Speaking of Jimi . . . . . (he appears on this posthumously) we bought both Stephen Stills 1 & 2 when they came out and, though sounding somewhat dated now, he is a fine guitarist and fine soulful singer. I was never entirely sure about the moral issues raised by this song but maybe that's best left to another day. Enjoy!
