Harvest Moon (album)
Harvest Moon is the 19th studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on November 2, 1992. Many of its backing musicians also appeared on Young's 1972 album "Harvest". Recordings. Recovering from a case of tinnitus that had come about after the recording of "Ragged Glory" (1990) and its subsequent tour (which produced the 1991 albums "Weld" and "Arc"), Young returned to the studio with Ben Keith, picking up the acoustic guitar, piano and banjo that had dominated albums such as "Harvest", "Comes a Time" and "Old Ways". 1970s-era analogue equipment was used instead of  digital recording to achieve a "warmer" feel, though the album was in fact recorded on Sony PCM 16/44.1kHz digital. The subsequent 1992 tour was recorded and ultimately released on the 2009 "Dreamin' Man" live album, containing Young's solo renditions of all "Harvest Moon" tracks in a different order. Reception. Music website "Classic Rock Review" named "Harvest Moon" its album of the year for 1992. It earned the 1994 Juno Award for album of the year. Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic described the melody of the title track as "positively gorgeous". The album continued Young's commercial and critical resurgence following  Freedom and "Ragged Glory", eventually outselling both of those records.
