“Chrome Dreams,” Neil Young (Reprise Records)Neil Young is captured in his mid-1970s prime with “Chrome Dreams,” yet another “lost” — or “unreleased” — album officially seeing the light of day as Young originally envisioned nearly half a century ago.Young, 77, has been delving into his vast archive in recent years to release live albums and studio recordings that were previously slated for release, but for one reason or another never got out.The long-bootlegged collection of 12 songs, all recorded between 1974 and 1976 and first compiled for a release in 1977, gained legendary status as it sat in the vault. Young even managed to release a titular sequel, “Chrome Dreams II” in 2007, before he got around to putting out the original.It’s impossible 46 years later to know how “Chrome Dreams” would have altered the Neil Young career narrative had it been released when planned. Certainly, “Chrome Dreams” is a stunning collection, highlighted by beloved Young songs “Powderfinge...

How a big week helps Cubs' growing confidence

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:17:01 GMT

CHICAGO — If this week was meant to be a test for the Cubs, they've certainly passed it, and now they're right in the thick of a playoff chase in 2023. A pair of winning series against two of the better teams in the National League can do that, with the last three coming against the best in baseball. After taking two of three from the Reds at Wrigley Field earlier last week, the Cubs did the same against the Braves, including a 6-4 win on Sunday that ups their record to 58-54 on the year.That puts David Ross' team just a game-and-a-half behind the Brewers for first in the NL Central, the closest they've been since April 21 after a 13-0 win over the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. It puts the team in a position to win their first division championship since 2020, which is also the last time they qualified for the postseason. Not bad for a team that just two weeks ago was closer to selling than buying at the MLB trade deadline, when it appeared their playoff chances were remote. But trades...
