Second Song was recorded in analog at Malibu's Shangri-La Studios and produced by Lou Adler, with Neil Young and Niko Bolas, who are credited as the Volume Dealers.
According to a press release announcing the album, Second Song is mostly an acoustic record. Talkin to the Trees was an electric album, closer in spirit to Crazy Horse.
What Is on Neil Young's New Album?
Second Song features seven tracks written by Young. While five of the songs are new, two date back years, though these are new recordings with the Chrome Hearts.
"Casting Me Away From You" first appeared on 2009's The Archives Vol. 1 1963–1972 as an unreleased 1965 recording made with Comrie Smith.
Likewise, the new album's closing track, "I'll Love You Forever," also appeared on the 2009 box set in a previously unreleased recording made with his band the Squires in 1964.
