History
Buffalo Springfield lasted barely two years in mid-1960s Los Angeles and left a catalogue small enough to fit on a single shelf, yet almost everything that followed in American country rock runs back through it. The band put three songwriters in one room, Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay, which produced both the range of the material and the friction that ended it. The sound is folk rock sharpened by two lead guitars answering each other rather than doubling, close vocal harmony traded between different lead voices, and arrangements that stay lean where contemporaries were adding orchestras. For What It's Worth, written about curfew protests on Sunset Strip, was picked up as a general protest song and outlived its occasion, carried by a two-note guitar harmonic and a vocal that stays calm while describing unrest. Mr. Soul and Bluebird show the harder side. After the split the members scattered into other bands whose success dwarfed this one.
