The Harvest 50th Anniversary Edition box set drops on December 1, just 24 hours before Neil Young: Harvest Time opens. Neil Young: Harvest Time will debut December 1 in select theaters worldwide, with an encore presentation on December 4. I hope you enjoy this story, which is Harvest Time, and which talks about everything that happened.” Debuting in 1972, a year after the infamous 1971 year in music, Harvest was this country’s number one selling album of that year, and has remained Neil Young’s signature and most referenced album. 50 Years Later we all know just what this young hippy type kid. “I had a great time and now when I listen to it, I think I was really just lucky to be there. In 1971 Neil Young truly was Young and an artist that had more to bring to the world then anyone knew, except Neil Young. Harvest is the fourth studio album by Canadian / American musician Neil Young, released in February 1972 on Reprise Records, catalogue number MS 2032. “I was 24, maybe 23 and this album made a big difference in my life,” Young says of Harvest. The film, shot between January and September 1971, includes footage of Young creating and recording Harvest classics like “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold,” as well as other songs from the RIAA-certified four-times Platinum album. Neil Young: Harvest Time “takes viewers on an intimate journey to Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California for the ‘Harvest Barn’ sessions, to London for an iconic performance with the London Symphony Orchestra, and to Nashville where the then 20-something Neil Young worked on various tracks of this signature album,” according to the distributor, Trafalgar Releasing. Not only is the rock legend releasing a box set commemorating the 50th anniversary of his landmark Harvest album, we’re also getting a film documentary to go along with it. Over a long career, this remains my favorite Neil Young song and one of my favorite songs, period. From it sere beginnings, the bitter turns bittersweet and the song runs smooth like country clockwork for three minutes that pass too quickly. December’s a big month for Neil Young fans. Perhaps no song on Harvest uses the sneaky rhythms of its instrumental interplay so well as Old Man.
