Both are good, but the Moon one is the one I return to the most.


I know this is an old post but yeah, Harvest Moon MAY just be my favorite Neil album period.

There are artists I don't bother ranking. Hank. Gram. The Stones (I toss a lot of shit, but). Neil. The Replacements, Thunders, you get me. I don't feel like I have the damn right.

They hit you in the heart too many times.

Natural Beauty rules. Harvest Moon is in my top 5 Neil records for sure, and definitely >> Harvest. It's got like four masterpieces and a bunch of solid tracks and then Such a Woman. Funny how Harvest and Moon each have a shit orchestral track to skip (though the solo Such a Woman on the 92 Live Archive release is alright). Beyond the title that's the clearest "sequel" link to me.

Also I always assumed Interstate was a Harvest Moon outtake but apparently it's from the 80s and was recorded during the Ragged Glory sessions which makes no sense to me - do I have that right? Either way it's beautiful and should maybe still be stuck into HM somehow:

Heart of Gold makes me deliriously happy and impossibly sad all at the same time. Can't beat that feeling.

Agreed. Old Man? Needle and the Damage Done? Heart of Gold? A Man Needs a Maid? Wow.

Yeah exactly. Harvest is fantastic. At this stage in my life though (and really the last 10 years I would say), I have just turned into more of a Harvest Moon guy. From Hank to Hendrix, Unknown Legend and Naturally Beauty (and the titled track of course) are all top tier Neil tracks regardless of the era. And to be honest, Classic Rock radio stations have basically ruined a lot of great Neil tracks from me, especially Old Man and Heart of Gold.

I know Heart of Gold is so overplayed, but I will never lose my love for that song.

I think a mark of a great artist is that you can fall in love with different albums, eras, because there is such depth there.

The Spotify/Apple Music ban, because they can't capture the quality...

First thing I thought is Neil's ears are blown by now.

I have access to his catalogue because I own it, but it makes me sad that there are a lot of young people not hearing him.

I first heard Neil on cassette. Shit sound, but you think that kept me from falling in love?

I do get that artists are getting fucked.

I would subscribe to a Drag City service.

Been listening to Young on Spotify a lot the last couple of days because he'll probably just change his mind again and take everything back off

Old Ways is a very good, straight-up country record and the best of his Geffen albums.

I love Sleeps with Angels despite a bit of bloat (there's a pair of songs with different words over basically the same melody and backing track). It has a unique sound for crazy horse, lots of space in the arrangements. Title track is his Kurt Cobain song and an attempt to echo Nirvana's sound, but it sounds like hearing your upstairs neighbour play In Utero through the floor. Change Your Mind is a solid 15 minute Neil Horse song and Blue Eden is a weird spacey thing that sounds like little else he's done.
