It is one of four high-profile albums released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their 1970 chart-topping album ''Déjà Vu''. Stills dedicated the album to James Marshall Hendrix, who had died a month before the album arrived in stores. ==Content== The album features an array of well-known guest musicians, including John Sebastian, David Crosby and Graham Nash, who contributed vocals. Ringo Starr drums on two tracks under the pseudonym "Richie," which he also used for his contribution to the ''London Sessions'' album by American bluesman Howlin' Wolf, recorded in England the same year. Stills' album is also the only album to which both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix supplied guitar work. The song "We Are Not Helpless" was written in response to Neil Young's song "Helpless" from the ''Déjà Vu'' album. "Love the One You're With," Stills' biggest solo hit single, peaked at #14 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 on December 19, 1970, and another single pulled from the album, "Sit Yourself Down," went to #37 on March 27, 1971. The album peaked at #3 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in the week of December 5, 1970. It was reissued by WEA after being digitally remastered using the HDCD process on December 5, 1995. "We Are Not Helpless" and "Love the One You're With" were first performed in concert on May 12, 1970 during Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's ''Déjà Vu'' tour. In 2009 Crosby, Stills, & Nash released ''Demos'' featuring an early demo of "Love the One You're With". Reviews of the album were decidedly mixed ranging from lukewarm to positive. Allmusic calls it "a jaw-dropping experience" just short of ''Crosby, Stills & Nash'' and ''Déjà Vu''〔 while others such as Rolling Stone were less effusive, qualifying the somewhat negative tone by writing "I'm not saying I don't like this album." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Stills (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
