In August 1966, Buffalo Springfield were persuaded by their record label to release Neil Young\u2019s mournfully elliptical composition Nowadays Clancy Can\u2019t Even Sing as their debut single. The band\u2019s co-founder Stephen Stills had good reason to believe that Young\u2019s ode to creative disenfranchisement might have worked better as a B-side to one of Stills\u2019s own more easily elegant songs \u2013 Sit Down I Think I Love You, maybe, or Go And Say Goodbye. The track\u2019s writer, meanwhile, was aggrieved to be told by Charles Greene and Brian Stone, the producers of Buffalo Springfield\u2019s self-titled first album, that his voice wasn\u2019t right for his own song and that fellow vocalist and rhythm guitarist Richie Furay would be the smoother choice. Sharply ironic, considering this was a song that questioned the rules and group-think obstructing individual self-expression. \u201cWho\u2019s putting sponge in the bells I once rung?\u201d the lyrics ask. This time, Young\u2019s voice would be muffled. <\/p>\n<p>Frustration, blocked exits, sudden U-turns: Buffalo Springfield\u2019s trajectory was never frictionless. In 1964, Young had written Sugar Mountain, a song about being frozen out of youth\u2019s prelapsarian bliss by time\u2019s passing; melodramatic, given he was 19, but the fear of becoming increasingly severed from fulfilment and meaning was one to which Young was acutely sensitive. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/09\/2.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>He had already served time on Ontario\u2019s \u201ccircuit\u201d in his hard-working Winnipeg band The Squires, first meeting Stills when his group Company played at Fort William coffee house The Fourth Dimension. The Squires disintegrated on contact with encroaching adulthood and next-step pressures, while Young\u2019s solo audition with Elektra in New York in December 1965 had been a morale-crushing failure, partly triggering Nowadays Clancy Can\u2019t Even Sing\u2019s old-country bitterness. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/09\/3.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;3&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;image-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-10px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Burned: Young steps up for Mr Soul on The Hollywood Palace TV show, April 8, 1967<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>In January 1966, there was another fools-gold flash when Young was introduced to Toronto band The Mynah Birds and replaced their guitarist Tom Morgan. The prospect of a single and album on Motown Records, however, was destroyed when their grudge-bearing former manager revealed to the label that their frontman \u2013 Ricky Matthews, later \u201980s funk superfreak Rick James \u2013 was AWOL from the navy. <\/p>\n<p>Thwarted, Young and Mynah Birds bassist Bruce Palmer bought the second of Young\u2019s hearses \u2013 the first was called Mortimer Hearseford \u2013 and headed to Los Angeles, where they believed \u201call the music was happening\u201d. Yet unable to find a foothold \u2013 or indeed Stills \u2013 Young and Palmer decided to strike out for San Francisco\u2019s hippy seedbed instead. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;text-with-dropcap&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 has-dropcap\">BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD\u2019S ORIGIN story now comes with the rainbow glitter of a rom-com meet-cute. As Young and Palmer were driving Mort 2 out of Los Angeles, they heard somebody calling from a car in the opposite lane: it was Stills. They stopped and hugged in the road. \u201cBuffalo Springfield was an accident that was waiting to happen for both of us,\u201d said Stills in 1994. \u201cOne of those marvellous accidents of fate.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Coins and dice were still not entirely loaded in their favour, though. Even with a name suggesting both workhorse functionality and modish olde-world Americana, Buffalo Springfield were already a little behind the folk-rock curve \u2013 The Byrds had released their Mr Tambourine Man in June 1965 \u2013 but not quite ready to transition into psychedelia. Their debut album \u2013 recorded across the summer of 1966 at LA\u2019s Gold Star Studios, is at times slightly airless. The guitar creases are ironed into Stills\u2019s Sit Down I Think I Love You; Pay The Price sounds like a self-consciously groovy Run For Your Life. Alongside For What It\u2019s Worth (a hit single in spring \u201967), Everybody\u2019s Wrong\u2019s attempt at defying the man lacks danger, despite the final rebellious clang. <\/p>\n<p>If the harmonies are perfectly arranged on Young\u2019s Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It? (sung with Furay\u2019s matinee-idol suavity), though, there\u2019s a note of strange anxiety, \u201cindecision is crowding me\u201d, jarring amid the blue-velvet romanticism. It\u2019s the unease that seeps through Nowadays Clancy Can\u2019t Even Sing, too, or Young\u2019s Flying On The Ground Is Wrong, barroom piano shrugging off its existential come-down. The slow collapse of Out Of My Mind, meanwhile, sounds like a premature star lament \u2013 \u201cAll I hear are screams \/ From outside the limousines\u201d \u2013 but factor in the queasily anaesthetic harmonies, those cars also suggest malign influences just out of frame. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was Green Card paranoia, then, or the worry around Young\u2019s increasingly intense epilepsy, but <i>Buffalo Springfield<\/i> thrums with tension beyond the usual creative differences. That discomfort found its most successful sound on For What It\u2019s Worth, Buffalo Springfield\u2019s Top 10 single in December 1966. Added to the re-released album in March 1967, its warning against hawkish establishment powers dovetailed with the concerns of the peace-and-love generation. Inspired by the police crackdown on Sunset Strip party kids, it lands with the clarity of a good news photograph, Stills\u2019 steady vocals and Young\u2019s early-warning-system guitar giving it eye-of-the-storm impact. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/09\/6.jpg&#8221;

Accordingly, <i>Buffalo Springfield Again<\/i> \u2013 the title alone suggests weariness \u2013 emerged from nine slow months of increasing creative insularity. Yet despite its difficult gestation and diffuse tracklisting, the album unrolls in a glorious free-ranging rush, its new psychedelic energies apparent from Young\u2019s ominous opener Mr Soul, inspired by his epilepsy. Young pushes furthest out with the grand mystic heartbreak of Expecting To Fly, recorded with arranger Jack Nitzsche and Wrecking Crew musicians, and Broken Arrow\u2019s clairvoyant collaging, but everyone\u2019s on form, whether it\u2019s Stills with the buzzy love bead psych-pop of Bluebird or Richie Furay with the Young-baiting A Child\u2019s Claim To Fame. Buffalo Springfield wouldn\u2019t hold them much longer, but for a moment, everything \u2013 and everyone \u2013 was in the right place. <\/p>\n<p> <b>Side 1<\/b> Mr. Soul \/ A Child\u2019s Claim To Fame \/ Everydays \/ Expecting To Fly \/ Bluebird <br \/><b>Side 2<\/b> Hung Upside Down \/ Sad Memory \/ Good Time Boy \/ Rock &amp; Roll Woman \/ Broken Arrow <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;ss-custom-header&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Cabin|700|||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Cabin|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Last Time Around<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-main&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">RELEASED: <strong>July 30, 1968<\/strong>\u00a0\/ LABEL: <strong>ATCO<\/strong> \/ CHART: <strong>&#8211; (UK) | 42 (US)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/09\/d.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;d&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Effectively a posthumous album compiled after Buffalo Springfield\u2019s fractious dissolution in May 1968, <i>Last Time Around<\/i> has high points \u2013 Furay\u2019s country cousin Kind Woman, Young\u2019s tender I Am A Child \u2013 but only On The Way Home\u2019s burnished R&amp;B features the full five-piece.
