Manassas
Manassas may not be a household name, but the name of it leader definitely ranks among the fattest cats in American rock. When Stephen Stills met Chris Hillman (bass and mandolin player for The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers), he decided to put together a band of seven highly gifted country / folk /rock musicians.Their 1972 eponymous debut is a double album, and arguably among Stills’ finest recorded moments ever.
