Manassas [Remastered]
In 1972 Stephen Stills during a hiatus in his Crosby Stills & Nash outfit formed a new seven-member band - christened Manassas
The band included ex-Byrd and Flying Burrito Brothers alumni Chris Hillman, pedal steel guitarist Al Perkins, as well as drummer Dallas Taylor. What was most impressive about this aggregate was the range of styles they were able to translate with ease and authenticity: rock, country, Latin, folk, and blues-influenced songs were all performed with inherent musicality, understanding, and flair.
Stills songwriting, guitar work and candent vocals were the dominant force throughout, but the ensemble's musical interplay was its essential strength. Stills was clearly on a roll with his composing, as displayed on the resulting double album, Manassas (1972), one of the strongest works in the Stills lexicon, which was another very successful and influential work.
