NEIL YOUNG And THE CHROME HEARTS Ready To Roll Again

Daily electricity to load your batteries

3 May 2025

79-year-old NEIL YOUNG is one of those artists (such as Bob Dylan, Springsteen,
The Stones, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello
, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and many more)
who were born with music in their DNA. They eat, sleep, and breathe music and
have no intention whatsoever to retire.

He recorded an album with his new band The Chrome Hearts ,
baptized Talkin’ To The Trees, and coming our way on June 12th.

Press info: “Talkin To The Trees is a personal and powerful album featuring ten new compositions by Young. “Big Change”, the first song from the album, was released in January 2025, with a message that left no doubt where Neil Young stands in these challenging times.

The Chrome Hearts are Spooner Oldham (Organ); Micah Nelson (Guitar and Vocal); Corey McCormick (Bass and Vocal); Anthony LoGerfo (Drums); with Neil Young (Guitar, Harp, Piano, Vibes). The album is co-produced by Lou Adler and Young, and recorded at Shangri La Studios in Malibu.”

Before any details of the LP were known, we got the first single Big Chance. And
here’s preview number two, named LETS ROLL AGAIN. A vintage Young rocker.

New striking strokes

79-year-old NEIL YOUNG is one of those artists (such as Bob Dylan, Springsteen, the Stones, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and many more) who were born with music in their DNA. They eat, sleep and breath music and have no intention whatsoever to retire.

Young is again omnipresent, with several releases of new old/live albums, a new LP
and an upcoming world tourThe Chrome Hearts , a concert movie, titled Coastal

Last Saturday he played at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
Here he premiered a new robust rocker LET’S ROLL AGAIN,
and rollin’ it does. I suppose it will be on the upcoming LP with
his new band.

Former colleague and friend Stephen Stills joined Young on stage for
a rendition of Buffalo Spingfield‘s big 1966 hit For What It’s Worth,
written by Stills (almost 800 million streams on Spotify).

NEIL YOUNG – New/Old LP ‘OCEANSIDE COUNTRISDE’ For Sale Now

16 February 2025

As we know for some years Young‘s musical archives are
inexhaustible. One wonders when he wrote/recorded all
his stuff.

That said another previously unreleased
LP, named OCEANSIDE COUNTRYSIDE is
now available.

Young: “This analog original album was recorded in 1977 and unreleased. These songs are the original mixes done at the time of the recordings in the order I planned for the album. I sang the vocals and played the instruments on Oceanside in Florida at Triad studios and Malibu at Indigo studio.

I sang the vocals and recorded with my great band of friends, Ben Keith, Joe Osborn, Karl T. Himmel, and Rufus Thibodeaux at Crazy Mama’s in Nashville on Countryside. I hope you enjoy this treasure of an Analog Original recording, recorded by Tim Mulligan, as much as I do. Listening to it now, I think I should have put it out back then.”

It’s not on any streaming platform.
You can buy the vinyl version HERE.

BIG BLASTS FROM THE PAST – 10 Classic Albums Turning 50 In 2025

23 December 2024

Artist: BOB DYLAN
Album: Blood On The Tracks

His fifteenth and one of his most
memorable LPs.

All Music: “This is hardly nostalgia, this is the sound of an artist returning to his strengths, what feels most familiar, as he accepts a traumatic situation, namely the breakdown of his marriage. This is an album alternately bitter, sorrowful, regretful, and peaceful, easily the closest he ever came to wearing his emotions on his sleeve.”

Band: FLEETWOOD MAC
Album: Fleetwood Mac
Their 10th.

Pitchfork said: “Though far from their debut, the band’s 1975 self-titled album felt like a debut: a pop-rock statement and the unexpected intersection of two parallel spheres that offered something genuinely new.”

Artist: NEIL YOUNG
Album: Tonight’s The Night
His sixth LP.

The record was dedicated to Danny Whitten, guitarist of Crazy Horse,
who wrote the song ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’ made famous by Rod
Stewart
.

Rolling Stone wrote: “Tonight’s the Night finds Neil Young on his knees at the top of the heap, struggling to get back to his feet… Crying over the death of his real and imagined friends, Neil Young seems at once heroic and mock heroic, brave and absurd. Like the best of both, he leaves us as he found us, ravaged but rocking.”

Artist: PATTI SMITH
Album: Horses
Her stunning debut.

Rolling Stone wrote: “Patti Smith’s debut album was a declaration of committed mutiny,
a statement of faith in the transfigurative powers of rock & roll. Horses made her the queen
of punk before it even really existed, but Smith cared more for the poetry in rock.”

Band: PINK FLOYD
Album: Wish You Were Here
9th longplayer, dedicated to the late
flamboyant co-founder Syd Barrett.

The Village Voice wrote: “The music is not only simple and attractive, with the synthesizer used mostly for texture and the guitar breaks for comment, but it actually achieves some of
he symphonic dignity (and cross-referencing) that The Dark Side of the Moon simulated so ponderously.”

Artist: DAVID BOWIE
Album: Young Americans
9th longplayer.

Rolling Stone: “The music works best when Bowie combines his renewed interest in soul
with his knowledge of English pop, rather than opting entirely for one or the other.”
