This album comes in October 2007. It's the reincarnation of the famous lost "Chrome Dreams" album.

Neil Young says it's "an album with a form based on some of my original recordings, with a large variety of songs, rather than one specific type of song.

Some early listeners have said that this album is positive and spiritual. I like to think it focuses on the human condition. Like many of my recordings, this one draws on earlier material here and there. I used to do that a lot back in the day. Some songs, like 'Ordinary People,' need to wait for the right time. I think now is the right time for that song and it lives well with the new songs I have written in the past few months. I had a blast making this music."
