Exploring a time in this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's life that has yet to be documented with such depth of research, Young Neil is an exhaustive document of his Sugar Mountain years, from 1945 to 1966. From his birth in Toronto through his school years in Florida, Ontario, and Manitoba, the book examines the development of Young's unique talent against a backdrop of shifting postwar values, a turbulent family history, and a musical revolution in the making.
