Amazon is now showing a title "Carry On" by Stephen Stills, $53.77, with a release date of February 26. Looks like the long-promised box set, most likely.

Carry On is a four-CD set, spanning 50 years and includes more than five hours of music and includes a 113 page booklet. Produced by Graham Nash and Joel Bernstein with Stephen Stills, Rhino s anthology spotlights the remarkable scope of stills career with essential recordings, live cuts, new mixes, and 25 previously unreleased tracks.

The tracks unfold mostly in chronological order, and the anthology leads off with its oldest entry: "Travelin " a previously unreleased recording that Stills made at age 17 in Costa Rica (one of the many places he lived growing up in a military family). The youngest track, recorded only a few months ago, features CSN performing "Girl From The North Country" in New York City during a sold-out five-night run at the Beacon Theater that closed the group s acclaimed 2012 world tour.

Carry On, which features a 113-page booklet with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Michael O Hara Garcia, David Bender, and NY Times Best Selling author Daniel Levitin, will be available as a 4-CD boxed set on March 26 from Rhino.

In addition to essential studio and live recordings, Carry On covers new ground with more than an hour s worth of previously unreleased material including "No-Name Jam, " a 1970 recording of Stills in London trading guitar licks with his friend Jimi Hendrix. Other previously unissued highlights include the songs "Welfare Blues" (1984), "Little Miss Bright Eyes" (1973), and "Who Ran Away? " (1968), and early demo versions of "Forty-Nine Reasons" and "The Lee Shore, " and "Black Coral, " a song Stills and Young released as a duo in 1976 the version here features all four members of CSNY. "The Treasure" offers a peek into Stills process originally released in 1973 on Manassas s self-titled debut, this version was recorded by Stills three years earlier with bassist Calvin Samuels and drummer Conrad Isidore during sessions for Stephen Stills 2.

Carry On also features a number of classic songs newly remixed by Nash and Stanley Tajima Johnston, including "Everydays, " "To A Flame, " "See The Changes, " "4+20" and "Change Partners, " the latter with Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar. There is also a newly edited version of Stills performing "Cuba Al Fin" at the Havana Jam in 1979.

Several songs make their CD-debut, including "Uno Mundo, " "War Games" and the single mix of "Love The One You re With. " Stills time on stage is represented as well with a number of previously released performances, including several from his acclaimed 2005 album Man Alive.

The collection boasts new live tracks, including CSN singing "No Tears Left" in 1997 at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and CSNY on stage in 2002 at Madison Square Garden with Memphis Horns Booker T. Jones and Donald "Duck" Dunn covering Otis Redding s "Ole Man Trouble. " Other famous players turn up on Carry On's wealth of material as well, including Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Maynard Ferguson, Ray Baretto, Willie Bobo, and Larry Harlow.

Yay!

I am SO pumped for this (never guess by my avatar, would you?).

This in February and the Stills/Kenny Wayne Shephard album in April and the CSN tour in the spring! 2013 is shaping up to be a good year for us Stills fans!!!

I'm with you Greg, just pre-ordered mine.

This looks like a good one. The year is finally starting to shape up...

BTW, thought you'd enjoy this interview..http://performingsongwriter.com/stephen ... interview/

While we wait for the track listing, I'm curious what the Imwanians would like to hear on this set. Personally I'd like to know what the tracks that Crosby & Nash performed on Long May You Run sounded like with their vocal contributions added. The story is that Stills & Young wiped their vocals, but I prefer to believe they just used a different mix and the multi-tracks are still out there. If Nash did indeed curate this set, then this might be the best/only chance to hear those alternate versions.

If any of the Stills/Hendrix is usable, I'd like that included.

Would also like an official release of the King Biscuit recording of Tree Top Flyer. WGV has been streaming it for years, but afaik, it's never even been offered for download. The live version destroys the studio version on Stills Alone. I actually have 2 versions from KBFH (nabbed the streams off of WGV): 12/8/75 & 10/26/76 & without playing both I can never remember which is the version I LOVE; but one of the 2 is way better than the other, & both are better than the studio version. I originally recorded it off the radio in 1976 & was heartbroken when the cassette was stolen out of my car a couple years later.

I'd probably buy the box just for that one track! (If I ever have money again).

I'll bite when more info is offered on what it is, tracks etc,.......

*previously unreleased

Hmmm....there's a lot here that I already have, but the stuff I don't have looks very interesting. I guess it will come down to price for me.

3 comments:

1. Glad to see the SUPERB War Games back in print

2. Stills singing The Lee Shore?

3. I HOPE Treetop Flyer is the version I talked about above.

And once again (this is 3 times this week!) I agree with Smiff; a bit too much already released stuff; though that was also the case with the Crosby & Nash boxes.

I'm sure if I have the $'s I'll be in, though if memory serves the other 2 boxes were closer to $30 at nr pricing than $50.

I am a little saddened that a legitimate version of a collaboration that Stills and Hendrix did, which can be found in other locations but not on the box set. I am reluctant to identify the full title but, for Stills fans, there is a song out there called "White N______r" that Stills and Hendrix collaborated on.

Found an hq 32 bit floating stream. very nice. Agree, it should be released.

The track listing is a bit underwhelming to say the least, so many previously released stuff. 1 unreleased Buffalo Springfield song ! At least 1 of the jams he did with Jimi is there.

The Crosby box had a whole CD of rare stuff.

I'd forgotten there is at least 1 more KBFH live version of Treetop Flyer from CSN: 8/26/82 California. I would rank the 4 in this order:

1. The one WGV calls Seattle 12/8/75
2. KBFH 8/26/82
3. The one WGV calls New York 10/26/76
4. The lame studio version from Stills Alone

I count 23 unreleased tracks, more than a disc's worth. The Crosby box put all the rare stuff on one disc, no rare stuff on discs 1 and 2. This box spreads them out.

I wasn't expecting this to be mostly unreleased stuff. These things never are. It's a summary of his entire career, with a decent percentage of unreleased tracks included.

You may be disappointed, and I respect that, but on paper this is about what I expected.

but, the other 2 boxes were also only 3 CD's

Well, if the CSNY "Black Coral" is in fact from the Stills-Young sessions, then my wish is satisfied.

that will be nice if it is, now if we could only get neil to release the other 8 songs.........
