Stephen Stills is an unpretentious album. The music is a mix of rock and folk with some gospel thrown in. Stephen Stills does most of the guitar work on this album, but he gets help from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton on two songs.
This is an album that really takes some time to enjoy. Love the One You're With is a misleading opening song; it charts a course that the second song, Do for the Others, immediately abandons. Then the remainder of songs follow Do for Others.
I'm not sure this is an album that needs to be on the 1001 Albums list. It's an improved-upon folk rock album, but nothing more. However, this is an outstanding album. So, I do think it's worth listening to and for those who like folk rock, this is a keeper.
Every song on this album is great, although I wasn't as impressed with To a Flame. The stand outs are Love the One You're With, Do for the Others, Church (Part of Someone), Black Queen, Cherokee and We Are Not Helpless.
★★★★★★★★★☆
