On September 18 Neil Young will release a new album with the Chrome Hearts. Second Song is the sophomore release from the group, which also includes Micah Nelson (guitar), Spooner Oldham (keys), drummer Anthony LoGergo (drums), and bassist Cory McCormick (bass).
Earlier this month Young shared the 11-minute title track. He has now posted another tune from Second Song. “Casting Me Away From You” is a three-minute tune that appears on the Neil Young Archives. Young accompanied it with a backstory, which explains that it “is one of my early songs. I think I wrote it in 64 or 65. When we recorded ‘Second Song’ early this year I ran out of tunes fast. I only had the 5 new ones, long ones. and I needed more, so I started to feel it out and came up with Casting Me Away—from the deep past. There is an old recording with my school-mate Comrie Smith, somewhere in the Archives from that time. I recorded it for the ‘Second Song’ album with the Chrome Hearts the next day.”
Young and the Chrome Hearts will perform three dates in late September, in Bridgeport CT (9/22), Philadelphia, PA (9/24) and then Virginia Beach, VA at Farm Aid (9/26).
