Neil's eleventh studio album, and his fourth with Crazy Horse, released in November 1981 after sessions at Modern Recorders (a.k.a. Neil's ranch) in, Redwood City CA between 9 October 1980 and 21 July 1981
Hughesy's assessment: This is the point where it became obvious that having The Horse in tow was not necessarily a good thing. While things open promisingly (Opera Star and Surfer Joe...) a muddled middle leaves Southern Pacific standing out more than it should. Shots compensates for much of the middle, but Mileages Will Vary. Particularly on the subject of T-Bone (with or without mash).
