Stephen Stills: Illegal Stills
Barbara Charone, Sounds, 15 May 1976
THERE'S NOTHING dishonest about Illegal Stills. This is the album guaranteed to enhance Stephen Stills' artistic reputation and regain the sophisticated rock 'n' roll credibility he has always deserved. While his last CBS solo album Stills presented a somewhat bitter portrait of the artist as an agonised individual, Illegal Stills contains a healtheir outlook injected with first class musicianship and impeccable taste. The album production is equally superior.
