Stephen Stills: Thoroughfare Gap
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 11 November 1978
IN THE end all will be disco, or so it would seem, so the best you can hope for is that your chosen hero exercises a modicum of taste and discretion. Although I have always held the opinion that Steve Stills is a swollen-headed asshole, he uses so much common sense and flair here that I managed to enjoy a large percentage of this record. Grosby, Pills and Hash it ain't, thankfully.
