Various bootleg versions of Neil Young’s Chrome Dreams, the album that has been lost since 1977, have been circling the internet for years.
Now, the album is set for an official release on August 11, via Reprise. As Pitchfork notes, the 12-track album, recorded between ’74 and ’77, includes several originals eventually rerecorded or overdubbed elsewhere: “Powderfinger” and “Pocahontas,” later featured on Rust Never Sleeps; “Sedan Delivery” and “Hold Back the Tears,” later remade with new lyrics; and “Stringman.”
This is the official song list:
- Pocahontas
- Will to Love
- Star of Bethlehem
- Like a Hurricane
- Too Far Gone
- Hold Back the Tears
- Homegrown
- Captain Kennedy
- Stringman
- Sedan Delivery
- Powderfinger
- Look Out for My Love
