The CD opens with a great track, Song Of Love, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Stephen Stills possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.

I give Manassas my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 5 - Both Of Us, track 11 - Don’t Look At My Shadow, and track 21 - Blues Man

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Song Of Love. What a nice track!
