Post ‘Greendale’, ‘Prairie Wind’ and ‘Living with War’ albums, and a summer 2006 tour by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Neil Young comes ‘Chrome Dreams II’. For this album, Young was joined by ‘Crazy Horse’ drummer Ralph Molina, pedal steel guitarist and dobro player Ben Keith and bassist Rick Rosas.

Tracks include ‘Beautiful Bluebird’, ‘Boxcar’, ‘Ordinary People’, ‘Shining Light’, ‘The Believer’, ‘Spirit Road’, ‘Dirty Old Man’, ‘Ever After’, ‘No Hidden Path’ and ‘The Way’. ‘The Believer’ and ‘Shining Light’ have a spiritual mood to them.
