After the abrasive, guitar-heavy sound of Ragged Glory, Harvest Moon found Young returning to the more gentle, acoustic-based arrangements of his 1972 classic Harvest.
- Harvest Moon was Young's first album released after his divorce from Pegi Young, and the title track is often interpreted as a direct address to her.
- The album was a commercial success, reaching number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually earning platinum certification in the US and Canada.
- Recording sessions took place at Young's ranch in Northern California, with many of the same musicians who played on the original Harvest album, including Ben Keith and Spooner Oldham.
Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for his distinctive, sometimes ragged, vocal style and his genre-spanning work in folk, rock, and country. Harvest Moon arrived late in his career, following the much rawer, guitar-driven Ragged Glory, finding Young in a more reflective, mellow mood.
