Free Music Notes for Chrome Dreams II
Free Music Review: Chrome Dreams II
Hit: 3 Stars
Chrome Dreams II being Young's 30th studio album and his 2007 release is a continuation of Chrome Dreams which was supposed to have been released in 1977 but as of this day remains unreleased. The album was met by generally positive reviews and Allmusic, Q and Uncut gave it 4 stars but Rolling Stones, The Guardian and Metro gave it 3 stars. I feel inclined to give it 3.5 stars but since I can not then I give it 3. The album is quite uneven. Tracks such as boxcar and beautiful bluebird are quite good. However, Ordinary people is a rambling 18 minute track that seems happy to just ramble. The booklet is very nice with all the lyrics included, a list of whom plays what and some very nice photographs. 3/5.
Chrome Dreams II Poster
What we have here is easily Mr. Young's finest work in years, one that erases the memory of his well-intentioned but anemic 2006 protest album, Living with War. Recorded using analog gear, with Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina, pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, and Rick Rosas on bass, CD2 manages to sound both home-grown and experimental. It's the work of an artist still not afraid to take chances, who also knows what his strengths are and doesn't stray too far from them. Trainspotters will note that three of the ten songs were written but never released before, while we all might puzzle over the title. Chrome Dreams is the name of an unreleased album from 1977. So, why is this Chrome Dreams II? Is it a similar case to 1992's Harvest Moon, when Young went back to the virtual land of his 1972 hit Harvest to write more material in that vein? As the original was reportedly lost in a fire, we may never know. Chrome Dreams II offers up gorgeous, plaintive laments and country-tinged numbers sung in that achy breaky, heart-on-sleeve voice of Young's, as well as ragged barn-storming rockers delivered with a growl. There's even an 18-minute dirge that excitedly mixes R&B back-up horns with searing electric guitar leads! Wow. --Mike McGonigalClassic Rock Music CDs
