This was about expressing himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-30020764766712759072017-03-16T19:58:52.345-07:002017-03-16T19:58:52.345-07:00Thanks for posting Anonymous. Fair enough, no two ...Thanks for posting Anonymous. Fair enough, no two people ever have the same view of the same record - I don't pretend my views have any more weight than anyone else's. I stress I do like this record though and I've heard it a lot down the years - just not by Stills' exceptionally high standards. I don't think I'm alone either, Johnny Rogan destroyed this album in his book on CSNY, I've been quite kind by comparison! Do you know, I started off every Stills/CSN review for months with the same paragraph 'but of course Stills was in a bad place with his love life...' It's the same for quite a few of his records (most of his records?!) and I'd already covered his split with his second wife on the 'Live It Up' reviews (and 'Haven't We Lost Enough?' specifically) so didn't fancy going round old ground again. To my ears though it would have been a lot better if he had let his emotions pour out a lot more instead of reviving old songs. Thanks for reading! 8>)Alan's Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409065548353514714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609845966536781209.post-22138374944807227882017-03-16T19:39:23.766-07:002017-03-16T19:39:23.766-07:00I enjoy all of your reviews! However, I don't ...I enjoy all of your reviews! However, I don't agree that it is not that good. I adore this album. True, his voice is not the same. He was very sad and distressed when he made this album. Every song reflects exactly where he was at this time. Just isn't Like You is about his second wife. His marriage had imploded and he was devastated. The woman described in The Right Girl was someone he actually was involved with and ended up having his fifth child . He knows she is not right for him. This album is real and he lets his emotions pour out. I am in a S.Stills group. Most people in this quite large group adore this album.
