Stephen Stills says that he's astounded by the amount of quality unreleased solo material gathering dust in his solo vaults. Stills shed some light on some of the material he's eying to be his next archival project: "There is a host of things that was recorded around the time of the second Stephen Stills record. My God, there's just a couple of things that just thrilled me. But there's outtakes and alternate takes, and songs that didn't make the cut that are still sittin' there in the vault. And except for one particular brand of tape -- everything just plays beautifully."
Stephen Stills 2 was released on June 30th, 1971
Stills has just released the live set Live At Shepherd's Bush, which was recorded in London during the fall of 2008. The album features acoustic and full electric band sets, including classics from his work with the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Manassas, along with his own solo work. Highlights include: "4 + 20," "Johnny's Garden," "Change Partners," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Rock & Roll Woman," "Bluebird," "For What It's Worth," and "Love The One You're With," among others.
