Don't Dream It's Over - The Remarkable Life Of Neil Finn
Neil Finn / Crowded House - Book - by Jeff Apter
(2024)
Across five decades and counting, New Zealand-born singer/songwriter and
Crowded House founder Neil Finn has become one of the best-loved
figures in popular music, crafting enough hits along the way -- Weather
With You, Locked Out, I Got You, Fall At Your Feet, It s Only Natural,
and of course Don t Dream It s Over -- to forge his very own one-man
Great Antipodean Songbook. One fateful day in April 1977, teenage Neil
received a transcontinental phone call that would change his life. It
was his older brother, Tim, calling from London, England, with a simple
question: Do you want to join the band? That band, the art-rock combo
Split Enz, would provide the launchpad for a career that has taken in
widespread international success with Crowded House, as a solo artist,
back with Tim in The Finn Brothers, and as a touring member of Fleetwood
Mac.
There have been bumps along the road, including repeated
clashes with Tim and the tragic death of original Crowded House drummer
Paul Hester, but taken as a whole, Finn s story is one of the most
inspiring musical sagas of modern times. Australian author and
journalist Jeff Apter has observed Neil s career from close quarters
since the late 70s, from frantic early Enz gigs to private listening
parties to huge reunion shows and numerous points in between, giving him
the perfect perspective to write this intimate, even-handed biography.
