In this acclaimed new memoir, New York Times bestselling author Neil Young has fashioned another extraordinary work of reminiscences told through the lens of one of his deepest passions: cars. A lifelong devotee and collector, Young explores his love for the well-crafted vintage automobile and examines his new found awareness of his hobby's negative environmental impact. Witty, eclectic, candid, and filled with Young's original artwork, 'Special Deluxe' will appeal to car lovers as well as the legions devoted to one of the most genuine and enigmatic artists of our time. Neil Young's music and songwriting - which span forty years and thirty-eight studio albums of rock and roll,folk and country,with shadings of blues,techno and other styles - are among the most enduring and popular in modern times.From his early days with Buffalo Springfield through his solo career and collaborators with Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crazy horse,and dozens of other notable musicians and groups, Young is acclaimed for both his musical talents and his artistic integrity.With a major hit in every decade since the sixties,he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. A well-known political activist,environmentalis and philanthropist, Young has been involved in several causes, notably co-founding Farm Aid and the Bridge School,which assists children with physical impairments and communication needs.
