Some 50 years into an acclaimed music career that has twice landed him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Stephen Stills is finally getting back to his first love — the blues.
Stills, along with blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd and keyboardist Barry Goldberg, has formed the supergroup The Rides. The trio performs 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, at Tropicana Casino and Resort.
Stills, who spent the bulk of his career in the folk-rock genre with Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young) and his solo work, seems to be reveling in this late-career change of pace.
“Like everybody else in my generation, we were into R&B and rock ’n’ roll, and listening to the same (blues) guys as the (Rolling) Stones –– as with everybody else, that was my first love,” Stills says. “The question of getting thrown in with all those folkies perpetuated itself for 40 years.”
