Jeff’s Playlist: ‘Trans’ (Neil Young)

Neil Young — Trans

Another strange album by Neil in my per­son­al library. This one fol­lows last week’s Reactor very nice­ly.

As always, text/album info is from Wikipedia, and music is from YouTube. And as always, give it a lis­ten, you might find it enjoyable.

All tracks are writ­ten by Neil Young.
