Stephen Stills - a closer look

We've talked about this record, so this may be a first (in over a year of blogging) repeat.  For starters, Henry Diltz, of whom I've written about, took the front cover photo.  On the 2nd song on side one, Do for the Others, he plays guitars, percussion, bass, and vocals with no one else credited.  The record is dedicated to James Marshall Hendrix, who plays lead guitar on Old Times Good Times.  The record is/was produced by Andy Johns.  Way too much to write about Andy to fit here - but look the guy up!  Booker T. Jones plays organ on Cherokee.  And Mama Cass Eliott (legend has it she first suggested David and Graham and Stephen sing together) gets a "voices" credit on the last song on side two - We Are Not Helpless.  Rita Coolidge sings on this record too.
