Buffalo Springfield

by Buffalo Springfield

The 2577th greatest album of all time

Buffalo Springfield is the band's 1966 debut that blends folk rock and country rock with psychedelic and classic rock touches. The record pairs acoustic and electric guitars with close vocal harmonies and concise, song-oriented arrangements, showcasing early songwriting and guitar work from Stephen Stills and Neil Young while reflecting the Los Angeles folk rock scene. Its mix of introspective folk ballads, rock drive, and occasional country inflections points toward musical directions that became more prominent in late 1960s American rock.
