STEPHEN STILLS – Manassas: The most epic break-up album of all time?!

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host Tim, Shaun and Peter

This week, Tim discussed a personal favourite: the debut double album by Manassas, called Manassas (featuring Stephen Stills). Topics covered include: the history of break-up albums, the Stills-Hillman nexus, the medleyish nature of the record, the Caribbean influence on the music, the music's economic nature, and the question of albums as therapy. Also, what on earth are the five stages of grief? Why was Stephen Stills so unlucky in love? Why didn’t George Harrison and Eric Clapton have an affair? Should the album have been called Suite: Rita Brown Eyes? How good is Stephen Stills at Spanish? And we may finally reveal who Carly Simon’s ‘You’re So Vain’ was written about. Or not.
