Stephen Stills Down the Road Rock Music CD Review

Down The Road is the latest Rock CD put out by the highly talented Stephen Stills who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Stephen Stills fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Down The Road kicks off with an outstanding track, Isn’t It About Time, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It’s a really nice track.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Stills on several of the tracks. Artists like Joe Walsh and Bobby Whitlock just to name a couple.

I’m of the opinion that Down The Road is certainly Stephen Stills’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 6 – Do You Remember The Americans, track 5 – Business On The Street, and track 10 – Rollin’ My Stone

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Isn’t It About Time. Wow!
