Best Selling Books by Neil Young

The perfect gift for music lovers and Neil Young fans, telling the story behind Neil Young''s legendary career and his iconic, beloved songs. “I think I will have to use my time wisely and keep my thoughts straight if I am to succeed and deliver the cargo I so carefully have carried thus far to the outer reaches.”—Neil Young, from Waging Heavy Peace Legendary singer and songwriter Neil Young’s storied career has spanned over forty years and yielded some of the modern era’s most enduring music. Now for the first time ever, Young reflects upon his life—from his Canadian childhood, to his part in the sixties rock explosion with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, through his later career with Crazy Horse and numerous private challenges. An instant classic, Waging Heavy Peace is as uncompromising and unforgettable as the man himself.

Lenda do rock e do folk, criador do Buffalo Springfield, líder da banda Crazy Horse, parceiro de Crosby, Nash e Stills, um dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos e um dos músicos mais influentes de sua geração. Ao longo do último meio século, o cantor e compositor Neil Young construiu uma carreira de sólido sucesso nos Estados Unidos e no resto do planeta. O recente lançamento mundial de Neil Young – A autobiografia, no entanto, revela uma personalidade multifacetada – para muito além do que os fãs de sua música poderiam imaginar. Colecionador de automóveis e especialista em modelismo ferroviário (é dono de uma empresa do ramo), há anos Young investe e trabalha num projeto de carro elétrico. Não qualquer carro, mas o chamado Lincvolt, um gigantesco Lincoln Continental movido a energia renovável e limpa (Young sonha em ser sustentável sem prejuízo para a paixão americana por carrões). O compositor também desenvolve, às próprias custas, a PureTone, alternativa digital à tecnologia dos MP3, capaz de distribuir música online e de proporcionar para o consumidor final um som com qualidade similar à dos discos de vinil. Young escreveu de próprio punho uma narrativa fragmentada, com o vai e vem aleatório das recordações determinando a ordem em que as histórias são apresentadas. É por meio desses flashes do passado, e por constantes divagações do autor acerca do presente e do futuro, que o leitor toma contato com essa impressionante diversidade de interesses do artista. Da mesma maneira, episódios marcantes vêm à tona fora de ordem cronológica, exclusivamente ao sabor da inspiração do momento. Os parceiros na música, as grandes amizades, os amores, a paixão pela esposa Pegi e pelos filhos Zeke, Ben e Amber, entre muitos outros temas, vão surgindo conforme avança o fluxo da memória do autor. Como um pungente solo de guitarra de Neil Young, sua autobiografia parece nos envolver e nos transportar para um outro lugar, um outro tempo – o tempo do sonho hippie de paz, amor e rock''n''roll.

Quirky and wonderfully candid, Neil Young''s second book of reminiscences is as compelling as his first book. He returns with more unforgettable stories about his six decades in the music business - but this is not your average rock biography. He centres this work on one of his life''s passions, cars, using the framework of all the cars he''s ever owned to construct a narrative of his life and career, exploring and demonstrating how memories are attached to objects. Young also expresses regret for the environmental impact of his past cars, and now passionately advocates the use of clean energy. ''Special Deluxe'' is a mix of memoir and environmental politics by one of the most gifted and influential artists of our time.

(Guitar Recorded Versions). The long-awaited Neil Young - Harvest folio has arrived -- and it''s certainly worth the wait!

Neil Young took on the music industry so that fans could hear his music—all music—the way it was meant to be heard. Today, most of the music we hear is com-pressed to a fraction of its original sound,while analog masterpieces are turning to dustin record company vaults. As these record-ings disappear, music fans aren''t just losing acollection of notes. We''re losing spaciousness,breadth of the sound field, and the ability tohear and feel a ping of a triangle or a pluckof a guitar string, each with its own reso-nance and harmonics that slowly trail off intosilence. The result is music that is robbed of its original quality—muddy and flat in sound compared to the rich, warm sound artists hear in the studio. It doesn''t have to be this way, but the record and technology companies have incorrectly assumed that most listeners are satisfied with these low-quality tracks. Neil Young is challenging the assault on audio quality—and working to free music lovers from the flat and lifeless status quo. To Feel the Music is the true story of his questto bring high-quality audio back to musiclovers—the most important undertaking ofhis career. It''s an unprecedented look insidethe successes and setbacks of creating thePono player, the fights and negotiationswith record companies to preserve master-pieces for the future, and Neil''s unrelentingdetermination to make musical art availableto everyone. It''s a story that shows how muchmore there is to music than meets the ear. Neil''s efforts to bring quality audio to his fans garnered media attention when his Kickstarter campaign for his Pono player—a revolutionary music player that would combine the highest quality possible with the portability, simplicity and affordability modern listeners crave—became the third-most successful Kickstarter campaign in the website''s history. It had raised more than $6M in pledges in 40 days. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, Neil still had a long road ahead, and his Pono music player would not have the commercial success he''d imagined. But he remained committed to his mission, and faced with the rise of streaming services that used even lower quality audio, he was determined to rise to the challenge. An eye-opening read for all fans of Neil Young and all fans of great music, as well as readers interesting in going behind the scenes of product creation, To Feel the Music has an inspiring story at its heart: One determined artist with a groundbreaking vision and the absolute refusal to give up, despite setbacks, naysayers, and skeptics.

The deluxe eBook edition of Waging Heavy Peace includes excerpts of more than fifteen Neil Young songs (personally selected by Young himself) such as "After the Gold Rush," "Like a Hurricane," and "The Needle and the Damage Done," providing a soundtrack to his stories. Interspersed throughout the text are ten rare Young videos from his own archives, offering an uncommon behind the scenes glimpse of the man behind this memoir. In addition, a complete discography guarantees that diehard devotees and new fans alike enjoy the ultimate Neil Young experience. For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming his fear of singing alone; forming Crazy Horse and writing "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl in the Sand," and "Down by the River" in one day while sick with the flu; joining Crosby, Stills & Nash, recording the landmark CSNY album, Déjà vu, and writing the song, "Ohio;" life at his secluded ranch in the redwoods of Northern California and the pot-filled jam sessions there; falling in love with his wife, Pegi, and the birth of his three children; and finally, finding the contemplative paradise of Hawaii. Astoundingly candid, witty, and as uncompromising and true as his music, Waging Heavy Peace is Neil Young''s journey as only he can tell it.

One season they were a bunch of blokes, drinking and cheering their way through six-a-side soccer; the next season they were all fathers or expectant fathers playing as Fertile FC and going home straight after the game to nurse mother and child. United in a desire not to come last, this assortment of men now found themselves united in something much bigger the challenging transition into fatherhood. Recounted in engaging, self-depreciating voices, the men write openly and honestly of the excitement, worries, hopes and fears that come with the looming responsibility of becoming a good team player in a completely new team. They found themselves in a range of contemporary family constellations and birthing experiences. There is a young first-timer, one 48-year-old first-time father, one father having his second child, one with a step-child, and one dad already with children to a different partner. They recount natural home, water and hospital births, a birthing centre birth, a breech and caesareans. Each chapter is one man s narrative about how he met his partner and contributed to the pregnancy and birth of their child; and what it was like afterwards. The only experts here are the actual men who went through it. Running alongside is their shared experience of their six-a-side football team, which in season one entered a social soccer competition as beginners, in season two became fathers, and in season three became champions.
