Manassas

It’s a testament to his prodigious talent that Manassas has been around since 1971. Stephen Stills takes you back to a bygone era of music, where everything was languid and emotive. Backed by an immense array of talent - Chris Hillman, a former member of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers, Pieces features alternate versions of two songs from Down The Road: ‘Do You Remember The Americans‘ and ‘Lies‘ (featuring guitarist Joe Walsh). The collection also includes the legendary group’s unreleased performances of ‘Sugar Babe‘ and ‘Word Game,’ a pair of songs Stills recorded in 1971 for his second solo album. The remaining tracks include ‘Like A Fox,‘ a song recorded with blues guitarist Bonnie Raitt on background vocals and the Latin-tinged ‘Tan Sola Y Triste’. If you loved the Flying Burrito Brothers then you’ll definitely enjoy Pieces which is available 09/22/09.
