Looking for the best American album of 1967 other than Aretha Franklin's "I Never Love A Man"? It's not "Surrealistic Pillow", it's not "The Doors", or even the Byrds ultra-great "Younger Than Yesterday". It's even better overall that the Velvet Underground & Nico's fine debut, of which I am very much a fan or Simon & Garfunkel's ethereal "Bookends". Buffalo Springfield Again, which its non-celebratory title, was and still is an event worthy of a record of the year celebration, US side (okay Sergeant Pepper is the most essential, always, of course).
Hear Steve Still's finest efforts ever (as in EVER) with "Bluebird" and "Rock and Roll Woman", an exquisitely beautiful Richie Furay track in "Sad Memory", and Neil Young's blast-off to greatness with the offerings of "Mr. Soul", "Expecting to Fly", and "Broken Arrow", harbingers of the greatness to come. Even better than the debut. Give it a shot, and I promise at least 997 of you out of 1000 will be converted, and converted strongly. If you are folk-rock fans that is. What "Blonde on Blonde" was to 1966, and "The Band" was to 1968, "Again" in its time, 1967 North American album of the year. A real likeable work.

This for me is Buffalo Springfield's best album,after this was complete Neil wandered off to start his solo career.What a band they would have been if they had stayed together!
The album opens with the classic Young song "Mr Soul",in fact all the songs by Young on this album are classics "Expecting to fly" and "Broken arrow".Mr Stills throws in some heavy material,"Bluebird " and the mighty "Rock'n'Roll woman" Dewey Martin exercises his tonsils and thinks he's James Brown on good time boy" and Richie Furay shows what a great Lead and Harmony vocalist he is
The band weren't together all that long,but the made some powerful music ! Perhaps one day an in concert tape will be found to show how good they were live !!

This is a real music lover's album. An Original, eclectic mix of bluesy, rocksy, folksy, jazzy tunes. At the time of performing some of the tracks Buffalo Springfield were playing at the Whisky in LA's Sunset Strip during its golden age when Jefferson Airplane and The Doors were sharing top billing (for a time Jim Morrison was obsessed with Mr Soul Man, written in response to police brutality in LA, singing it everywhere he went). In fact the band's obvious eclecticism on this album is probably more easily understood in comparison to these bands rather than the folk-rock tradition of which this album forms an inevitable part.Made at a time when the first wave of sixties bands had enjoyed their first flush and people were looking for something different this is a chance to hear the origins of modern music in its creation.

Wishywashy twaddle from soap dodgers
Considering the individual talents in this band, this collection of half-finished hokum is a bitter disappointment, along with the rest of their malodorous oeuvre.

Wonderful!
I had this as a vinyl some years ago and played and played it. My love for it hasn't changed and it was just as I recalled - no stupid remixing. Great!

This their second album is excellent. Neil Young's "Broken Arrow" stands out as well as Stills's "Rock 'n Roll Woman". Read more
