Additional Reading

David Downing, A Dreamer of Pictures: Neil Young, the Man and His Music (1994), attempts to put Young’s long and varied career in perspective. Michael Heatley (compiler), Neil Young: In His Own Words (1997), is a long interview that reveals as much about Young’s attitudes as it does facts. Johnny Rogan, The Complete Guide to the Music of Neil Young, ed. by Chris Charlesworth (1996), is an exhaustive track-by-track examination of Young’s output. Paul Williams, Neil Young: Love to Burn (1997), presents an empathetic if somewhat oversensitive portrait. Don McLeese, "Neil Young," in Anthony DeCurtis et al. (eds.), The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll, 3rd ed. (1992), pp. 324–331, offers a good basic introduction to Young’s life and work.
