Title: Harvest Moon it ain't...
Product review: Okay, what a boring record this is! And given how good Neil's work with country-folk can get, that's not good at all. Several songs ("Good to See You"; "Daddy Went Walkin'"; "Red Sun") sound like campfire singalongs. You know, the kind of things most people cut from their albums, and leave in the vaults until they put out an odds-and-sods album: he also embarrasses himself with the nauseating "Buffalo Springfield Again", a tribute to his old '60s group. Another song with embarrassing lyrics is "Distant Camera", a metaphor about life being a photograph. Entertainment here sadly comes in bits and pieces, unlike Harvest, Harvest Moon or Prairie Wind: the simple beauty of "Horseshoe Man"; the modest, unpretentious title track and "The Great Divide". When you take everything into account, though, this is clearly one of Young's lesser albums.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
