Free Music Notes for Chrome Dreams II CD/DVD Special Edition

Free Music Review: Not as good as I hoped
Hit: 3 Stars

I was a little surprised with this CD/DVD.

There are some great tracks such as Ordinary People & Beautiful Blue Bird, but there are several fillers too.

I feel Neil is trying to get some of his unreleased stuff out too hastily.

I'd rather he take more time and release a good polished studio CD such as Silver & Gold was.

Chrome Dreams II CD/DVD Special Edition 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 McGonigal
