Neil Young is back with Peace Trail, a 10-track album that addresses our current political environment, with songs devoted to issues like the Flint water crisis, and the circulation of fake news on the Internet. This mainly stripped down album opens with the title track, “Peace Trail,” about the systematic mistreatment of Native Americans, and closes with “My New Robot,” an autotuned song about finding love, comfort and companionship in Amazon’s Alexa, voice-activated speaker. Featured Music Friday is brought to you by Blackfire Research.
