Long out-out-of-print, Third Man Books is reissuing Neil Young: Reflections in Broken Glass at last. Written by rock journalist Sylvie Simmons, and first published in 2001 by the UK's leading music magazine MOJO, this revised edition includes more than 90 pages of some of the author's favorite unedited interviews with Neil Young, from the 1990s to the 2020s.

In 1966, a young singer-songwriter drives an old battered hearse 2000 miles from Canada to L.A to seek his fortune. Sixty years later Neil Young is still making music, the survivor of an astonishing career that has taken in the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Crazy Horse, numerous collaborations and a staggering number of albums. Simmons first met Young in the early '80s in an underground car park in L.A:

“There was a party nearby for his movie, Human Highway, ” Simmons writes in the preface to the new edition. “Devo, his co-stars, were there. But Neil was hovering in a dark corner of the garage. I walked over with my cassette recorder and he hid behind a car. 'I’m not here, ' he said. I said, 'Yes you are.' Over the four and a half decades since that encounter I've interviewed him many times. One thing that never changes is you never know what you're going to get. Same with hisapproach to music. It's one of the reasons we're fans.”

Reflections in Broken Glass is an extended profile of that career through 2000's Silver and Gold, based on interviews Simmons conducted with Young's friends, fellow musicians and Young himself. The book is packed with insights into his life and work—family, health issues and behind-the-scenes relationships, including a brief friendship with Charles Manson—that still remain relevant all these years on.

The critically-acclaimed first edition of Neil Young: Reflections In Broken Glass sold out. Third Man is delighted to give it a new life.
