 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Excellent mix of slow classic Young tunes with Crazy Horse type rockers.
Nothing more to say.

Good CD, Neil... not your best, but worth $10.

Review Comments: If you like Neil, and have $10 to spare, this might be worth your money. Check it out!

Review Comments:
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 ORDINARY PEOPLE is very obviously a song recorded in the eighties. The song is very cool though, at a lengthy 18 minutes, it became one of my favorite Neil Young jammers in a long time! Neils still got IT! At least we know he had it in the obscure eighties years, he just wasn't releasing it. Alot of the other tracks sound like they could have been on either Prairie Wind or Living with War. Interesting. Still though, several of the songs are good. BEAUTIFUL BLUEBIRD is a nice Prairie windish acoustic bit, while SPIRIT ROAD is another stab at the White House (I think? Perhaps; at least written on the same bottle of booze anyway...) Theres a cool R&B type tune called I'M A BELIEVER, and even another extended jammer (only 14 minutes this time though) called NO HIDDEN PATH. Theres a couple songs where the boys goof off BOXCAR and DIRTY OLD MAN (Neil likes to slap his knee here and there, nothing wrong with that) Not all of it is top shelf Neil Young, but still a pretty decent collection... I enjoyed it.

Disappointing follow up to Prairie Wind

 Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I 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.

Just a passenger.

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
