Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts Are In The Studio + Comment of the Moment

 Neil Young and The Chrome HeartsCharlotte, NC - August 8, 2025 photo by thrasher  (Click photo to enlarge)

Neil Young & Chrome Hearts have been in the studio, with "8 songs recorded", per a response to a letter on  Neil Young Archives.

Presumably recorded on the last full moon -- the Blood Moon -- no additional details have emerged, other than Neil is not happy. Writing on NYA | T-C, Neil Young says:

“Folks, I am so hurt for this country.

Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore. I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it. We have the worst president in the history of our country. Every day, a bad TV show produced by DJT [President Donald J. Trump] is what we get.

Now, thankfully, once again, I’m in the studio recording a new album with the chrome hearts.

I love the songs and the feelings of life and love. Music is. So far, we have eight new songs. They make me feel.”

Which brings us to a  Comment of the Moment from TeekiesPlace:

Following the North Star HEADER in the Letters section of the TC... 

Neil’s been talking about how music makes him 'feel' lately and how it’s got him back in the studio.

You have to wonder if that fan letter he shared with the track link at the bottom had something to do with the inspiration? It's an upbeat country-rocker that even name-checks his old friends Willie and Waylon from Farm Aid.

Makes you wonder.

Here is the link he left in: https://www.reverbnation.com/wendyellenwarren/song/29254035-cheap-champagne

Thanks for sharing TeekiesPlace!  It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

Actually, Neil has made it quite a habit of his to make us be "Wonderin' " most of the time.

Afterall, recall just last summer when Neil Young invited President Trump to attend his concerts.

And in other Neil Young news of late, the tracklist for the album "As Time Explodes" by Neil Young w/Chrome Hearts  has been revealed for this year's Record Store Day on April 18.

 LOVE EARTH 2026 UK/EU TOUR Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts 

In other Neil Young news, the ongoing fallout over the sudden cancellation of Neil Young's 2026 European Tour with The Chrome Hearts continues to reverberate across the Atlantic and beyond.

On Neil Young Archives Times-Contrarian, Neil responds to a letter from Michael about the tour cancellation:

“... everything is OK. 

All is good . Just needed a break. Listening to my body.”

In another letter from Justin, Neil says they will consider Bridgeport, CT for a concert. (thanks Road Dawg!)

Neil Young Archives Times-Contrarian

"No promises though!!!"

Good ol' Neil ... always hedging those statements.  Some things will never change.  

Our guidance is to go ahead and make your summer vacation plans.  Once those reservations are completed, a summer tour will then be announced, per "Neil's Law".  For somewhere on EARTH.  Maybe North America?  Or maybe Fall?  Or 2027? Maybe w/ Chrome Hearts?

Again, Neil: "Won't you please come to Cincinnati just to sing?" 

Let's make a real "hippie dream" happen.

Open Letter to Neil Young

Neil,

On behalf of Jim Tarbell and the Cincinnati community - Please Return to Music Hall.

Jim staged your February 25, 1970 concert to overwhelming enthusiasm.

The show ran well past the scheduled finish and the audience shouted for more - Jim Tarbell proclaimed from the stage…..

“As sure as I’m standing here, we will do it again”

Please consider returning to the magnificent Music Hall after these 56 years.

Do it for Jim Tarbell - he’s still standing

Impresario of Cincinnati

‘Mr Cincinnati’

He told me the other night during the Tarbellpalooza! book signing at Arnold’s - 2/21/26 - “people I speak with…..the concert still resonates to this day.”

You performing Music Hall - I will be remembering another music impresario who had an impact on his community Bill Graham.

Maybe stop in before Farm Aid.

Arnold's Bar & Grill: Music - Dancing - Festivities

Cincinnati, OH - Feb 21, 2026

In Tarbellpalooza! - pages 23 - 24 describes the impact of Jim’s staging the Neil Young and Crazy Horse concert - Jim’s wish Neil plays Music Hall again.

“Music will probably always remain an important part of Tarball’s life, he likes to play harmonica and spoons occasionally…..And he still dreams of staging a reprise of one of the greatest concerts he has ever presented - a young Neil Young enchanting the sold-out crowd at Music Hall in 1970.  The show featured both a solo acoustic set and an electric one with Crazy Horse, and Young had a charming, winning stage presence. The crowd at the end wouldn’t leave, nor would they stop shouting for more, more, more. Tarbell takes the stage to dissuade them from staying, to little effect.  And he finally says, “As sure as I’m standing here, we will do it again”…..Tarbell dreams of staging a big festival - “Tarbellpalooza”…..”

“The big windup of it would be Neil Young at Music Hall,” Jim Tarbell, 83 says a glorious smile on his face. “How wonderful would that be?”

Jim Tarbell & Chris Horn

A copy of Tarbellpalooza! was sent to Lookout Management in hopes it may be delivered. It contained a note by Greg Hand and Chris Horn.

Thanks so much for contributing here Chris!  What a great effort to make that "hippie dream" happen.  

We know that if Neil, Jim & you make it happen, we'll have some eyewitness reports from Cincinnati.  Best of luck and keep us posted on any developments.  Hopefully this will motivate Neil to get back on the road.

ps - Once again, it was great working together on "Winterland Stories" awhile back.  We promise to get those image links fixed ... someday...
