SHAKEY: NEIL YOUNG(ISBN=9780679750963) 英文原版 下载 115盘 pdf snb 夸克云 tct kindle azw3

　　Neil Young is one of rock and roll’s most important and

enigmatic figures, a legend from the sixties who is still hugely

influential today. He has never granted a writer access to his

inner life – until now. Based on six years of interviews with more

than three hundred of Young’s associates, and on more than fifty

hours of interviews with Young himself, Shakey is a fascinating,

prodigious account of the singer’s life and career. Jimmy McDonough

follows Young from his childhood in Canada to his cofounding of

Buffalo Springfield to the huge success of Crosby, Stills, Nash and

Young to his comeback in the nineties. Filled with

never-before-published words directly from the artist himself,

Shakey is an essential addition to the top shelf of rock

biographies.

　　Jimmy McDonough is a journalist who has contributed to such

publications as Variety, Film Comment, Mojo, Spin, and Juggs. But

he is perhaps best known for his intense, definitive Village Voice

profiles of such artists as Jimmy Scott, Neil Young, and Hubert

Selby, Jr. Jimmy is also the author of The Ghastly One: The

Sex-Gore Netherworld of Filmmaker Andy Milligan. He lives in the

Pacific Northwest.

媒体评论

　　Jimmy McDonoughs fat, teeming, obsessive, and revelatory

biography of Young is a pure shot of all-access pleasure. . . .

Hugely original. Los Angeles Times Book Review

　　Just as unmanageable, hard-headed, overzealous, and ultimately

endearing as Young himself . . . A maddening, beguiling portrait of

an elusive maverick . . . A glorious mess. San Francisco Chronicle

Book Review

　　An exhilarating match-up of author and subject makes Shakey a

great, gripping read. . . . A must-read for anyone who cares about

Neil Young. Rolling Stone

　　Staggeringly thorough . . . McDonough gets it all: the chaos, the

grandeur, the good times and dreary deaths, the alcohol- and

drug-besotted recording sessions, the broken hearts, and the sheer

unfettered joy of a seriously gifted artist. Salon

　　The definitive book on the subject. The Washington Post

　　Exhaustive, quarrelsome, and sometimes maddening . . . there are

revelations in abundance. The New York Times Book Review

　　Where the average rock-star biography is a tepid, toothless

thing, McDonough has approached his task like a literary

Terminator, steaming ahead with lethal thoroughness. One of the

most penetrative studies of a rock icon ever written. Times

(London)

　　A mammoth portrait of the artist and lively exhumation of rock n

roll history. . . . [McDonough] traces a rich turbulent career in

vivid detail. The New York Times

　　Imaginatively written...not only is Shakey an extraordinary

literary feat of research and affection and endurance, it's an

insight into the art of biography itself.Fort Worth

Star-Telegram

　　Delves further into the life and motives of one of music's most

private individuals than anything previously released. . .

surprisingly comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable. . . .The most

detailed portrait of this shrouded artist to date. San Jose Mercury

News

　　Exhaustively researched, impressively detailed. . . The long

passages in which McDonough steps aside to let Young talk are the

most revealing. One day I'm a jerk, Young says, the next day I'm a

genius. This book argues artfully for the latter.People

　　Like meeting Brando's Kurtz in a cave at the end of Apocalypse

Now. . . . Young comes across as a Jekyll-and-Hyde loner whose life

has unfolded like a reckless chemistry experiment -- a control

freak on an endless quest for the uncontrolled moment. Macleans

(Canada)

　　McDonough is an avid fan, music critic and impartial journalist

all in one. . . . [He] deftly weaves Young's life, actions and art

together. . . . What was known of Young's life before was akin to a

series of rough demos. In Shakey, McDonough delivers a full

double-album. Rocky Mountain News

　　Does what most rock bios dont: It fails to fawn, it delivers the

juice, it subjects the hero to the scrutiny and disappointment of a

fan. . . A page-turning good read..Houston Chronicle

　　Fascinating reading. . . McDonough gives us as good a look at

[Youngs] cards as were likely to get. The Tampa Tribune

　　[Shakey's] unprecedented access makes for an entertaining read:

McDonough, more than any music journalist since Peter Guralnick in

his authoritative Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley, has

succeeded in stripping a star of his iconography.The Observer

(London)

　　Crammed with razor-sharp insights and mind-boggling detail,

Shakey is a rock-solid literary triumph, as inspired and inspiring

as the eccentric figure it evokes with such frustrated

devotion.  The Guardian (London)

　　McDonough . . . pores through Youngs life with vivid prose and

blunt detail, and he is unashamed to insert some stinging opinions.

In his probing conversations with Young, . . . he challenges the

formidable artist in ways that few others would dare. Pittsburgh

Post-Gazette

　　Its hard to imagine anyone trying to better this book. . . It has

what Young values above all else. . . passion.Evening Standard

(London) -- Review
