AMG Review of Illegal Stills

James Chrispell
All Music Guide

More coherent than his last effort, Illegal Stills still is mostly filler. Much of it co-written with Donnie Dacus, it finds Stephen Stills trying to recover after too many flops. Includes a curious cover of Neil Young's "The Loner" which Stills apparently always wanted to cover. Young's beats this version hands down.
