A concert album from the Harvest Moon tour called Dreamin’ Man Live ’92 was released in 2009 as part of Young’s ongoing Archives series.Ĭopyright © 2022, ABC Audio. Harvest Moon was also named Album of the Year at Canada’s Juno Awards, and outsold both Ragged Glory and its predecessor, 1989’s Freedom. It’s been RIAA-certified double Platinum for sales of 2 million copies. In addition, Nicolette Larson and Neil’s sister, Astrid Young, lent their backing-vocal talents to Harvest Moon.įeaturing memorable songs like “ Unknown Legend,” “From Hank to Hendrix,” “ War of Man” and the title track, Harvest Moon was a huge success, reaching the top 10 in both the United Kindgom and Young’s home country of Canada in the U.S., it made the top 20. The two, along with Crosby, Stills & Nash, had sung backups on Harvest, as well. Īlso returning were Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor on backing vocals. On Harvest Moon, three of the group’s original members - pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, bassist Tim Drummond and drummer Kenny Buttrey - were joined by famed songwriter and session keyboardist Spooner Oldham. Neil was accompanied on Harvest Moon by backing band The Stray Gators, which also had played on Harvest, but with a slightly different lineup. Like Young’s classic ’70s albums Harvest and Comes a Time, Harvest Moon featured acoustic guitar, piano and banjo, rather than screaming electric guitar. The result was Harvest Moon, which marks its 30th anniversary Wednesday. But when 1992 rolled around, Young, who was suffering from tinnitus, decided to mellow out a bit. Neil Young started the ’90s by rocking out on the album Ragged Glory, and subsequent 1991 live albums Arc and Weld.
