Neil Young

Neil Young

Neil Young, who has made musical and visual innovation a constant during one of rock & roll's most exciting and unpredictable careers, is, yet again, in the midst of a flurry of creative activity and output. This summer saw the release of "CSNY: Déjà Vu," a film he directed (as Bernard Shakey, his nom du cinema) that documents the 2006 Freedom of Speech Tour undertaken by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young highlighting the music (and the reaction to it) of Neil’s Living With War album.

Later this year, the long-anticipated Archives—Volume I (1963-1972), a 10 disc (Blu-ray and DVD) retrospective will be released. The very comprehensive collection chronicles his earliest forays into recording, the start of his professional career, years with Buffalo Springfield and, thereafter, his initial solo successes.

Neil 2003 Greendale album, which has already yielded a feature film, and was staged this summer at New York’s Ohio Theater as Neil Young’s Greendale based on a production created by the Undermain Theater in Dallas where it ran for five weeks this past spring. A Greendale-based graphic novel by artist Cliff Chiang and writer Joshua Dysart will be published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint next year.

Neil’s Lincvolt project (and accompanying film) reflects his continuing efforts on behalf of the sustainability and the planet. “Repowering The American Dream” is the project’s slogan and is keyed to a 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible that has long been one of Neil’s favorite cars. Joining forces with Jonathan Goodwin of H-Line Conversion in Topeka, KS, the two have begun a process that will see the almost 40 year old, two and a half ton car transformed into an eco-attuned cruiser. The car will be entered in the Automotive X-Prize, a ten million dollar international competition to create an economically viable vehicle that averages more than 100 miles per gallon.

Neil and Pegi Young will, again, this year host the annual Bridge School benefit concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. The 22nd annual Bridge Concerts will take place on October 25 and 26, to benefit the Bridge School, an education program dedicated to ensuring that children with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities through the use of augmentative and alternative means of communication and assistive technology application.
