Second Song brings Neil Young back into the studio with The Chrome Hearts for a seven-song album shaped around a semi-acoustic approach. Recorded at Shangri-La in Malibu, it places his writing within a band that includes Micah Nelson, Corey McCormick, Anthony LoGerfo and Spooner Oldham. The instrumental palette leaves room for acoustic guitar, keyboards and the changing weight of the ensemble around Young's voice. Produced by Lou Adler and the Volume Dealers, the record follows the group's studio debut and the live album As Time Explodes. Its programme moves from The Foggy Edge of Time through Earth Girl and the title song to I'll Love You Forever. The connection to reflective records such as Comes a Time and Prairie Wind offers a useful point of entry: this is a setting in which the contour of a melody and the way a song unfolds can carry as much weight as the band's louder gestures.

Young's work often changes character with the musicians around him. The Chrome Hearts give this chapter its own ensemble identity, while Second Song returns attention to the reflective, semi-acoustic side of his catalogue. The result places a long-established songwriting voice inside a continuing band relationship.

This Reprise edition contains the seven-song Second Song album on a 140-gram black vinyl LP. It is the second studio album credited to Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts. The physical programme is kept distinct from the group's separate live release, As Time Explodes.

Semi-acoustic folk rock with a spacious band setting, expressive keyboards and Young's unmistakable voice, balancing intimate passages with ensemble movement.

Recommended for: Neil Young listeners drawn to Comes a Time and Prairie Wind; Fans following The Chrome Hearts as a recording band; Collectors of contemporary Reprise vinyl releases; Listeners who favour reflective guitar-led songwriting.
