In the fall of 2005, Neil Young returned to the sound and style of his iconic 1972 album Harvest with Prairie Wind, a set of ten songs which look to America's past and future accompanied by sweet but rough-hewn country-rock. The album was written and recorded after Young was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, and shortly before he went into the hospital for surgery for the condition, Young played a pair of special concerts at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, where he performed the Prairie Wind album in full along with a set of old favorites. Filmmaker Jonathan Demme was on hand to film the shows, and Neil Young: Heart of Gold was culled from the best moments of those two concerts, as well as interviews in which Young talks about his life and music. Emmylou Harris appears as a guest vocalist, and Young's band includes long time accompanists Ben Keith on pedal steel, pianist Spooner Oldham and Pegi Young (Neil's wife) on acoustic guitar and backing vocals. By the way, Neil Young enjoyed a full recovery after his surgery. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    40 years in the music business and still going strong. This is as much a tribute to his career as it is to his latest album and tour. His voice and guitar playing are better than ever and he's joined by life-long friends on stage making flawless folk-rock sounds. Demme got out of the way so the music could speak for itself, and, it does. Very good sound production. A real gem.

    A very enlightening and insightful grand performance of the man, his thoughts, and and his music. Even before the music begins, you are offered the visual of Neil Young with shorter hair dressed in a pastel southern style suite and country hat (see dvd cover) that is as much revealing of the Neil Young of today as it is in the contrast of how one might remember him from his earlier days. His comments on roots & inspiration for various songs are humble & heartwarming (take note of "Old Man"). Yes, this is a film, but it is one of a concert, and if you can, do yourself a favor and provide yourself with as much electronic devices to recreate and maximize a concert setting for the full measure this performance deserves. You will not be disappointed.

    If you like Neil Young you will love the film. If you do not care for him, you will not like the film. It is simply a concert inclulding his "hit"s.
