Beschreibung: | Chrome Dreams is another of Neil Young's legendary "lost" albums; finished albums that for various reasons Neil decided not to release at the time. The recent releases of Homegrown and Toast also fall into this category. Chrome Dreams features 12 songs recorded between 1974 and 1977. If the album was released in 1977 as originally planned, it would certainly be considered as one of the masterpieces in Neil's long career. The album contains some of Neil's most iconic songs: "Pocahontas", "Like A Hurricane", "Powderfinger", Homegrown", "Too Far Gone" and "Star of Bethlehem". Most of the tracks were subsequently released on later Neil Young albums (e.g.: American Stars 'N' Bars, Hawks & Doves, Hitchiker, Archives Vol II), although Chrome Dreams includes unreleased versions of two much loved songs: "Sedan Delivery" and "Hold Back The Tears"., Chrome Dreams is another of Neil Young's legendary «lost» albums; finished albums that for various reasons Neil decided not to release at the time.

Ursprünglich Mitte der 1970er Jahre aufgenommen und erst Jahrzehnte später offiziell veröffentlicht zeigt diese Sammlung einige von Youngs eindrucksvollsten Songwriting-Momenten und authentischen Darbietungen. Die Songs reichen stilistisch von Folk-Rock bis hin zu elektrisierendem Rock und unterstreichen seine Vielseitigkeit sowie emotionale Tiefe. Diese Veröffentlichung bietet Fans sowohl Klassiker als auch bisher unveröffentlichte Schätze ? ein Muss für Sammler wie Neueinsteiger gleichermaßen.
Neil Young gilt als legendärer kanadischer Singer-Songwriter mit markanter Stimme und poetischen Texten sowie meisterhaftem Gitarrenspiel. In seiner über fünf Jahrzehnte währenden Karriere wurde er zweimal in die Rock & Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen ? einmal solo und einmal mit Buffalo Springfield. Alben wie ?Harvest?, ?After the Gold Rush? oder ?Rust Never Sleeps? sind Meilensteine der Rockgeschichte.
Reprise Records ist ein ikonisches Label das 1960 von Frank Sinatra gegründet wurde um Künstlern mehr kreative Freiheit zu ermöglichen. Im Laufe der Jahre beherbergte es zahlreiche bedeutende Musiker verschiedenster Genres darunter Eric Clapton Green Day Fleetwood Mac oder eben Neil Young selbst ? bekannt für höchste Produktionsqualität und Förderung künstlerischer Ausdruckskraft seiner Talente. |
