NEIL YOUNG: LONG MAY YOU RUN BY DANIEL DURCHHOLZ & GARY GRAFF
1ST COMPLETE “ILLUSTRATED HISTORY” BOOK ON ROCK’S MOST INFLUENTIAL AND ENDEARING
TRAILBLAZER CELEBRATES FIVE DECADES IN WORDS AND PHOTOS / SUMMER 2010 TOUR
 Neil Young |
Voyageur Press has joined forces with renowned rock journalists Daniel Durchholz (Rolling Stone)
and Gary Graff (New York Times) for the brand new book, Neil Young – Long May You Run: The
Illustrated History. This lovingly assembled tome – the first complete illustrated history published about this legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee – arrives May 15, 2010 to coincide with Young’s Summer 2010 tour
and celebrate five decades of genre-spanning work, perfectly mixing expertly researched text and many never-before-seen photos. This heavy duty 224-page volume follows Young’s long-and-winding career, from the early days of Buffalo Springfield, on through CSNY, and of course, his unpredictably exhilarating solo career.
Interest in Young’s music remains at an all-time high – as evidenced by the recent emergence of vintage archival
releases from throughout Neil’s career, including the mammoth box set, Archives Volume One, as well as
Dreamin’ Man: Live ’92, Live at the Riverboat 1969, Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968, Live at
Massey Hall 1971, and Live at the Fillmore 1970. Neil Young – Long May You Run: The Illustrated
History will
serve as the perfect visual accompaniment the next time you bust out one of the aforementioned titles, as it is
without a doubt the most comprehensive book about Neil Young to be released to date.
All summer 2010 tour dates are available below.

RICHMOND FONTAINE FRONTMAN NEW NOVEL LEAN ON PETE RELEASED APRIL
13
 Richmond Fontaine |
Tuesday April 13 was the official U.S. release date for the third novel from Richmond Fontaine‘s Willy
Vlautin, Lean On Pete. It has been extremely well received so far in the U.K., Ireland and
Australia.
“As one boy’s journey, Lean on Pete is as real as blood: as a novel it is remarkable. Willy Vlautin, romantic
and realist, has written something special that will make you shudder, weep, rage and wonder at how such things
happen and do, and how some individuals such as Charley can suffer them, absorb the grief, and somehow survive. How good is contemporary U.S. fiction? This good: catch your breath good.” -Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
Willy is heading out on the road to do a bunch of readings. Support your local bookstore and come on out to a
reading. For a lucky couple of cities guitar man Dan Eccles and Willy will play as the RF Acoustic Duo. See
