Buffalo Springfield - self-titled (Atco)

"Originally saw the blessed light of day in 1967, some oldie fans may not realize that Buffalo Springfield actual had several full length albums out. Can't believe these guys had JUST one hit. Anyway,this twelve track self-titled CD reissue has several should - have / could - have - been hits as far as I'm concerned. Cuts like "Go And Say Goodbye", the Beatles - like "Sit Down I Think I Love You", "Everybody's Wrong", "Burned", the jamming bluesy "Leave" and "Pay The Price" (with it's catchy riffs) along with their sole hit "For What It's Worth" all make this disc a keeper. It's obvious this band was a heavy influence on later artists such as the Eagles, Gram Parsons, BoDeans and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Recommended."

Fine debut.

"stephen stills "for what it's worth" is, of course, a classic song. "burned," neil young's strongest effort for this album, is another classic song. the rest of it is all very good. i would say that it does sound a bit dated, however;, and that this one is mostly for fanatics of 60's music. your average "artic monkeys" fan is not going to find this a good match for their musical sensiblities. better was on the way from buffalo springfield. their next album, "buffalo springfield again" is an all out rock masterpiece that everybody should own, whatever your age or inclinations."
