Neil Young is Dan Rather’s first guest for the new edition of Rather’s series, The Big Interview.
Young will be featured on the September 13 episode on AXS TV, the cable and satellite channel said Monday. The singer-songwriter discusses his new album, Earth, and topics including his childhood polio and his experience with the band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Other music stars to be interviewed by Rather this season include Meat Loaf (airing September 20); Martina McBride (September 27); Olivia Newton-John (October 4) and Michael Buble (October 11). Additional guests will be announced, AXS TV said.
A marathon of past Big Interview shows will air on September 10, including Rather’s conversations with Frankie Valli, Merle Haggard, Gene Simmons and Loretta Lynn. An interview with the trio of Crosby, Stills & Nash will also air as part of the retrospective.
