Liner Note Author: Buffalo Springfield. Illustrator: Eve Babitz. Unknown Contributor Role: David Crosby. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that Buffalo Springfield could not only top their debut album, but that they'd do it within a year. AGAIN clearly states the band's case as a rootsy American Beatles to rival folk-rock kings the Byrds. Singer-songwriters Steve Stills and Neil Young were firing on all cylinders, Young moving easily from sharp-tongued acid rock ("Mr. Soul") to complex, artsong-like ballads (the epic "Broken Arrow"). Stills could shift on a dime as well, offering the hypnotic, jazzy waltz "Everydays" right alongside the celebratory "Rock & Roll Woman" and the RUBBER SOUL-influenced "Bluebird." Richie Furay gamely navigated the choppy seas between these two giants and penned some beautiful, ahead-of-its-time country-rock along the way.

Buffalo Springfield was one of the definitive 1960s folk-rock groups. Their surplus of strong writers and personalities (including Neil Young and Steve Stills) produced some inspired recordings, but there was no way to keep all that talent under one roof. After a brief, sparkling career and three albums, they splintered into Poco; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; and, of course, the mighty Neil's five-decade solo career. Despite the brevity of the group's life, their country/rock/folk hybrid laid the groundwork for much of what followed in the '70s.
