The one hundred eighty-second album: #182 Stephen Stills - Stephen Stills

I think the albums of the various variations of super groups Stephen Stills have been in have generally been fairly good, the type of folk rock that tends to connect. Stephen Stills' self-titled album starts Love The One You're With hits the right spot straight away, an up tempo folk rock song that connects immediately and works to set up a good album. It's a positive enough message that suits the music.

The happier feel of the music continues - avoiding the maudlin sound folk tends to get, without the anger from hard rock, the other genre this is based on, and it's an encouraging, exciting album that really works for me. It's thoughtful, but not miserable, and that's what makes this a lovely album.
