Buffalo Springfield released their debut
album, “Buffalo Springfield” in 1966 and found instant critical acclaim and
popularity. Their music could best be described as folk-rock, but this talented
assemblage of musicians played a variety of styles including folk, country,
rock, and pop. “For what it’s Worth,” “Go and Say Goodbye,” Flying on The
Ground Is Wrong,” and “Nowadays Clancy Can Even Sing” are all classic tracks
from the debut album.
With their next effort, “Buffalo
Springfield Again” (1967), the band would produce their masterpiece. This album
was more consistent than the debut and featured more studio polish courtesy of
producer Jack Nitzche. “Expecting to Fly” and “Broken Arrow ,” two songs by Neil Young, are
the albums’ highlights.
Despite their brief run of just two years,
Buffalo Springfield was a hugely influential band that spawned the solo careers
of Young and Stills and future country-rock bands Poco, Manassas
and Crosby , Stills, Nash, and Young.
