Neil Young is one of rock and roll”s most important, influential and enigmatic figures, an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum – until now. Shakey is the whole story of Young”s incredible life and career: from his childhood in Canada to the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield; the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and the monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; to the depths of the Tonight”s the Night depravity and the Geffen years; and Young”s unprecedented nineties ”comeback”.
Shakey (the title refers to one of Young”s many aliases) is also the compelling human story of a lonely kid for whom music was the only outlet, a driven yet tortured figure who controlled his epilepsy via ”mind over matter”, an oddly passionate model train mogul who, inspired by his own son”s struggle with cerebral palsy, became a major activist in the quest to help those with the condition.
This long-awaited, unprecedented story of a rock ”n” roll legend is uniquely told through the interwoven voices of Mc Donough – biographer, critic, historian, obsessive fan – and the ever-cantankerous (but slyly funny) Young himself.
