Steven Stills Manassas Down the road - Mrrusty1 - 16-03-2012

Down the road by Steven Stills Manassas . a really great album filled with great songs and musicianship. seems to have been rather overlooked . a lot of people concentrating on the great CSN releases .Down the road is reall worth listening a really good rocking album.[ATTACH=CONFIG]1391[/ATTACH]

Stills solo albums were all good and overlooked

never been a big fan of Stills as a solo artist but he is a great guitarist, i still think "for what its worth" from the Buffalo Springfield days is his best song...too much friction between him and Neil Young for my liking, much like that between Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour...and fans tend to go the way of one of those artists also, me.... Roger and Neil respectively so Stills and Gilmour ralrey get a look-in unfortunately!

alright SteveO, you have convinced me...next trip to Corey sees me walk out with a Stills album, hopefully the one you mentioned above

Steven Stills Manassas Down the road - SteveO - 19-03-2012

Good man, CH ! ..I think you'll like it !

Steven Stills Manassas Down the road - CRAZY-HORSE - 19-03-2012

ok SteveO...

popped in to see Corey today...and i bought the one you mentioned above, lucky though as it ws the only Stills album in the store...been a bit of a ruch on his records lately...im guessing its because CSN are performing at the West Coast Blues & Roots Festival in a couple of weekends time...Corey also said sales of CCR have gone up slightly over the last week also as Fogerty is the headline act at the festival...for which Dani and I have tickets as you know from previous posts over the last few weeks.
personally, i dont care if i see CSN or not as i find their music boring without Neil Young in the loop, even though he tended to record his songs seperate from CSN he added something to the group, not sure what it was but its there in his prescence IMO.

dont like David Crosby of Greame Nash's solo material either, but together with CSNY their harmonies are beautiful and ethereal at times.

damn Neil Young fanatics
