Produktbeschreibung

An unpretentious, effective profile by an author unafraid to voice her own opinions. Simmons traces the legend’s erratic progress as he switches bands at whim… and intriguingly brings to light Young’s surprisingly close relationship with Charles Manson. She sensitively charts the way the darkness in Young’s life has underscored his prodigious recording career.  Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass was originally published in 2001 as part of the MOJO MAGAZINE/Canongate Heroes series. This new edition will contain all the original material plus three new chapters. Sylvie Simmons has been covering and interviewing Young since he arrived in the USA over 50 years from Buffalo Springfield, to CSN&Y, to Charles Manson, to his solo career, to his personal and family struggles with health, The book is a retrospect covering his career and personal life based on Simmons' interviews with Young plus additional sources. The new chapters update the book with Young's more current professional and personal life.
