'Will to Love,' 'Star of Bethlehem' (with Emmylou Harris), and 'Like a Hurricane' all appeared on American Stars 'n Bars in their Chrome Dreams versions. That LP was assembled from songs recorded during a 29-month period, many of which had been earmarked for Chrome Dreams. Ultimately, Young opted to shelve Chrome Dreams, and his lone album release for 1977 was June's American Stars 'n Bars. The dozen songs comprising Chrome Dreams were recorded between 19 and assembled as an acetate to consider for potential release in 1977. Featuring cover artwork by Ronnie Wood dating back to 1976, Chrome Dreams will arrive in CD, LP, and digital formats on August 11.
Almost sixteen years after the release of Chrome Dreams II, Neil Young is finally unveiling the original, 'lost' 1977 album.
