Today is the launch of my book on Neil Young. The much celebrated singer-songwriter whose brilliance and versatility has shone through the decades from 1963 to the present day!
I have greatly enjoyed researching someone who has been a personal favourite since way back in the sixties.
In the realm of singer songwriters, few have been as influential as Neil Young, whose music has always been creative and relevant throughout six decades. Neil is a chameleon for whom boundaries of genres do not exist. He has delved into folk, country, r&b, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, hard rock, electronic and pop and made them his own. But the sixties were his launch pad. This book follows his music through that seminal period when he played with The Squires, Mynah Birds, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Crazy Horse and The Stray Gators. During this seminal period, Young wrote or co-wrote some of his greatest songs, including ‘I Am A Child’, ‘Southern Man’, ‘Helpless’ and – most importantly – ‘Ohio’. It is the story of how one of the most seminal artists of the last fifty years learned his trade – every band, every twist and turn and every track.
I review and talk about every album, every band and every single track. All the background, explanation and intrigue! Everything you ever wanted to know!! A fascinating read! a fun journey! A wealth of information! Entertaining too!
The fabulous Neil Young is revealed in all his glory right from the beginning!!
