 Classic Neil Young Biography Returns in Expanded New Edition One of the most acclaimed books ever written about Neil Young is back in print, with a newly revised and expanded edition packed with fresh material for longtime fans.
Third Man Books has announced the release of an updated edition of Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass, the celebrated biography by award-winning music journalist Sylvie Simmons. Long unavailable, the book returns with more than 90 pages of new content, including some of Simmons' favourite previously unpublished interview material with Young, spanning from the 1990s through to the 2020s. Originally published by MOJO in 2001, Reflections in Broken Glass follows Young's remarkable journey from leaving his native Canada for California in 1966 to becoming one of rock music's most influential, uncompromising and enduring artists. Drawing on decades of interviews with Young, along with conversations with friends, collaborators and fellow musicians, Simmons delivers an intimate portrait of an artist who has consistently forged his own path. From Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Crazy Horse and an expansive solo career, Young's story is told with insight, depth and rare access. The expanded edition also revisits some of the lesser-known chapters of Young's life, exploring his health struggles, environmental activism, personal relationships and the stories behind many of his most iconic recordings. Simmons, who first interviewed Young in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, reflects on his unpredictable nature in the book's new preface. "One thing that never changes is you never know what you're going to get," she writes. "Same with his approach to music. It's one of the reasons we're fans." Since its original publication, Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass has been widely praised as one of the definitive books on the legendary singer-songwriter. Kirkus Reviews called it an "unpretentious, effective profile" that thoughtfully captures both the triumphs and personal struggles that have shaped Young's extraordinary career. For devoted Neil Young fans and music lovers alike, this expanded edition offers the chance to rediscover a long out-of-print biography that remains one of the most insightful portraits of one of rock's most compelling artists. Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass is available now in paperback from Third Man Books. Opmerkingen zijn gesloten.
