Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Here's another big, pictorial rock star tribute masquerading as a critical biography. In this case, the two-faced nature of the endeavor is entirely appropriate, thanks to the complex, maybe even enigmatic character of its subject. Hailed as the godfather of grunge, Neil Young has enjoyed a long, prolific career as both solo act (or--same thing--fronting the otherwise middling Crazy Horse) and member of two of the most revered bands ever, Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. The twists and turns of his creative endeavors provide more than enough material for Heatley to make this British import rewarding and informative in spite of itself and the British tendency to emphasize singles more than album-oriented American rock writers do and than American fans usually appreciate. Oh, there's no exhaustive discography in it, and in places Heatley indulges the ubiquitous and insane rock critic's proclivity for trying to verbally describe individual songs, but it's a pretty good-looking take on a rocker whose career is still growing in importance.
