Oh, hang on, I'm out!

err.. Spoiler alert.

Well, I thought it was superb on virtually every level.

Because I am not an cloth-eared buffoon. yes

Disc 2 is easily as good.

Oh, I never saw this...

The album was split into four thematic sides.

Side 1 - The Raven is a composite of rock and Latin sounds that the group would often perform in full live exactly as recorded.

Side 2 - The Wilderness mainly [centres] on country and bluegrass.

Side 3 - Consider is largely folk and folk-rock, and contains the song "Johnny's Garden", reportedly for the caretaker at Stills' English manor house bought from Ringo Starr.

This includes Stills at his most experimental including using a Moog Synthesiser on "Move Around".

Side 4 - Rock & Roll Is Here to Stay is a rock and blues set. "What To Do" and "Right Now" are Stills take on the CSNY split and his relationship with Graham Nash.

The final acoustic track "Blues man" is dedicated to Jimi Hendrix, Al Wilson, Duane Allman.

Back in!

Sounds like Fleetwood Mac.

by Nightjar Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:30 pm

Folky perhaps, but back with the Latin rhythms.

Needs Stevie Nicks.

A bit Stevie Nicks perhaps.

About 5 years before she might've written something like this.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:31 pm

Cowbells.

by Nightjar Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:32 pm

Stevie Nicks was 11 when this was written.

Probably.

by Nightjar Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:32 pm

Rhymes "hollow" with "shallow".

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:32 pm

Track 13 - Johnny's Garden. Kenneth

by Nightjar Wed Dec 30, 2020 8:33 pm

So, apparently this was written about Ringo Starr's former gardener.
