Neil Young ‘Harvest Time’ Documentary Coming To Theaters

Neil Young: Harvest Time is set for a cinema premiere. Shakey Pictures, Trafalgar Releasing and Reprise Records will present the film tracing the legendary singer-songwriter’s landmark 1972 album on Thursday, December 1 with select encores on Sunday, December 4.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Harvest, Neil Young: Harvest Time offers fans never-before-seen footage from Northern California, London and Nashville as Young crafted the album.

A press release detailed the documentary:

Created between January and September 1971, this docu-film takes viewers on an intimate journey to Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California for the “Harvest Barn” sessions, to London for an iconic performance with the London Symphony Orchestra, and to Nashville where the then 20-something Neil Young worked on various tracks of this signature album. Performance and rehearsal content is intertwined into creative storytelling and includes most of the tracks from album Harvest (released in 1972) including “Heart of Gold,” “A Man Needs A Maid,” “Alabama,” and “Old Man.”

“This is a big album for me. 50 years ago. I was 24, maybe 23 and this album made a big difference in my life,” Young said. “I played with some great friends, and it’s really cool that this album has lasted so long. I had a great time and now when I listen to it, I think I was really just lucky to be there. I hope you enjoy this story, which is Harvest Time, and which talks about everything that happened. And now people all around the world can see it at the movies.”
