Golden Fields: Exploring Neil Young’s Harvest (1972)

 In this episode, we unpack Harvest, Neil Young’s 1972 masterpiece that blends country warmth with stark vulnerability. Often labeled his most accessible album, Harvest is more than just mellow melodies—it’s a meditation on fame, fragility, and fractured love. We explore the stories behind tracks like “Heart of Gold,” “Old Man,” and “The Needle and the Damage Done,” and discuss how Young’s raw honesty and sparse arrangements created a sound that still resonates over 50 years later.
