I got a good reason for loving you
It's an old fashioned sign
I kinda get the feelin' like mmm you know when
I fell in love the first time.

Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
The look in your eyes

Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's all right

Remember once before you're hearing
The old folks say
Love's an ageless old rhyme
But now a days you know the sayin' depends so much on
The kind of woman that you find

Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight?
The look in your eyes

Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Aah you say it's all right

[Instrumental Break]

Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight?
The look in your eyes

Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's all right

I assume that is Steven Stills' whiplash slide guitar in the foreground?



Nope. Rusty Young (R.I.P) was brought in on pedal steel by Richie and later the two formed Poco with Jim Messina and Randy Meisner (also R.I.P.). All legendary in the genre.

I believe that slide guitar is actually Rusty Young (very young at the time) who was recruited to play steel on Furay's very county song. After this album and breakup of BS both went on to form Poco with Jim Messina. Rusty stayed with this band for decades. The other Young had little to nothing to do with this album. Messina was the recording engineer which prevented him from performing with BS due to union rules at the time. 

POCO was a great band and very influential in Country Rock. Both bass players for the Eagles (Timothy B. Schmidt and Randy Meisner) came from Poco. Very underrated and overlooked band from that time similar to the Jayhawks are to the next generation ALT country. 


This gave me a" good feeling to know" I'd read it!

Always dug this one,  Richie's voice and the guitar (not sure whether it's Neil or Stills) blend perfectly.

All of Rock is Six Degrees of Buffalo Springfield.

I had the 8-track until I worn it out. I did find it in HDCD disc format (20-bit) Sounds pretty good, but the ears aren't what they were, 50+ years down the road.
Served as an inspiration for Gram Parsons/Byrds/Flying Burrito Bros as well as countless country rock bands to follow i.e. The Eagles.

Sure, after Buffalo Springfield broke up, each member took his songs with him-- Kind Woman was Richie Furay's

I gave it a 7?  That must have been my hard of hearing day of the week. 8.  The genesis of country rock right here. Go for it, Stills and Furay. 
And I'm right back in high school, listening with my friend Barney. RIP, brother.

Amazing talent, imagination, and musical virtuosity among the members of this ground-breaking band. '68?! Still sounds great to me!
This song goes in my (very) short list of PERFECT songs!  11+
Kinda got a Canadian Grateful Dead thing goin on here. :)

Or were the Dead just doing the California Buffalo Springfield thing?

Likewise... my dad wore the grooves off this album in the 70's. 

I found myself singing along but now knowing how/here i'd ever heard it... part of my DNA now, apparently 

 
Me too. Nice one RP.

oh thank you for playing this song

This album was on its way to being their best until internal friction (see Neil Young) forced them to be less creative and abandon a two record set of this song type and selected live performances. Still a dynamite record and you see the incredible music it spawned!     {#Cheers}{#Jump}
Richie!!!
