About Glen Boyd

I am a longtime music journalist, whose work has appeared in The Rocket (former editor), as well as Spin, The Source, SeattleP-I.com and Blogcritics Magazine (former music editor). I am currently a regular contributor at Cinema Sentries (http://cinemasentries.com/writer/glen-boyd/). My artist interviews have included Steven Wilson, The Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Marillion, Pegi Young, Ice T and many others.You can check out my Blogcritics portfolio (600+ articles) by following this link:http://blogcritics.org/author/Glen-Boyd/My Cinema Sentries articles can be found at http://cinemasentries.com/writer/glen-boyd/My first book, Neil Young FAQ, was published by Backbeat Books/Hal Leonard Publishing in May 2012. Neil Young FAQ is an unauthorized guide to the music of the legendary rock artist, with detailed information on every song he has ever recorded. I also share regular news and updates on Neil Young's career - which remains as active as ever - at the Neil Young FAQ Blog:http://neilyoungfaq.wordpress.com/I am also a veteran music industry professional, who began his career managing record stores in the Seattle area, before going on to national positions in sales, marketing, promotion and publicity for a number of record labels. These include Nastymix (where I helped launch the career of Sir Mix A Lot) and American Recordings (where I also worked with Mix A Lot, along with The Black Crowes, The Jayhawks, Johnny Cash and numerous others). Of all my achievements in the record industry, I am probably most proud of the work I did with Sir Mix-A-Lot, taking him from the streets of Seattle to both Gold and Platinum Records, and finally to the Grammys and the American Music Award's (where I was thrilled to be seated next to him when he won an AMA for "Baby Got Back").Specialties: Journalism, Editing, Writing, Sales, Marketing and Promotion, with particular expertise in music and entertainment (though not exclusively limited to these areas).

    "Neil Young FAQ" is the first definitive guide to the music of this mercurial and methodical, enduring, and infuriating icon. From the Archives to Zuma and from the "Ditch Trilogy" to the Geffen years, this book covers every song and album in painstaking detail - including bootlegs and such lost recordings as "Homegrown", "Chrome Dreams", "Toast", and "Meadow Dusk". Obscure facts and anecdotes from the studio to the road, along with dozens of rare images, make this book a must-have for Young fans.
