Redirected from Harvest (album)
From the article on Neil Young: After the supergroup split, Young recruited a new group of country session musicians, which he christened The Stray Gators[?] and recorded a country rock record in Harvest. Catching the mood that would soon lift The Eagles to superstardom, Harvest was a massive hit, producing a US number one single in "Heart Of Gold". Other songs returned to some usual Young themes: "Alabama" was an inferior rehash of "Southern Man"; "Words" featured a lengthy guitar workout with the band and "The Needle And The Damage Done" chronicled Danny Whitten[?]'s descent into heroin addiction. The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that "Heart Of Gold put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there."
