MANASSAS (ALBUM)

''Manassas'' is the 1972 debut album from Stephen Stills' band of the same name. It is a double album and, according to the sleeve notes, it is intended to be in tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Al Wilson and Duane Allman. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. "It Doesn't Matter" was released as a single and peaked at #61. Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones plays bass on "The Love Gangster." Stills considers this double album to be among his best work.
