If you know about Buffalo Springfield, it's likely from their only Top 40 hit, 1966's "For What It's Worth" (aka "Stop, Hey, What's That Sound"). Under the radar, though, Buffalo Springfield released three fascinating albums and produced at least a dozen songs that rank with anything made in the late 1960s. Even more significantly, Buffalo Springfield was a training ground for three of the best singers and songwriters of their era, each of whose distinct styles had an oversized influence on popular music in the 1970s.
Join me as I explore Buffalo Springfield's unlikely formation, their brief, intensely creative glory years, and the breakup that was inevitable from the moment the members got together. I also take you through the band members' later adventures, as well as their continually frustrated attempts to get back together and recapture their late-1960s magic.
