Neil Young is one of rock 'n' roll's most important, influential and enigmatic figures; an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum - until now. In this biography, McDonough tells the whole story of Young's life and career. Starting with his Canadian childhood, it covers the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield, the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and the simultaneous monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, through the depths of the Tonight's the Night depravity and the strange changes of the Geffen years, to Young's unprecedented 90s comeback with Ragged Glory and Harvest Moon.… (mere)

I've been a semi-fan of Neal Young, I have 4 of his CD's as well as 3 he did with CSNY. Reading this book made me a non-fan. I simply didn't like the guy portrayed in this book. It's an 800 page book, and the first 500 pages are more about drugs than music. Plus, to say the guy is self-absorbed doesn't even come close. I don't think I'd want to even spend 5 minutes in the same room with him. I'll still listen to the music I have, but the man himself seems a waste of talent. Why did I read the whole 800 pages? Well, honestly I skimmed a lot, and read the interesting parts. I've read biography's of David Crosby, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, and other musicians and always enjoyed them. Not this one. ( )

The stuff here about Buffalo Springfield and CSNY is kind of a snooze but the rest is really entertaining, especially when the author gets angry and pulls a Phil Towle (hahahahaha). ( )

Being a huge fan of Neil Young, someday I am going to return to this book.

This is an enjoyable biography of a true musical master and one not necessarily required for just fans. Though, a fan's appreciation of Young will increase after reading this biography.

The book details everything from Young's incredible hearing to his infuriating behavior toward his fellow musicians. ( )

When Neil Young enters what his authorized biographer calls signature trance-outs, he can play endless, indecipherable music that grows enveloping almost in spite of itself. The author of ''Shakey,'' a mammoth portrait of the artist and lively exhumation of rock 'n' roll history, has shaped his book the same way.

Yes, nearly 800 pages of text -- including long interview passages immortalizing Mr. Young's every ''gonna,'' ''wanna'' and ''kinda'' -- make this sound like a flabby undertaking. On the other hand, Jimmy McDonough's sprawling book exerts a deep, stubborn fascination. Its view of the man once nicknamed Ancient History Up Close (by the 80's group Devo) reflects the mutable pop culture in which Mr. Young has remained afloat for nearly 40 years, evolving unpredictably and single-mindedly without a whiff of compromise.
