The music included on Chrome Dreams is the debut release of the legendary 1977 "Lost" album of 12 classic Neil Young songs. The 1974-1976 studio recordings include two previously unreleased versions.
The 12 songs on Chrome Dreams may have existed in other forms at other times, and that is part of the creative process. The summer 2023 release as it is coming to life now is exactly how Young perceives it and has a sense of monumentality about it that conveys a place in history. Songs like "Pocahontas," "Like a Hurricane," "Powerderfinger," "Homegrown" "Stringman," "Look Out for My Love" join eight other tracks to finally present Chrome Dreams as a guide into the world of a musician who leads the way into the future, never second-guessing what could have been.
Some historical lineage of the songs on Chrome Dreams include:
- An early solo version of "Powderfinger".
- "Pocahontas" is the same version that first appeared on Rust Never Sleeps but without the overdubs.
- "Sedan Delivery" and "Hold Back the Tears" are very different versions (the latter with additional lyrics) than previously released.
- "Stringman" was included on the Odeon/Budokan disc in Archives Vol. II; prior to that it had only appeared on Young's Unplugged album.
