Daniel Durchholz and Gary Graff: Neil Young: Long May You Run: The Illustrated History

Durchholz and Graff, both experienced at producing rock compendiums, do a masterful job of relating Neil Young’s singular musical history and illustrating it with rare album and single covers, poster art, photos and other memorabilia that make this coffee-table tome almost as fun as a pop-up book. The only problem is that they were never able to interview Neil—not surprising, given his attempt to thwart publication even of his authorized biography—which forced them to rely on the bio and other secondary material. Still, they fearlessly and meticulously detail his relationships with bands, handlers, family, friends and his all-important muse—as contrarian as it, and he, is—and even manage to provide some new insights.
