Neil Young Releases Second Song, the 50th Album in His Illustrious Career

Neil Young has today released Second Song, the 50th album (!) in his illustrious career and the second with his band The Chrome Hearts.

The album boasts seven songs written by Young, five of which are previously unreleased, and two are unreleased versions (“Casting Me Away From You” and “I’ll Love You Forever”) dating all the way back to the 1960s. Young tracked the album in analog at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, with Lou Adler and The Volume Dealers (Neil Young and Niko Bolas). The Chrome Hearts is composed of drummer Anthony LeGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, guitarist Micah Nelson, and Spooner Oldham on keyboards.

Next week, Young will link up with Willie Nelson for a pair of shows in Bridgeport and Philadelphia ahead of this year’s installment of Farm Aid in Virginia Beach. Look for tickets here.
