Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembling an absolute powerhouse supergroup including Chris Hillman, Stephen Stills delivered one of the most stunningly ambitious, highly eclectic double albums of the 1970s. Divided thematically into distinct suites, 'Manassas' is a wonderfully warm, beautifully pastoral country-rock masterwork, balancing fiercely melodic bluegrass and folk-rock with deeply passionate blues-rock jams.
