Comment of the Moment: New CD Chrome Dreams II and Tour

The Comment of the Moment is on the new CD Chrome Dreams II. RDR writes:

Ok, so Ordinary People with a horn section has been confirmed. This means it is quite likely the second old track clocking in at 18:30 is Sixty To Zero. The author of the post was quoted as saying a "couple" songs had horns. And even one with a children's choir. I think what we're about to get (based on the title) is a Neil mix. We'll probably have a couple hard rockers, some acoustic ballads, a few offbeat tracks, and apparently a couple bluenote revivals. Much as Chrome Dreams intended to be a rock n' roll hodgepodge of themes, I believe Chrome Dreams II will come out on a similar basis. Also, the note about the "This Note's For You" MTV issue on NYTimes would indicate to me Neil's not done throwing curves to big business and the media yet; Ordinary People and Sixty To Zero both resonate this kind of social overtone.

Our 3rd old track is the real mystery; it really could be anything. "Kansas" would be my first choice, and next likely would be maybe "Boxcar". "Standing in the Light of Love" and "Gateway of Love" are equally likely if the Horse is making an appearance; "Walking to New Orleans" is definitely possible as well. Sheer speculation, though.

The poster also said something about "different" guitar tones that would likely receive much attention; perhaps Neil has really taken a new creative turn, if so, I'm quite eager to hear it. While we do have a couple more months to wait and thus we will be privy to more information, likely a full track list, and eventually samples on Neil's website, at this point we have precious little knowledge.

I hope more comes to light on Neil's latest work.
