Stephen Stills - Manassas - Rock Music CD Review

Manassas is the latest release from Rock Star Stephen Art Of Acoustic Blues Guitar Handful Of Riffs Part 1 Clip and I can only think of one word to describe this CD AWESOME!

The CD opens with a great track, Song Of How To Get Started Playing Blues Guitar Chords that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Stephen Stills possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent Bottleneck Blues Guitar The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.

I give Manassas my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 5 - Both Of Us, track 11 - Don't Look At My Shadow, and track 21 - Blues Man

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Song Of Love. What a nice track!
