I really appreciate you wanting to discover the music of my time. Glad you are enjoying it. Kinda wish you coulda been there. You would have really liked it.
I remember first listening to this as a young teenager in 1974 on a HiFi in my older brother's room. He had the "Harvest " album. He just turned 70 last week. Time flies.
@L33Reacts check out Harry's other hit Taxi, another great song, also other great songs about fathers would be Leader of the Band by Dan Folgleberg and Everything I own by Bread
Saw Neil in 71 about a week before Massey Hall show. He played Heart of Gold, Old Man, and Needle and Damage Done. He was in pissy mood and played 40 minutes and walked off stage with no encore. Listen to Buffalo Springfield “Broken Arrow” for an early work of Neil’s. So unique for time.
Check out the record “ Metamorphosis “ by Iron Butterfly , 1970 , incredible album , all my guitar playing buddies agree it was beyond its time and is still great !
Love that you are connecting with the music emotionally and analytically. The artists of my youth helped me learn to think, not what to think. Promotes personal growth. Love your reactions, don't apologize and keep talking!
Neil is one of my favourite artists, such a wonderful songwriter with many great tunes. Certainly, one of the most underrated guitarists too. I love his playing - so melodic, unique and instantly recognisable - he always manages to make his guitar sing. And Crazy Horse is such a great band too.
The album Harvest is in a class all by itself. A breakout for Neil as a solo artist that showed a depth of soul and heart and guts that blew us all away in the early 1970’s. Don’t feel bad for not having an immediate reaction to describe what you just heard with a Neil song 🎶 especially one like this. It’s elusive and enigmatic. Speaking to the heart and soul, not the head. There are no words…
Yeah this is real soul music. It just speaks to you on such a deep and primal level it defies description in the beginning. But if you give it time, the words will come.
When they were recording “Harvest” in Nashville in 1971, Neil asked Elliot Mazer to find a session pedal steel player on short notice. Ben Keith was a longtime pedal steel player in the Nashville country music scene. He went on to collaborate with Neil for nearly 40 years, both on record albums and on tours. Keith was even staying at Neil's Broken Arrow ranch in California when he died of a heart attack in 2010.
For any NY fans out there who aren't aware, there's a 15-minute jam of this (that was featured in his "Journey Through the Past" movie): it was when he and the Stray Gators were still trying to flush it out. Worth a listen, if you dig the song.
Lee I’m so impressed with your willingness to try new music and how thoughtful you are describing how it makes you feel. I also appreciate you sharing with us when the music just doesn’t do it for you…it’s refreshing to hear that you’re discerning. So thank you.❤ I’ve seen Neil live about 30 times beginning when I was 12. That was on CSNYs first tour (their live album called 4 Way Street was from that). My 2 older sisters and I were huge fans since his Buffalo Springfield days. I finally get to take my 29 year old daughter to see him next month and she tells me that then she can check that off of her Bucket List. I’m super excited!
jealous....to see CSNY on that tour and Neil that often! I'm 52 and born in Ireland so have only got to see Neil about 10 times and seen all the combos of CSNY apart from the four together, you must have some excellent tales to tell and to now be going with your daughter...excellent parenting
One of the best albums ever made! Great critique! Lee, you’re moving in on 20,000! So happy for you and your channel. Also I was caught off guard about The fact you were adopted? I as well as your subscribers would be very interested in your upbringing and background. Congratulations Lee! You’re killing it on the reactions ❤
Thanks man I appreciate it. Almost 17k! Wild stuff. 10k was a goal and now it's 20k. Might as well keep going and see how long I can keep up with it :) I don't want to get huge. I'd be happy with 100k. Anything past that would be too many folks lol
Neil Young experienced massive success with the album Harvest. He then experienced a sense of retreat, alienation and melancholy..this song seems to capture that. His next three albums were known as the “ditch trilogy”. This appellation comes from a rather awesome NY quote. Referring to Heart of Gold, Neil wrote, “That song put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but saw more interesting.people there.” On the Beach is the middle album of the ditch trilogy, full of non-mainstream awesome songs worth looking at. (Most of my comments are pulled from the wiki page I visited to make sure I got the above quotation right.) the songs I best remember are Motion Pictures- a beautiful mellow pothead meditation, Vampire Blues- an attack of the oil industry, Revolution Blues- a response to Charles Manson and family. So anyway- the point is, you being a NY fan, might want to check out On the Beach at some point.
There's a film in the 50th anniversary boxset and on NY Archives with a clip of Nash and Stills singing their harmony piece on this track. Amazing piece of film, both have a beer in hand on either side of the mic while Neil watches. Exc footage of Neil's Topanga ranch too, you get to see how a rich hippy is living a very simple life. he is an original in every way possible.
I like how you do the off the mainstream songs. Many great ones. stephen Stills has great bangers on his first solo album. With help from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix."Church" and "old times good times."
Neil's 3rd album with Crazy Horse, After the Goldrush, is a favorite. Songs are short & very chill so you can double up if you want. Side 1 should be played in order & Southern Man/Till the Morning Comes must be heard together. Don't Let It Bring You Down & Birds are the only ones I like from side 2.
You might review some from his After the Gold Rush album that came out around the same time. It has several good songs on it including Southern Man, Only Love Can Break your Heart and Tell Me Why among others.
You summed Neil Young up pretty well when you said his recordings are raw. Neil was the antithesis of what goes on today with digital trickery, ProTools, Autotune, etc. Neil didn't even believe in using much overdubbing. He preferred recording the whole band playing together, and he didn't even believe in going back to clean it up. If he felt a take was right, captured his song, he released it, even if it wasn't perfect.
This is a very fine album but I have to admit I never was into this particular song. Neil's earlier After the Gold Rush album has a lot of fine songs, including the title track and Only Love Can Break Your Heart. His Country Girl on the CSNY Deja Vu album is really good also.
Another of my top albums of all time. My second favorite NY song after Helpless. When Heart of Gold is the second worst song on an album that's saying something.
The way you seem to be feeling now is how I felt as a teenager listening to these albums as they were released…welcome to real rock written and played from the heart and soul of these masters!😅 the sad thing is that when you’re my age and pop music is garbage and CSNY heirs are releasing their 100 year remaster on whatever technology is around to survive the climate floods you may not find anyone in the media to remind you of just how it felt to “discover” this music. Have fun, take it slow and listen to entire albums (you wouldn’t just view a flower in a Monet, you have to see the background and surroundings!) And one other thing …I suggest you don’t listen to cat’s in the cradle again…it never stop causing that reaction to those of us with parent issues! I didn’t watch your reaction because i won’t listen to the song.😭
Harmonies were by Stills and Nash. Nash and Crosby even came on to help out on the Harvest Tour later into it when Neil's vocals went out on him (blew them out and it lasted almost a year but long enough to record Tonight's The Night so the shattered, creaky voice actually lent itself better to that brilliantly loose and sloppy LP).
![ปฏิเสธไม่ไหว (Crush on you) - LIPTA feat. No One Else [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NBw1jF342vw/mqdefault.jpg)
My favourite Neil's tune...
I love this whole album, but somehow I keep coming back to this song as his best on the album.
You will love on the beach, its a great album
Those solos sends shivers up my spine.
I really appreciate you wanting to discover the music of my time. Glad you are enjoying it. Kinda wish you coulda been there. You would have really liked it.

Tempus fugit, brother. It’s crazy.
I love the way he switches time signatures right in the middle of the song
I love this track so much. I slept with this album as a young teenager! Such a fine album!
✌️❤️🤟🥁
This is one of those albums that you need to hear all at once.
take a listen to Birds when u have a moment
50 odd years later and he is still as relevant as ever
"It's true. It's everything rock 'n roll should be." You are damn right! No way to say it better. Keep going, brother.
I appreciate you brother 🙏 thank you so much
I was 17 when I bought this, on the strength of Heart of Gold. Have loved it, and especially this track, ever since.
I was 15 when I bought it
I've always thought this song shows Neil's greatness on guitar...subtle but awesome...keep up the great reactions
The Stray Gators sounding their most Crazy Horse on this track.
Neil is a vibe. His vocal and guitar are pure emotion
He really is a vibe. A mood. A sudden reality. I love it.
Just hear the rehearsal of that song !! About 9 minutes of happiness !!!
You nailed it brother, “it’s Neil Young dude”
Welcome to the club, Cats in the cradle fucks with alot of fathers! Neil rocks!
Yeah that song fucked me up lol but it was needed
@L33Reacts check out Harry's other hit Taxi, another great song, also other great songs about fathers would be Leader of the Band by Dan Folgleberg and Everything I own by Bread
This album is the soundtrack to my youth. Definitely listen to A Man needs a Maid

This album is so good have it ❤
More barn 🤩

Love your reactions, don't apologize and keep talking!
Gotta learn to think for yourself.. indeed! Nowadays you are told what you should feel. Emotions rule the world.
It's amazing how many great melodies he's had in his head all these years.
One of my favorite Neil songs, great reaction. Thanks

Love that you’re hitting the songs that never got airplay. Deep cuts get you deep into the artist.

i purchased this album when i was a young man home on leave. thanks kid o. reflections in time.
The under lying structure of this and a lot of his songs is the waltz.
♥ Love that screaming Gibson LP sound. And the way he plays it with moderation but with raw soul
Pretty sure he’s playing his White Falcon. Guitar has some bite. That great Gretsch sound. 😊
@@anoldmannameddave7455 I always saw him with the Black LP, so I admit I can be mistaken.
❤❤. Neil is an amazing writer
I consider After the Goldrush, Zuma and On the Beach his greatest albums.
Good God, what a ride.
One of the best albums ever made! Great critique! Lee, you’re moving in on 20,000! So happy for you and your channel. Also I was caught off guard about The fact you were adopted?

Neil's solos live give this song a different intensity.
Nobody hears it like Neil Young. Who else plays solos like that - no one.
Subs still going up Lee. Not surprising keep going.

What's to be said....? It's funny... No words for "Words" Love it, and you nailed it bud!!! ❤
Harvest...2nd biggest seller of 1972, after Simon and Garfunkal's Greatest Hits lp.
Harvest is my favorite album of Neil.

Dylan got a Nobel prize based on his lyrics, poetry. Why haven’t Neil and Springsteen. Ridiculous.

Amazing piece of film, both have a beer in hand on either side of the mic while Neil watches.

Don’t forget to listen to “ Cinnamon Girl” from the previous Album you’ve been playing 👍🏻❤️🎼
odd time signature on this one, it changes
I like how you do the off the mainstream songs. Many great ones.
stephen Stills has great bangers on his first solo album. With help from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix."Church" and "old times good times."

Nice song. Would love to see you react to "Southern Man". 4 Way Street live version if possible would be great,
Hadn’t heard this in ages. Bought Harvest when it came out. Love his early work. You should check out Buffalo Springfield if you haven’t already.
Harvest was the best-selling album of 1972 in the United States.
You might review some from his After the Gold Rush album that came out around the same time. It has several good songs on it including Southern Man, Only Love Can Break your Heart and Tell Me Why among others.
