bullet "Heart Of Gold" was Neil Young's first big hit single, and it brought him mainstream success as well as international stardom. The song "put me in the middle of the road," as Young recalled.
bullet At the time of its release, many critics felt Harvest was too lightweight and sentimental, showing a dip in Neil Young's standards.
bullet While his earlier, better-known songs like "Mr. Soul", "Down By The River," and "Cinnamon Girl" were quirky and dark, "Heart Of Gold" was distinctly laid back and warm in contrast. The overall mellow mood of the song, and the album in general, played a large role in gaining a wider audience for Young.
bullet In order to ensure the good vibes in the song, Young brought James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt along to provide backing vocals.
bulletA bad back just might make for easy-going rock: Young might have been shooting for a more commercial sound on Harvest, but he also had a back injury at the time, which prevented him from doing any strenuous electric guitar rave-ups -- hence the album's acoustic feel.
bulletHarvest was the first album Young worked on with the Stray Gators, a group he was to work with again with great success.
