Product Information
In 1966, an aspiring singer - songwriter drove a battered funeral car 2000 miles from his native Canada to Los Angeles to seek his fortune in the music business. After Niel Young left the Californian folk - rock band The Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential singer - songwriters of his generation. Young's body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth. Featuring new and previously unpublished interviews with close friends and musicians, Simmons's wonderful biography provides startling new insights into Young's music, shedding fresh light on his family life, behind - the - scenes relationships and health problems. It also uncovers new facts about his friendship with Charles Manson, and closely examines his schizophrenic '80s output and musical return to form as the Godfather of Grunge in the '90s.Product Identifiers
