Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

The title track from the album of the same name, Harvest Moon is kind of an unofficial sequel to Young's 1972's album Harvest. The two albums share many of the same guest musicians. The album Harvest Moon went gold in January of 1993, platinum in February of 1993, and multi-platinum in 1997.

In keeping with the rural motif of this song, let us not forget that Neil Young has also been an outspoken advocate for environmental issues and small farmers, as demonstrated by his having co-founded Farm Aid, the benefit concert, in 1985.

Cover versions of this song include Cassandra Wilson on her 1995 album New Moon Daughter, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie at a 2007 stage show, and Pearl Jam in 2005 numerous times on their concert tour.

Neil Young's credits on the song "Harvest Moon" include guitar, banjo-guitar, piano, pump organ, vibes, and of course his unmistakable vocals. (thanks for all above to Edna, who you can find on our forums)
