Free Music Notes for Manassas
Free Music Review: Stephen Stills at his very finest singing and playing, wonderful band.
Hit: 4 Stars
Stephen Stills was a true musical superstar in his unfortunately short prime, and while his greatness with the Buffalo Springfield and of course Crosby, Still and Nash have been widely heard and widely recognized, this 1972 effort was overlooked by a lot of people. Including this reviewer; I was a huge Stills fan at the time, but until last month had never heard this interesting and cohesive album fronted by Stills.
As other reviewers clearly indicate, there are few if any excellent and truly memorable song selections, in terms of song writing. "Johnny's Garden" is a very good and really catchy one. And most of the others are hummable, servicable "Americana" style tunes. But there are just not many individual standout songs. Still, you can hear that Manassas was clearly a great band;the Byrd's Chris Hillman is a fine second singer and guitarist, and the players are all talented pros, especially Al Perkins on pedal steel.
Most of all you get to hear a young Stephen Still sing his heart out and play all those amazing accoustic and electric guitar parts. Nobody has ever gotten all those brilliant sounds out of a Martin 6 string like he did, and here is some of the best acoustic playing he ever put on record. So if you love that wonderful, intelligently executed rock that is countryish but is not country, "roots" sound that Still was a master of, and you wonder why he rarely sounded as good as he did on "BlueBird" "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" "Questions" "Woodstock", Wooden Ships", then buy this because he sounds just as wonderful on Manassas. And the band really cooks, and the overall feel of the twenty or so songs is really lively and most cohesive.
Aching to give it five stars, but the tunes are just not that memorable. Even so, if this were vinyl, I would have worn it out in [past six weeks. It's a tight,talented band fronted by a true musical genius. I was most pleased to have finally heard, after all these years, a lesser-recognized gem.
