Manassas (band)

Manassas was an American rock supergroup formed by Stephen Stills in 1971.[2] It was used primarily for Stills' music, the band releasing two studio albums before disbanding in October 1973. They released a 1972 self titled debut and a second album titled Down the Road in 1973.

Legacy[edit]

Criteria Studios engineer Howard Albert has said "Manassas was one of the greatest and the most underrated bands of the seventies. That double album, along with Eric Clapton's Layla – which me and [Ron Albert] both worked on – stand as the most important and best albums we've ever been a part of."[15] Of the band's prowess on stage, Stephen Stills has said "Manassas was such a terrific band. It really had some structure and reminded me of [Stills' previous band] the Buffalo Springfield at its best. Manassas could play anything."[15]
