My favorite album of all time. Twenty-one tracks and each and every one an essential componant in the mix. So many diverse styles… rock of course, country, folk, bluegrass, Latin, blues, ballads, and even a pioneering, and entirely apropos use of the moog synthesizer on ‘Move Around’. I couldn’t live without ‘Bound To Fall’, ‘So Begins the Task’, and ‘It Doesn’t Matter’. I must have played this album 1000 times since I bought it in ’72 and I’ll play it another thousand if the Lord lets me. Thanks, Stephen et.al. for such a gift!

I remember getting the manassas album when it came out, I thought it was excellent then just look at the lineup with Byron Berline to boot one of the greatest fiddlers of bluegrass and an ex bluegrass boy, I have to say I agree with you about the Dillard and Clark expedition as well which has some of the same musicians glad to hear someone else is listening to this stuff TBone

I SAW Manassas perform this album at the Hardrock in Manchester UK in the early 1970′s. ‘Fuzzy’ Samuels is still the best rock bass guitarist I’ve heard. The range, the breadth was and is just fantastic. An amazing gig and album.

i bought this album along with the allman brother’s eat a peach and john lee hooker’s endless boogie in a flu induced delirium when i was 17 (1972).

i rode my bike to the 7-11 and bought some bc powders.
then to the music store.
i spent the next two days sleeping, sweating, fevers, and chilling all while rising to raise the 33′s on the turntable spindle and starting them again and again.

this is music from an era and genre that is culminated in this album.
the best of the best.
i think stills saw it as passing and wanted to record it’s talent.

stills paid millions of his own money on this project.

it is succint and intense and fun.

i can only say craig fuller took it any farther.

Hey… I’m late to the party, but I gotta sound off, ’cause you’re so dead-on right about this album. This is one righteous slab. This is the band that Bill Wyman would’ve left the ‘Stones to play with. Stills at his finest, teamed up with one badass band. Great assessment of a great album. peace.
