Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame, is stepping out solo over the next few months with a series of intimate gigs across North America.
The tour will kick off in Ontario, Canada on Friday and go through to the 22nd of July."Doing this tour is all about having fun," Stills told the Winston-Salem Journal in May. "I haven't done anything this intimate in a long, long time, and I think it will be good for me and for the fans. People will be surprised by the new songs, and by how well many of the older ones hold up ... I'll actually get to talk, and tell a few stories, so it's all kind of like my short-cut autobiography."
Coinciding with the tour, Rhino will release 'Just Roll Tape - April 26th 1968'. Just like Neil Young, Stills has dug into the archives for the disc, a collection of 12 previously unreleased demos from an impromptu '68 session in a NYC studio. Included among the sonic gems are the first-ever recordings of songs that would later become classics for Stills solo and his various groups including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Helplessly Hoping," "Wooden Ships" and "Change Partners."
