  SPACE.com -- The 2004 Harvest Moon Occurs Sept. 28
The Harvest Moon Moon is the one that comes the closest to the September equinox, so this year it falls in September, although in one out of three years this title can be bestowed upon the October Full Moon.
Many think the Harvest Moon remains in the night sky longer than any of the other Full Moons we see during the year, but that is not so.
The reason for this seasonal circumstance is that the Moon appears to move along the ecliptic, and at this time of year when rising, the ecliptic makes its smallest angle with respect to the horizon for those living in the Northern Hemisphere.

'Harvest Moon' is largely the latter, loping and lilting its way through love and nostalgia through all but three of the songs featured here.
'Harvest Moon', then, has a pleasing feel for the most part but is a little short on substance.
Released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Young's most popular album, "Harvest", "Harvest Moon" is not a sequel per se, but it has the same feel, and some of the musicians are even the same as in 1972.
