“a way of walking through the smokey leaves of time“
„Musically, the new album occupies the same acoustic landscape as Silver & Gold, Harvest Moon and Prairie Wind – ‘reflective Neil’, basically. Crucially, the Chrome Hearts understand when not to intrude, surrounding Young’s songs with sympathetic accompaniment that favours atmosphere over embellishment. Alongside co-producer Lou Adler, Young opts for warmth and space over the compressed sheen favoured by many of his contemporaries, allowing these songs room to breathe and their emotional nuances to emerge.“
„There is a pleasing symmetry in Young, on his 50th studio album, revisiting on two cases material written at the very start of his career. The frailty of his voice, worn and weathered by age, gives these songs an additional poignancy, a reminder that these reflections come from an artist advancing into his ninth decade. Far from sounding diminished, however, Young has delivered one of his most affecting 21stcentury albums, equally sad and beautiful at the same time. For all the album’s reflections on ageing and loss, Second Song is sustained by what remains.“ (Michael Bonner, Uncut, album of the month of november)
Ich freue mich auf das neue Album, das am 17. September erscheint. (m.e.)

Moin!
Einen habe ich nich. Von all den untragischen Dingen des Lebens eines der traurigsten: dass ich am 26. Oktober nicht in Köln sein kann, im Gebäude 9, uk The Teenage Fanclub zu erleben, mit Euros Childs, der seit jahren fest zur Band zählt. Wenn ein Leser dort auftaucht, freue ich mich über einen Bericht.
Ein Fall für Ella!
Hier ein Video zum neuen Album, das den schönen Titel trägt DO NOT DARE TO DREAM

If it has to be old-fashioned, then let it be timeless.
