Album Description
Available in:
Down The Road is the second and last album by Stephen Stills' band Manassas. It was recorded late 1972 / early 1973 and produced by Stephen Stills, Chris Hillman and Dallas Taylor. It was released on April 23, 1973.

Upon returning to the U.S. from the European leg of Manassas' 1972 tour, Chris Hillman took several weeks away from the band to record a reunion album with his pre-Burritos band the Byrds, an effort that also included Stills’ ex-CSNY bandmate David Crosby. Manassas then regrouped and quickly completed their second album, Down the Road. Initial sessions for the album were convened at Criteria Studios, but the band moved the sessions in midstream to Caribou Ranch in Colorado and the Record Plant in Los Angeles after Criteria staff engineers Ron and Howard Albert expressed concern that the sessions were not producing quality results. Down the Road was completed in January 1973, and released in the spring of that year to middling reviews and sales, falling short of RIAA Gold status; it was the first album that Stills appeared on since 1968 not to "go Gold."
The album was not very well received. Rolling Stone was especially critical, saying "[i]t would be sad to think the people involved put this record out not because of business pressures but because they were proud of it." It only made it to #26 on the Billboard album charts and its single, "Isn't It About Time", only made it to #56 on the Billboard singles charts.
