Neil Young

    Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose work is defined by deeply personal lyrics and a distinctive guitar style. His music often moves between folk-tinged acoustic rock and electric-charged hard rock, with his signature, often ragged sound being recognizable across genre experiments. In more recent years, he has incorporated elements from newer musical styles, earning him the title "godfather of grunge." Beyond music, Young has also directed films and is an outspoken advocate for environmental issues and small farmers.

Ze všech aut, které Young kdy vlastnil a řídil, měl vždy nejraději precizně vyrobené veterány. Autobiografii Special Deluxe autor sám ilustroval a vzniklo tak výjimečné dílo – proud vzpomínek, obrazů a názorů jednoho z nejoriginálnějších umělců naší doby. Kniha volně navazuje na úspěšnou Youngovu prvotinu Hipíkovy sny. Kniha je podobně jako Youngova hudba jedinečná a upřímná. Přináší zvláštně namíchanou směs lyriky, vtipu a napětí.

      For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He reflects on his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled a love for the written word, and his early brush with mortality after contracting polio at five. Young shares his struggles to pay rent while with the Squires, his travels across the Canadian prairies in a 1948 Buick hearse, and a memorable performance in a remote town with a polar bear beneath the floorboards. In 1966, he left Canada to pursue music in Los Angeles, where he quickly joined Buffalo Springfield, experiencing their rapid rise and eventual breakup. He discusses going solo, overcoming his fear of singing alone, and forming Crazy Horse, during which he wrote iconic songs like “Cinnamon Girl” while sick with the flu. His collaboration with Crosby, Stills & Nash led to the landmark album *Déjà vu* and the song “Ohio.” Young also reflects on life at his secluded Northern California ranch, his love for his wife Pegi, the birth of their three children, and finding peace in Hawaii. Candid and witty, this narrative captures Young’s journey as only he can tell it.
