Neil Young gave fans a holiday surprise this year by gifting them a “lost” 8 song album from 1987with songs that later appeared on his solo works, with Crazy Horse, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

“Happy Holidays everyone! I Think you will enjoy this very cool recording – lost for years, but not forgotten. Now a gift, NYA’s files reveal the whole history. American Dream feels more real than ever. How could somethin’ so good go bad so fast? Wow, that was a little sad. But things are still good down on the farm right? Not so fast.”
