"Buffalo Springfield Again" by Buffalo Springfield (1967)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Buffalo Springfield  "Again"  1967 (USA/Canada)
Buffalo Springfield was a 60's group with tremendous promise, featuring three formidably talented front men in Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay.  Yet they never lived up to their potential, their lone hit "For What It's Worth" (featured on the soundtrack of every movie and TV show with a cliched sixties protest flashback) putting them solidly in "one hit wonder" territory.  The most fully realized of the group's three albums was this, their second.  It is particularly notable as a landmark in Neil Young's recording career -- two of his three contributions to this album ("Expecting To Fly" and "Broken Arrow") were actually solo sessions recorded with Jack Nitzsche, who would produce his solo debut the following year.  Neil's third tune "Mr. Soul" was the group's second biggest hit, though it failed to reach the Top 40.  
Here's the band performing a medley of "For What It's Worth" and "Mr. Soul" on TV, and here's a recent clip of old Neil rocking out on a tune from his latest album, "No Hidden Path" from Chrome Dreams II.
