It seems that Buffalo Springfield knew 1967 was a consequential year for music. Determined to do their part, they came off the bench in November with their second album and made sure it was GOOD. Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and Richie Furay share songwriting honors; Young and/or Stills produce seven of the songs. It is varied in strength and style but fits together. My favorite songs have a sound that’s familiar from Stills/Young’s later collaboration as CSN&Y on Deja Vu. The closing song, “Broken Arrow,” sounds like it was inspired by (dare I say) Sgt Pepper - translated into counter culture Americana. Great band, strong album.
