Excelent rendition, I'm sure Neil has heard it and gave his approval. It's creative, provocative, moving, colorful. All the qualities of great musicians.
Only Cassandra Wilson can take a song like Neil Young's Harvest Moon and sing it like it was meant to be her song. How does one do that? Just ask Cassandra. Thumbs UP and THEN SOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cassandra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
I felt quite reluctant to listen to this take on Neils vibe, though I want to thank you for keeping it pure without losing it's integrity & and I do feel Cassandra has done the song great justice.
A new found level of respect for Cassandra Wilson.
"I'm always imagining some sort of story behind the song, even the ones I haven't written. I'm actively engaging in playacting." ~ Cassandra Wilson #quotes @CarmaDillon
This is what it would sound like if you were floating on a cloud with no musical direction. Even though it's a beautiful characteristic song/melody, this ends up just floating/flying. Weak.
I hear ya loud and clear Cassandra... "You can't be contentious and make love all at the same time. Which would you rather do!?!" Thanks for posting Rodehihi. Good to see someone else that enjoy the heart and soul of real musicians.
This thing is addictive. Thank you so very much for posting it. It's downright ethereal.
Cassandra's voice is evocative of so many beautiful emotive qualities that I'm back feeling what I felt when I discovered "love" the very first time. What a rainbow of memory!
@pvdv1466 This song is off New Moon Daughter there were two guitarists on the album both very different, and complementary one was Kevin Breit, who lives in Elora, Ontario, Canada The black rythym guitarist isn't Kevin the slide playing here is in Kevin's style, but I don't know if it is him yet he did some touring with her, also with Nora Jones the thumb close-ups are very "Kevin like" by 5:19 I'd say it's Kevin, to her right if you ever get a chance to see him play, and you like guitar GO!
The way this is presented, she and her crew basically paint a moving picture as you lay back, close your eyes and just lose yourself in the song. Simply amazing.
Sorry to expose the king with no clothes but,,,,Nah! you people who compare this to Neil Young or say she rules it are in fact,,,all wrong. sorry I think it stinks
The original was beautiful and has been given a special treatment by one of the best muxical interpreters of our time. I like another poster's comment..."NOT for children..." a truly adult love song.
I did Cassandra with this song and a spliff and some incredible Haitian rum. A friend of my was working "The Box" a music video show in Miami and brought this for me. A tiny bowl of crippie, a shot of that rum and this song? I will never forget how long it took me to find my body after that.
Damn. Ms. Wilson, where have you been? I bet Neil listened to your version and just said one word. " Bitch". What a rendition of this classic. The band performers were point on each note. Finger picking to slide. Great job. Cudo' s to each player. You are what musicians should copy themselves after. Ms. Wilson, your voice is unique, sexy yet rich and strong. I looking forward to more of you. Thank you.
" there is no longer the fear of death, for death is no more. You are in everything - more than that, you are everything. And thus you would forever be after this interpretation. I - l-o- v-e-y-o-u.
If Cassandra Wilson's singing doesn't reach into your heart and touch something deep inside your soul, you are resisting. I love Neil Young and I love Cassandra Wilson. They are two different artists, that's all.
now that's the way.. to pervert and kill the mood, the meaning and warmth of a classic song... only to make it fit in a long drawn out boring style, that shames the original... she's a great singer... but should have picked a more mediocre song to butcher... cause this one means something to me... has she even seen a harvest moon? driving in the fields while the men cut fields in the moonlight? waiting to enjoy the feed when the days work is done? its my opinion only... but shame on her...
@SladderBux: you have got to be kidding. Her rendition is utterly gorgeous. She's taken Neil Young's song and given it a completely different spin. I've rarely heard anything so sensual. This performance literally brings tears to my eyes.
@LanguorousLass I will offer you the respect that this version has meaning to you.. i mean.. why should i judge.. but to me... this version is like trying to repaint a Divinci... and attempts to make it more powerful a painting from the original.
if you like it, then thats ok.. but to me.. its a very poor attempt at such a beautiful song.. and totally sucks the wind out of it...
@LanguorousLass it's a fine thing when two can agree on something and find some common ground.. now lets work on the gaza strip... i have half a roll of scotch tape, if you have some cardboard layiing around.. im shure we can end that conflict also...
You missed it all. This is the way a real woman interprets that beautiful song. And the musicianship is so profound I guess it all just went over your head. So take note. This is making love. All of making love. There is a vast difference between making love and screwing. If you want to take her out of body and make her remember you forever, listen and learn. Slow baby. Real slow and easy. Be in the moment with it.
Oh, the mood....beautifully woven, it just melts all over you if you sit with it and let it take you away. Cinamatography for the ears. I have no doubt Neil would be proud to hear his song done with such sensitivity and sensuality. Awesome.
I love both versions. While somebody called the intro pretentious, as a musician, I call it absolutely brilliant. When I first heard it, I had a tiny bowl of some very special hydroponic and I floated right out of the world on her voice and this music. The bowed bass and guitar are just perfect!!!!
@tommy1991dcfc you apparently need to get some new speakers and a heart. also, might want to look up the word pretentious before you use it again so as to avoid looking stupid.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Self indulgent twaddle. I'm all in favour of reinterpretation but this is 3.50 of pissing about followed by a redition of Harvest Moon that captures none of the joy expressed in the lyrics or the original version. She interprets every song the same way, regardless of what the song is about.
I don't totally agree with you, though I quite agree with you on your comments on this partcular song.
No one can deny that her reinterpretations have a lot of originality. If neil young were to cover a cassandra wilson song he'd probaby sing it the way he sings all his other songs and not the way cassandra wilson wold sing, and neil young too is quite repitetive.
Her cover of I cant stand the rain is simply brilliant, so don't say that she interprets every song the same way
i prefer this version much better than neil young's. it's so atmospheric and open. love it. and cassandra's voice is much more rich...but i guess it's all in what you like. i love this shit. for the instrumentalist to be able to play it like it's studio and to be so calm and allow the feel to just go out into the audience...loves it
When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart. But now its gettin late And the moon is climbin high I want to celebrate See it shinin in your eye. Because Im still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because Im still in love with you On this harvest moon
Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin We could dream this night away. But theres a full moon risin Lets go dancin in the light We know where the musics playin Lets go out and feel the night. Because Im still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because Im still in love with you On this harvest moon.
I also agree with Kajwilhelm... I just don't get the same depth of emotion fro Cassandra as I get from Neil. She's certainly a good singer, but this is one of those songs where the original is just so powerful that any other version just seems to miss the mark, at least for me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I agree with you kajwilhelm, give me Neil Young any day. The simplicity of the song is surely lacking in this version. And, yeah, Neil's beautiful voice. Don't like this at ALL>
I love Cassandra Wilson and will finally get the chance to see her live in Chicago during the Hyde Park Jazz festival...VIP seats!! Beans n Rice for two weeks but she's worth it!
This is too much"art" version of this legendary song in my taste. Don't get me wrong, the singer & the band are technically great, but after this I just have to listen to Youngs original.
omfg where has this young lady been. While I m certainly not a big Neil Diamond fan, I do love the hell out of this song.I keep coming back to listen to Diamod s version and saw this version, Thought I d give it a listen. Gave this old 63 year old burnt out white man goose bumps. The arrangement ws great, the musicians awsome, the voice fantastic. I would pay to see and hear this group and Ms Wilson.
I remeber when I first hear this song. It was covered by a korean girl by the name of Yozoh. And shortly after that... like a few weeks later, I had my radio on Jazz FM, and I was sleeping and then second I heard "but there is a full moon rising" I instantly came out of my deep sleep and I simply enjoyed it as I was sleeping. I felt a feeling that i've never felt in my entire life. What her voice does to me is inexplicable. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, wonderful rendition.
As with every single other Youtube video in existence, there is a ridiculously stupid argument in the comments section. Who cares whether one person likes Neil Young's version better and someone else prefers Cassandra's? Apples and oranges. This song is a gift to the world. It's mature, inspiring, unique, and makes people believe in love.
I think I prefer Neil's version, but this one's nice too. In the end it's a matter of taste, and I tend to prefer rock/singer-songwriter music to jazz.
OMG, you are killing yourself with that kind of attitude. What are you, one of those idiots that wants everything stay the same as it ever was? Never change one darn' thing in redneck heaven? I really like the original of neill young, but this is also a wonderfull version. Different, but it has a pureness that makes you understand how brilliant this song is ... this version or the original. And she sings in tune, something Neill was never capable off (in a great way though ;o)
natteaap...I believe you misspoke..Neil is not a red-neck...I certainly agree with the rest of your content here. This is an absolutely gorgeous rendition...Peace
If you read that I said, Neil is a redneck, then I must apologize. I never meant to call Neil a red-neck. I did not even want to call Singi69 a red-neck, I just wanted to say ... if ... or ask him the question if he was ... But I don't want to call anybody a red-neck ... unless you are off course.
dat bitch got robot armz... jk. sick version. much sadder than the original.

omfg where has this young lady been. While I m certainly not a big Neil Diamond fan, I do love the hell out of this song.I keep coming back to listen to Diamod s version and saw this version, Thought I d give it a listen. Gave this old 63 year old burnt out white man goose bumps. The arrangement ws great, the musicians awsome, the voice fantastic. I would pay to see and hear this group and Ms Wilson.

I remeber when I first hear this song. It was covered by a korean girl by the name of Yozoh. And shortly after that... like a few weeks later, I had my radio on Jazz FM, and I was sleeping and then second I heard "but there is a full moon rising" I instantly came out of my deep sleep and I simply enjoyed it as I was sleeping. I felt a feeling that i've never felt in my entire life. What her voice does to me is inexplicable. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, wonderful rendition.

well put Blues'n Swing!! it's Young's song and Wilson paid respect with this fresh and original rendition and THAT'S a feat, for any true artist

As with every single other Youtube video in existence, there is a ridiculously stupid argument in the comments section. Who cares whether one person likes Neil Young's version better and someone else prefers Cassandra's? Apples and oranges. This song is a gift to the world. It's mature, inspiring, unique, and makes people believe in love.

Yeah, I'm a huge Neil fan going back to the days when he was really, truly young. But I can enjoy this unique interpretation of Harvest Moon.

I think I prefer Neil's version, but this one's nice too. In the end it's a matter of taste, and I tend to prefer rock/singer-songwriter music to jazz.

OMG, you are killing yourself with that kind of attitude. What are you, one of those idiots that wants everything stay the same as it ever was? Never change one darn' thing in redneck heaven? I really like the original of neill young, but this is also a wonderfull version. Different, but it has a pureness that makes you understand how brilliant this song is ... this version or the original. And she sings in tune, something Neill was never capable off (in a great way though ;o)

If you read that I said, Neil is a redneck, then I must apologize. I never meant to call Neil a red-neck. I did not even want to call Singi69 a red-neck, I just wanted to say ... if ... or ask him the question if he was ... But I don't want to call anybody a red-neck ... unless you are off course.
