Neil’s latest collection of essays, Far and Near: On Days Like These, is slated to release from ECW Press on October 14. The book is a compilation of monthly posts from his blog, News, Weather & Sports, in which he shares his thoughts on making music, touring, hiking, and riding his motorcycle, mostly around the United States and Europe. It’s a follow-up to his 2011 compilation of essays Far and Away: A Prize Every Time. Those essays were from July 2007 to November 2010.
