Features: Interactive Menus, Scene Selection, Featurette Handlung: 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, All
