Manassas

by Manassas

The 1622nd greatest album of all time

Manassas is the 1972 double album from the band Manassas, led by Stephen Stills. The record moves fluidly through classic rock, folk rock, blues rock and country rock, with touches of Latin and bluegrass, pairing electric rockers with acoustic ballads and country-tinged jams. It emphasizes ensemble playing, layered vocal harmonies and varied instrumentation, including prominent slide and pedal steel textures, and serves as a showcase for Stills' eclectic songwriting and the group's tight musicianship.
