Cruising with Chrome Dreams

I’m a mark for a good official “bootleg,” previously unreleased collection, or remix. And forget about a cover tribute album. And while I don’t buy as many CDs as I used to, I still like to buy physical copies of certain artists’ releases, including Dylan, Petty, and Neil Young, along with independent and small-label bands. As the album name implies, the tunes on Chrome Dreams are great summertime, top-down listens.

  1. "Pocahontas" (3:23)

  2. "Will to Love" (7:11)
