Neil Young will revisit a series of lost recordings on his next studio album Chrome Dreams II. In 1977, Young put the finishing touches on an album that was set to be released as Chrome Dreams. The disc even had cover art, which was created by Young’s longtime producer David Briggs. The project was then put on hold and, less than a year later, a fire at Young’s Malibu home destroyed all documentation that Chrome Dreams existed.  

For many years, there was some debate as to whether Chrome Dreams was actually the title Young gave the unreleased project, though several songs from the album have since surfaced. Marquee tracks like "Powderfinger" and "Sedan Delivery" were reworked for later projects, while "Too Far Gone" was shelved until 1989's Freedom. Young also played "Stringman," a track that was likely featured on Chrome Dreams, during his 1992 appearance on MTV Unplugged. For Chrome Dreams II, Young revisited three songs from his mid-1970s recording sessions and wrote 7 new numbers. In total, the disc runs over 60 minutes and includes two extended jams which clock in at 18:30 and 13:00. In addition to Young, Chrome Dreams features Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina and pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith.  Young released his latest album, Living with War, just last year.
