Results for Buffalo Springfield

During its brief and stormy lifetime, Buffalo Springfield broke ground for what became country rock. In March of 1967, Buffalo Springfield went Top Ten with "For What It's Worth," written after the Sunset Strip riots. Not long after this success, the group began to disintegrate and ended up recording its second album on the run. Recording in Los Angeles was both exciting and enervating in the mid-1960s and allowed the group to work with some of the best available musicians from the area, among them Jim Messina. Neil Young was ambivalent about the group's fame, however, and eventually left the group to record on his own. Stephen Stills also left and formed Crosby, Stills and Nash with David Crosby from the Byrds and Graham Nash from the Hollies....more

  • Charles Manson: When I Get to the Bottom

    by Brian BrownJune 11, 2008Comments (40)

    Dennis Wilson called Manson his Wizard and the two became very close, swapping girls, songs, and religious ideas. Wilson meanwhile championed Manson to the elite music establishment by opening all sorts of doors for him, dropping him off, guitar in hand, at the hippest gatherings and playing his demos to whomever would listen. He even used Manson’s ideology in interviews. Suddenly the surfing, All-American, beefcake Beach Boy was talking about fear (read more)

  • Happy One-Year Anniversary: A Time to Celebrate and Look Back

    by The EditorsMay 14, 2008Comments (17)

    Read shared stories from Paul and other writers and editors who worked on the original Crawdaddy! (plus our own Denise Sullivan who writes quite eloquently on the Crawdaddy! spirit). As we take time this issue to pay homage to the original, as our own one-year anniversary wouldn’t even be remotely possible without it, we hope you enjoy them as they recount their insightful tales.

    But San Francisco—the Fillmore, the Avalon, the Trips Festivals, the Diggers, Owsley’s acid, Haight Street and Ashbury and Masonic and Golden Gate Park, the Straight Theater, Herb Caen, the Barb, the communication company—these have been and are and will be the environment (read more)

  • Sam Cooke: “A Change Is Gonna Come”

    by Paul WilliamsJuly 18, 2007Comments (5)

    This one makes it on the lyric alone. Sam Cooke’s vocal is absolutely exquisite, of course, but the only thing “rock ‘n’ roll” about this record is its message, the simple power of the title phrase, as sung by a black man (a recently dead black man) in America on the public airwaves in 1965.

    Let me tell you about popsicle sticks. To me, a major aspect of rock ‘67 is the tightness of the new groups. By tightness, I mean the feeling of wholeness a group projects when they’re onstage (or in a recording studio)... (read more)
