The Stills-Young Band recorded the album and began a tour in 1976 prior to the album's release, but Young dropped out of the tour when he grew bored with the project, forcing Stills to complete the concert tour solo. The band was together from July through October of 1976. Outside of Stills and Young, the other members of the group came from Stills' solo band.
The title track, the album's first single, was an elegy for Neil Young's 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, his first car. The album stemmed from a desire by both Young and Stills to pick up where they left off with their Buffalo Springfield-era guitar explorations. CSNY cohorts David Crosby and Graham Nash got wind of the project, and "Long May You Run" briefly became a CSNY album. But before long, Young and Stills decided to wipe Crosby and Nash's vocal harmonies from the album tracks in their absence (ironically, Crosby and Nash were busy putting finishing touches on their own duet record.) Crosby and Nash were livid when they found out, and it would be eight years before the quartet even considered working together again (Crosby, Stills and Nash would regroup in 1977 for an album and tour.)

Traces
The Stills-Young Band Lyrics
Believe me when I tell you
That a love true isn't hard to find
'Cause I found mine and she's so fine
Like a lifeline from across the sea
None of the neighbors remember names
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow
Believe me when I tell you
That a love true isn't hard to find
'Cause I found mine and she's so fine
Like a lifeline from across the sea
None of the neighbors remember names
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow
That a love true isn't hard to find
'Cause I found mine and she's so fine
Like a lifeline from across the sea
None of the neighbors remember names
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow
Believe me when I tell you
That a love true isn't hard to find
'Cause I found mine and she's so fine
Like a lifeline from across the sea
None of the neighbors remember names
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow
