    "e;This book uniquely and successfully sustains a cohesive analysis of the work, career, and reception of a single artist . . . Neil Young."e; -Daniel Cavicchi, author of Tramps Like UsAs a writer in Wired magazine puts it, Neil Young is a "e;folk-country-grunge dinosaur [who has been] reborn (again) as an Internet-friendly, biodiesel-driven, multimedia machine."e; In Neil Young and the Poetics of Energy, William Echard stages an encounter between Young's challenging and ever-changing work and current theories of musical meaning-an encounter from which both emerge transformed.Echard roots his discussion in an extensive review of writings from the rock press as well as his own engagement as a fan and critical theorist. How is it that Neil Young is both a perpetual outsider and critic of rock culture, and also one of its most central icons? And what are the unique properties that have lent his work such expressive force? Echard delves into concepts of musical persona, space, and energy, and in the process illuminates the complex interplay between experience, musical sound, social actors, genres, styles, and traditions.Readers interested primarily in Neil Young, or rock music in general, will find a new way to think and talk about the subject, and readers interested primarily in musical or cultural theory will find a new way to articulate and apply some of the most exciting current perspectives on meaning, music, and subjectivity."e;A fascinating and unique reading of Neil Young's music."e; -Literary Review of Canada"e;[An] intriguing, elegantly written analysis of Young . . . Exemplifies the fruitful union of musicology and cultural studies."e; -Cotten Seiler, Dickinson College
