Neil Young tours on Chrome Dreams II

Barbers, break out your straight razors - Neil Young and his crazy (horse) chops are back on the road promoting the latest from the outspoken rocker, Chrome Dreams II, a name that stems from his unreleased 1977 album, Chrome Dreams.

The harmonica blowin', corporate bashin', death defyin' folkie cum rockstar has recruited his wife of almost 30 years, Pegi Young, to open for him nightly, as she promotes her eponymous solo album foray into the musical morass.

This is Young's first album to come since 2006's Living with War. Still on the horizon for February is the long awaited, oft-rescheduled release of Archives, a major collector's set of Young's entire musical career so large and unruly, it is to come to fruition one volume at a time (early 08's release hopefully being the first).
