Today Pitchfork reviewed Neil's just-released Chrome Dreams album (“Best New Reissue”) pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/neil-young-chrome-dreams/
It includes several of the songs that wound up on American Stars 'n Bars, including Linda's most prominent contribution, "Hold Back the Tears." Linda is not on the Chrome Dreams version. According to Steve Hoffman's Forum: "The project was retitled [Chrome Dreams to American Stars 'n Bars] before the late March Malibu tabletop session with Nicolette & Linda Ronstadt and the subsequent April 77 session at the Ranch when the new side one American Stars 'n Bars recordings were made."
