About this deal

Chrome Dreams II is the 28th studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young. The album was released on October 23, 2007 as a double LP and as a single CD. The album name references Chrome Dreams, a legendary Neil Young album from 1977 that had originally been scheduled for release but was shelved in favor of American Stars 'N Bars.

Stringman,” is another original performance, included on the Odeon/Budokan disc in Archives Vol. II; prior to that, the song had only appeared on Young’s Unplugged album in a later version, not the original. Another extended work-out, No Hidden Path, is four minutes shorter, half as inventive and feels five times as long. The Believer and Spirit Road pass unmemorably. But just when the listener starts reflecting on Young's waning abilities, two songs arrive that suggest the fire is far from out. Dirty Old Man offers impossibly grizzled punk: the guitars don't sound distorted so much as decomposed, Young's voice fights to be heard above the sludge, but there's something gleeful about the delivery that suggests a sneaking affection for the song's lecherous, alcoholic protagonist.

Pocahontas” is the same version that first appeared on Rust Never Sleeps, but without the overdubs. this is my favourite neil young record, and i've waited for an official release of this for a long time now. my feelings are mixed. so here is a short rundown of my 2023 chrome dreams experience. Writing in The Guardian, Alexis Petridis opined that the album "could have been Young's strongest album of the 70s". [4] Andy Greene (August 2007). "Neil Young to Release Sequel to Unreleased 1977 Album". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on September 3, 2007 . Retrieved 26 February 2008.Sixteen years ago, in 2007, Neil Young puzzled quite a few people when he released a new album called Chrome Dreams II. Only his most devoted followers knew that the title was a reference to Chrome Dreams, an entirely different album he had put together in 1977 before shelving it in favor of American Stars ‘n Bars. The original Chrome Dreams leaked out years later as a bootleg drawn from the ’77 acetate, and many fans felt he had made the wrong choice. “In many ways,” Young biographer Jimmy McDonough wrote in his 2002 Young biography, Shakey, “ Chrome Dreams is a more powerful collection than the haphazard collection of American Stars ‘n Bars.” Weiss, Dan (2009-02-06).

Neil Young – acoustic& electric guitars, banjo, harmonica, grand piano, pump organ, Hammond B-3 organ, vibes, percussion, vocal The 2023 official release of Chrome Dreams has artwork almost identical to the above description, but is credited to musician Ronnie Wood. It’s fair to say that Neil Young has ‘lost’ more albums than most and next month another legendary long-player that was ‘mislaid’ in the 1970s is given a full commercial release.

this release is absolutely overpriced - and still, i bought four copies of this record just with the hope to land on one to keep. the price would be justified if this was a heavy tip-on gatefold sleeve that included two 180gram vinyls. the LPs are super thin, the sleeve is really nice and it's all good, but not for this price. i mean this is being sold for around 68 USD in local stores, which is not acceptable.Neil Young – guitar, vocal; Frank “Poncho” Sampedro – Stringman, vocals; Billy Talbot – bass; Ralph Molina – drums, vocal Finally there's The Way. Gentle, piano-driven and meditative, it comes with both a gorgeous tune and a whopping caveat: the Young People's Chorus of New York City. Inviting a childrens' choir to needlessly dunk a beautiful song in syrup is a cussed, bewildering move. A certain strain of Neil Young fan would expect nothing less.

The album’s only fault is that it should have come out a lot earlier – not just in 1977, but in the timeline of Young’s archival releases. Where others of his generation have trusted outside experts with the rollout of their unreleased material, Young has handled it himself, bringing his famously eccentric hand to the wheel.All these releases come amid Young’s ongoing series of archival reissues. In April last year, he released the ‘Official Release Series Volume 4’ box set, comprising three classic albums from the 1980s – one of his own, and two collaborative efforts – as well as a rare EP that was only ever sold in Australia and Japan.
