Right by You

Stephen Stills

A curious artifact of 1984 where gritty Laurel Canyon songwriting meets the glossy, synth-heavy production of the Miami recording scene.

Find on Amazon

It's Stephen Stills trying to survive 1984 with a rack of synths and a lot of hairspray.

A polished, slightly anxious attempt to find soul within a digital landscape.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring but fascinating transition from acoustic roots to the gated reverb snare on the opening tracks.
The moment the synthesizers swell during the chorus of 'Stranger', signaling a total departure from the Laurel Canyon sound.
Stills' signature raspy vocal fighting to be heard over the thick, polished 80s production of the title track.
