Hand-picked by Stills from his personal archives, this album captures timeless and era defining performances. Fans who were lucky enough to catch his historic debut trek, dubbed \"The Memphis Horns Tour,\" were treated to the balladeer, the raving troubadour, the acoustic bluesman, the soul driver, and by far the most passionate music maker. Backed by a loyal cast of friends, including his usual steady rhythm section-drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Calvin \"Fuzzy\" Samuels-along with keyboardist Paul Harris, guitarist Steve Fromholz, and percussionist Joe Lala, these Northern California shows were one of the most unique and intimate stops on the tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album, rather than being an artefact from a bygone era, sparkles and stimulates.
