The life of rock's most durable troubadour in his own words

Neil Young on Neil Young: Interviews and Encounters is a revealing anthology of Young's most significant, fascinating, and entertaining discussions, declarations, and dreams. This book chronicles fifty years of conversations, feature stories, and press conferences.

With many interviews widely available for the first timeβ€”including new transcriptions and first-time translations into Englishβ€”the book spans Young's words and ideas from 1967 onward. It covers his early days with Buffalo Springfield, the 1970s Harvest-fueled celebrity apex, an artistic rebellion and 1980s commercial dip, the unexpected 1990s revival as the Godfather of Grunge, through to his multi-decade victory lap as a living legend.
