Pochette de l’album
"Are You Ready For The Country ?" continue la magie en accélérant un peu le tempo mais en gardant la même recette de chanson de cow-boys dirigée par un piano plus présent. Et toujours cette steel pedal qui n'arrête jamais d'occuper tout l'espace de manière la plus sensuelle et la plus juste possible. "Old Man" est très influencée par un jeu de guitare folk très en vogue en ce début 70 et les choeurs sur le refrain font encore mouche. "There's A World" s'apparente plus à une musique de film, chantée toujours à la manière country par un Neil Young très inspiré. La fin de l'album se veut plus rock et énervée avec un "Alabama" électrique, une basse mise en valeur et un refrain des plus efficaces. La très douce et acoustique "The Needle and The Damage Done" est une courte protest song contre la drogue. Enfin, "Words" clôt l'album avec son riff entêtant, presque obsessionnel.
Harvest est un album immortel, magique et qui s'infiltre par tous les pores de votre peau pour ne plus jamais vous lâcher.
🇺🇸 Biography (English)
Harvest is the fourth solo album by Neil Young and undoubtedly his masterpiece. Under this thick cardboard sleeve, hiding ten immortal pearls, ten wonders tinged pop-folk to country. Tone very acoustic, Harvest is a real harvest of pleasures: acoustic guitar mixes with the pedal steel and superb harmonica solos on "Out Of The Week End", the piano of 'Harvest' gently accompanies the beautiful harmony voice of the sad story of unfulfilled promise, 'A Man Needs A Maid' is seen propelling the firmament of beauty through arrangements played by the London Philharmonic orchestra, 'Heart of Gold' is the only piece of Neil Young which will arrive number one in the US charts. This is a typical country song that deserves its huge commercial success. The harmonica, the Steel guitar and female vocals make this song eternal. 'Are You Ready For The Country?' magic continues accelerating the tempo a bit but keeping the same cowboy song recipe led by a piano present. And always this pedal steel that never stops to occupy all the space so the more sensual and fairest possible. 'Old Man' is very influenced by folk guitar playing very popular in the early 70 and choirs on the chorus are still fly. 'There's A World' is more like a movie soundtrack, always sung in the country by way Neil Young very inspired. The end of the album is more rock and edgy with 'Alabama' electric, bass enhancement and a chorus more effective. The very soft and acoustic 'The Needle and The Damage Done' is a short protest song against drugs. Finally, 'Words' closes the album with its catchy riff, almost obsessive.
Harvest is an immortal album, and magic that seeps through every pore of your skin and never let you go.
