Manassass
This nugget of information was posted on 20/03/09 at 1:18 pm by Simon and is filed under Album, Reviews.
Manassas were formed in the early part of the seventies around primarily the musical tour de force that is Stephen 
Stills. Joined by musicians who had backed up first CSNY and latterly Stills two solo albums. Vitally though, the band was buoyed by the inclusion of ex Burrito Brother and Byrd, Chris Hillman, fresh from playing with Gram Parsons who had been hanging around the south of France, influencing the Stones Exile on Main Street whilst inventing country rock.
If you are interested at all by late 60’s, early 70’s American rock or the lineage that leads from Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and the Byrd’s through to modern country rock then this is an important purchase.
Highlights include opener Song of Love, Rock and Roll Crazies and the epic Treasure.

Amazing album. Up there with any of CSN (Y) output. Stills is a legend.

Stunning album – one of the finest double albums ever made… I couldn’t get my sister Ruth into it and she’s normally got pretty good taste. Anyone who knows her, please preach the value of the glory of Manassas…
