Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Good CD, Neil... not your best, but worth $10.If you like Neil, and have $10 to spare, this might be worth your money. Check it out! Rating:  - NOT A BAD BAG OF LEFTOVERS... (4 and a HALF)I hadn't really got on board with Neil Young for a number of years before his Living With War album. I was pretty pumped up when that one came out, and I think it enabled me to get into the other one released within the same year Prairie Wind, which may have been the better (yet softer) of the two. The third release in line, was this one: Chrome Dreams II. Which takes it's name, somewhat mockingly from an unreleased 1977 album, Chrome Dreams. That story of that album being lost in a fire, is either true or untrue, I've heard bootlegs claiming to be the album, and it sounds like a bunch of demo versions of songs that were later finished on other albums. Perhaps Chrome Dreams II is the same thing. Just a bunch of outakes. The song ... Read More: Rating:  - Disappointing follow up to Prairie WindI did not like this album. Parts of it were fine, such as the song The Way, which I really like. However, the album is terribly uneven, as some songs carry on for nearly 20 minutes. Prairie Wind is a much better testament to the genius of Neil Young. Rating: - Just a passenger.And another great album from old shakey.neil in my book can do no wrong.ordinary people,box car,no hidden path and spirit road,to name some gems.similar to freedom,great cd from the best!
