Neil Young's next album will be called Chrome Dreams II.
Chrome Dreams 1 was recorded in the 70s but never released. The tracks from that album were eventually splattered over Neil's next 5 records."Where 'Living With War' and 'Everybody's Rockin'' were albums focused on one subject or style," Young says in a statement, "'Chrome Dreams II' is more like 'After The Goldrush' or 'Freedom,' with different types of songs working together to form a feeling.
On the sessions for the album, Neil Young was joined by Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina, pedal steel guitarist and dobro player Ben Keith ("Harvest," "Comes A Time," "Harvest Moon") and bassist Rick Rosas ("Freedom," "Living With War," "This Note's For You").
On the music itself, Young says, "Some early listeners have said that this album is positive and spiritual. I like to think it focuses on the human condition. Like many of my recordings, this one draws on earlier material here and there. I used to do that a lot back in the day. Some songs, like 'Ordinary People,' need to wait for the right time. I think now is the right time for that song and it lives well with the new songs I have written in the past few months. I had a blast making this music."
Chrome Dreams II will be released on October 16.
