Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts

Second Song Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts

"Second Song" is the second studio album Neil Young has recorded with the band The Chrome Hearts, and their third album in total following the live album "As Time Explodes".

"Second Song" is produced by Lou Adler and the Volume Dealers (Neil Young and Niko Bolas.) Anthony LoGerfo and Manny Adler are associate producers. The album features seven songs written by Young. Five are previously unreleased, and two are unreleased versions (“Casting Me Away From You” and “I Will Love You Forever”).

The semi-acoustic album is musically related to earlier albums in Young’s catalog such as “Comes A Time” and "Prairie Wind”. Every song on the new album feels like Young is confronting a new way of viewing the past, the present and the future. The lyrics of the title song lead the way: "Through smoking leaves of time the words just tumbled forward in this second song of mine..."

The feelings of Young and so many of his loyal listeners seem to swell together, like his music is the place they can continually find a source of wonder to gather strength. It allows those hearing the inner feelings of what gives Neil Young himself the belief needed to face our obstacles in their deepest divisions.
