Neil Young’s web site has news of a new album, Chrome Dreams II, scheduled for 16 October. Seven of the ten songs are newly written; two of the tracks promise to be ambitious works, running to 18 and 13 minutes. Young is set to tour to support the release.
Chrome Dreams was the title of an album aborted in 1977, though the project supplied several Young classics, notably Like a Hurricane, Powderfinger, and Pocahontas for later album releases. A widely circulating 12-track bootleg has been a fan favourite since the early 1990s.
If Chrome Dreams II is as impressive as the bootleg, it will banish the memory of the disappointing Greendale and Living With War, and continue the strong recent run started with the must-have Live At the Fillmore East (1971>2006) and Live At Massey Hall (1971>2007) CD/DVD.
