The Legacy
Neil Young's career spans Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, and decades of volcanic feedback with Crazy Horse. Known for his refusal to repeat artistic formulas, Young followed up the commercial breakthrough of Harvest with the raw, grieving 'Ditch Trilogy' (Time Fades Away, On the Beach, Tonight's the Night).
His unvarnished guitar style earned him the title Godfather of Grunge, inspiring bands from Sonic Youth to Pearl Jam. His life is exhaustively chronicled in Jimmy McDonough's definitive biography Shakey.
