Chromatics – Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) (Neil Young)

Chromatics are about to bum you out with their take on the Uncle Neil classic “Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)”. A consensus b3 staff Top 10 Neil song, the bar here for a b3sci co-sign is a lofty one. How do the PDX Chromatics crew measure up then? The cover is cinematic, it’s grand-gesturing but it’s also, at times, sort of tortured and unnecessarily languid; however we think it ticks enough “sweet Neil cover” boxes for us to give it a small “yes”.
