Another year, another fine show from Neil Young’s archives. This one is compiled from two solo acoustic shows on consecutive nights in Ann Arbor, before his solo debut had been released.
Richie Furay's musical talents have left us an amazing legacy of quintessential country-rock music. Furay was founder of 60's band Buffalo Springfield, spawning musical greats Poco and Crosby Stills and Nash. Hearing a new life-altering tune, Furay has been pastor of a Christian church outside of Denver since the '80's, but still tours as a solo performer. It's no wonder he answered a call from Baristaville...

Your birthday today: Develop and use your creative ability and originality. You are amusing and entertaining, popular among your friends and associates and have definite likes and dislikes. Well, now that we've established via the book that you can't be like anybody else (pretty much only because there was no name written into it on this date), perhaps you might like to have a uniquely creative and...
There’s something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There’s battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Some people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we [...]
Saw Poco last Friday night in Lawrence with Brown Eyes. Liberty Hall. Drinks with friends beforehand at the Eldridge, then crossed the street to one hell of a fine show. Joint was full of old hippies, young hipsters, and a phalanx of people somewhere in between. Sold out. So fine to hear that sound again, this [...]

Sometimes, as Joni Mitchell wrote, you don't know what you have until it's gone. And other times, you have no idea what you had until it has been gone for a long time. Witness: Buffalo Springfield.
I've had a great summer from a music appreciation standpoint. I went back in my collection and pulled out a couple of old albums that I haven't listened to in a while and, just over the last month, I've picked up way too may new recordings. Part of this is because things I've ordered in the mail came at about the same time and part of it is that Best Buy has had some good stuff for $7.99 lately. I've...
When guitarist/singer/songwriter Stephen Stills auditioned for a part in the TV series The Monkees in 1966, it may have been one of those unique moments in rock history when a major artist "sold out" before he would "tune in, turn on, and drop out." But establishing the folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield might have been one way to redeem him. He was joined by Richie Furay, who later played with some...
