Sophie’s staff pick”Growing up with this album, it’s one I keep going back to. I walked down the aisle to ‘Heart of Gold’ which was also the first song I learned on guitar. And I’m a huge Linda Ronstadt fan”

Recognized as one of Young’s (and hence one of rock & roll’s) finest albums,Harvest put the singer on the mainstream map with the mega-hit “Heart of Gold,” which defined a soft folk-rock style frequently revisited by lesser artists throughout the 1970s. It also features some of his darker compositions, like the entropy-obsessed “Old Man” and the junkie eulogy, “The Needle and the Damage Done,” one of Young’s most haunting and compelling songs.
