Nearly half a century after he began recording it, Neil Young has finally released his “long-lost” album, Chrome Dreams. Stream the record below.
Chrome Dreams’ journey began back in 1974, when Young cut a version of “Star of Bethlehem” that would eventually end up on his 1977 album American Stars ‘n Bars. From there, Young found himself in an era of fluidity, recording different songs with a variety of collaborators. By 1977, he had racked up a number of demos, some of which were compiled as an acetate to be considered for an album, dubbed Chrome Dreams.
Ultimately, Young decided not to release Chrome Dreams. Instead, he picked it apart, putting some songs on American Stars ‘n Bars, others on 1979’s Rust Never Sleeps, and some into the vault, never to be heard… err, until bootleggers got a hold of the acetate in the ‘90s, that is. Once copies started going around, the...

Sixteen years ago, in 2007, Neil Young puzzled quite a few people when he released a new album called Chrome Dreams II. Only his most devoted followers knew that the title was a reference to Chrome Dreams, an entirely different album he had put together in 1977 before shelving it in favor of American Stars ‘n Bars. The original Chrome Dreams leaked out years later as a bootleg drawn from the ’77 acetate, and many fans felt he had made the wrong choice. “In many ways,” Young biographer Jimmy McDonough wrote in his 2002 Young biography,...

Neil Young’s Chrome Dreams will soon become a reality. The musician’s long-lost album, originally intended for release in 1977, will finally see the light of day on August 11th, 2023 via Reprise.
Chrome Dreams consists of studio recordings from 1974-1976, including two previously unreleased versions and four tracks never-before-released on vinyl. Other recordings of some of these songs are surely familiar to seasoned Young fans, but this 12-track collection is billed as “exactly how Young perceived it and has a sense of monumentality about it that conveys a place in history.”
The vinyl release of Chrome Dreams is a three-sided LP with an etching on side four; pre-orders are ongoing, and you can check out the full tracklist and original recording dates of each song below.
This weekend, Young is set to kick off his first tour in four years. Tickets to select dates are available here.
