Pieces collects some leftovers from the Miami sessions that led to the first album (“Witching Hour” “Like A Fox”), warmups and ideas intended for the lost 2nd Manassas album, Down The Road (“Lies” “Love and Satisfy”), and what Stills refers to as “Chris Hillman and Byron Berline teaching me bluegrass” (“Panhandle Rag” “Uncle Pen”).

8. 2.) Down the Road (Stephen Stills) - Nice Joe Walsh slide guitar; sensible lyrics warning about life's excesses, and Stills sounded good singing in an unusually low key. rating: **** stars 3.) City Junkies (Stephen Stills) - The album's sleeper cut and the song that would have been the best fit for a CSN, or CSN&Y LP.
