From his early days with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young through his long solo career, Neil Young has been one of the most prolific, passionate and - at times - perplexing artists of our times. Influential and idiosyncratic, his career has never followed a predictable, linear progression. From album to album, he's changed styles and explored new musical territory, sometimes frustrating his fans but more often than not delighting them. One of rock's most restless spirits, he's now in his fifth decade but has never stopped writing, recording and performing and his work remains as vital today as it ever was. With detailed accounts of the writing and recording of his classic songs, Journey Through the Past is an essential companion to one of the most important of all rock repertoires.
