history of the musical genre. Recorded on analogue equipment using digital technology, songs like "From Hank to Hendrix," "Unknown Legend," "One of These Days" and others immediately found a popular global home with fans of all ages, and showed why Young has remained a groundbreaking artist for the last 30-plus years.
Neil Young had captured the public's imagination once again with a style of music that he had virtually invented. Working with producer/pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, keyboardist Spooner Oldham, bassist Tim Drummond and drummer Kenny Buttrey, the players were able to capture a timeless sound that stood out as its own style in a time when so much other music was moving in a louder, more aggressive direction. As has often happened in Young's life, his shift in a different direction was immensely well-received.
Guest artists on HARVEST MOON included Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Nicolette Larson and Astrid Young, and following Young's albums FREEDOM, RAGGED GLORY, ARC AND WELD, HARVEST MOON again was a clear sign that he was able to pursue different styles whenever the urge occurred.
Long-time fans and newcomers alike embraced HARVEST MOON as one of his most beloved and enduring bodies of work. It was certified double platinum in the U.S., 5x platinum in Canada and gold in the U.K. and Australia, winning the Juno Award in Canada for “1994 Album of the Year.” In its new, clear vinyl release, what originally was the pristine sound of a handful of musicians playing together in an air of soulful sonics comes alive again with a new resonance of wonder.
Als Neil Young Album am 27. Oktober 1992 sein Album
"HARVEST MOON" in Deutschland veröffentlichte, stand
er in doppelter Hinsicht kurz vor einem runden Jubiläum:
Es war sein 19. Studioalbum und erschien nahezu 25
Jahre nach seinem selbstbetitelten Debütalbum bei
Reprise Records. Doch Neil Young brauchte natürlich
schon damals keine runden Jubiläen mehr, um sich den
Leuten ins Gedächtnis zu bringen. Längst war klar, dass
er zu einer erlesenen Gruppe von Künstler:innen und
Songwriter:innen gehörte, die einen bleibenden Einfluss
auf die moderne Musik hatten.
Wie viele von Youngs Werken, hat auch "HARVEST
MOON" die Fantasie des Publikums auf seine ganz
eigene Weise beflügelt. Das gilt in optischer Hinsicht ganz
sicher auch für die kommende (22. September)
Vinyl-Neuauflage des Albums, die als dreiseitiges
Doppelalbum auf Clear Colored Vinyl gepresst wurde und
damit ein besonderer Hingucker ist. Vom Hinhören ganz
zu schweigen: Mit analogem Equipment unter
Zuhilfenahme digitaler Technologie aufgenommen, enthält
das Album Songs wie "From Hank to Hendrix", "Unknown
Legend" und "One of These Days" - ein einzigartiges
Rock-'n'-Roll-Set, das wie so viele Young-Alben Fans in
allen Altersklassen fand. Nicht ohne Grund gehört Neil
Young seit über 30 Jahren zu den prägendsten Künstlern
seines Genres.
"HARVEST MOON" wird als Crystal Clear LP ab dem
22. September überall im Musikfachhandel erhältlich sein.
