This week, the man once likened to a cross between Nick Cave and Johnny Cash - Henry Wagons (of Wagons fame) - joins host Jeremy Dylan to discuss the seminal, rollicking classic 1972 Americana album "Harvest" by Neil Young.
They talk classic tracks "Heart of Gold", "Out on the Weekend" and "Old Man" and along the way, discuss the strange international journey of the album's recording, why the album wouldn't have been made the way it was today, why Nashville is such a great place to record, how the album has influenced Henry's own recording process and how he's indoctrinating his offspring with the album.
My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.
Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker and music industry exec from Sydney, Australia. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the feature film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, in addition to many commercials and music videos.
