Stereophile January 2008 Recording of the Month!
Chrome Dreams II is a sequel to Chrome Dreams, a legendary NY album from 1977 that had originally been scheduled for release but was shelved in favor of American Stars 'N Bars. It was produced by Neil and Niko Bolas (aka The Volume Dealers), and features the ensemble of 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). The Blue Note Horns are on one track, "Ordinary People," and The Young People’s Chorus of New York City on "The Way." Most of the recording was done live with few overdubs at Feelgood's Garage studio near Redwood City, California, with two vintage gas pumps out front and vintage studio gear inside.
The critically acclaimed album features 10 new songs.
"Whatever your feeling about either of Young's stylistic personalities, the combination of both on one record is brilliant. What's most undeniably impressive about Chrome Dreams II is the proof it offers that Neil Young is one of the few rock musicians of his generation who not only survives, but thrives." - Robert Baird, Stereophile Magazine, January 2008, Vol. 31, No. 1
