Stephen Stills Music CD

This self-titled solo debut from CSNY's most musically adventurous member is a tour de force of bluesy rock, Latin grooves, and pure, unfiltered Stephen Stills energy. His songs are certainly in a league with those of the other members, and it's chiefly on his solo albums that Stills's own personality comes through.Still's Top 20 hit 'Love the One You're With' was the lead single from the album, released in November 1970. The album's other smash, 'Sit Yourself Down,' the seccond single, reached the Top 40, peaking at No. 37. Stills doesn't just play guitar here - he wrestles it into submission, layering his virtuosity over an album that sounds both meticulously crafted and effortlessly cool.Oh, and did we mention it features both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton? Because it does. That's like having both the Beatles and the Stones as your backup band.Recorded in the wake of CSNY's success, Stephen Stills proves that while Crosby and Nash leaned into their harmonies and Young wandered off into his own world, Stills was busy crafting something bolder, grittier, and sonically rich.Stills jumps from folk to blues to Latin to orchestral balladry, but it never feels disjointed. The production is warm and immersive, with Stills playing most of the instruments himself (because of course he does). If Deja Vu was a collaborative masterpiece, Stephen Stills is proof that he could do just fine on his own.Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records!Stephen Stills' 1970 debut solo albumIncludes hit singles 'Love The One You're With' and 'Sit Yourself Down'Hybrid Stereo SACDMastered by Bernie Grundman direct to DSD from the original analog master tapeTracklisting:1.
