Neil Young’s “Albuquerque.” A Ditch Era classic, it was recorded with the Santa Monica Flyers in 1973 and released on 1975’s Tonight’s the Night.

Joining us to discuss the various landscapes of “Albuquerque” is Brigid Mae Power.

Tune in as we explore the contours of yet another number in the ever-rolling “All One Song” saga.
