Format:Audio CD
The group recorded three albums during their three years together, but one (Stampede) was never officially released. A fourth album (Last time around) was assembled from leftover tracks after the group disbanded. Their second original album (Again) is easily the best of the three officially released and several of its tracks are included here. Within a general acoustic rock style, there is plenty of diversity including folk, pop and country influences and this eclectic mix illustrates the clash of styles within the group.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young provided most of the group's song although they never wrote together. Of Stephen's songs, the highlights include For what it's worth (their only major hit - it made the American top ten), Bluebird (about Judy Collins), Rock and roll woman (about Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane) and Go and say goodbye. Of Neil's songs, my favorites are Mr Soul, Broken arrow and Expecting to fly. The other songs are all great including one by Richie Furay, Kind woman.
Neil Young and Stephen Stills went on to form Crosby Stills Nash and Young with ex-Byrd David Crosby and ex-Hollies Graham Nash. Richie Furay and Jim Messina went on to form Poco, an important country-rock group that survived many line-up changes of its own.
Ultimately, Buffalo Springfield are more famous as the launching pad for the careers of its members than for the music they made together, but their best music, included in this set, is certainly worth a listen.

This collection is from the short lived but massively influential Buffalo Springfield. Buffalo Springfield, if you have not heard of them, were the group that spawned Stephen Stills and the incredible Neil Young. Much like their later work this collection has fine melodies married with intelligent lyrics and is a essential buy for all those who have enjoyed their music through the years.

This is the ultimate chillout collection, pure and simple. Buffalo Springfield ooze rock and roll, with a soulful, moody edge. Tunes like 'For what it's worth' and 'Broken arrow' are classics that everyone will instantly recognise. Buffalo Springfield are and remain a very influential band, and everyone who has heard of Neil Young should check this early stuff out. A great compilation album, well worth the purchase.
