Man Alive! is the eighth studio album by Stephen Stills, released in 2005. It is a mixture of old and new recordings.
According to the notes of Stephen Stills's 2013 box set Carry On, some of these old and new recordings were dated as follows:
- "Ain't It Always" from December 1976,
- "Spanish Suite" from April 1979 during the sessions of his unfinished 1979 album,
- "Feed the People" from 1989 but with everything but the backing vocals replaced later, and
- "I Don't Get It" in 1991.
- Zimmer's biography of Crosby, Stills & Nash places "Acadienne" with songs for CSNY's 1999 album Looking Forward, and based on the personnel it is from April 1998.[4]
Dates of the others are unknown.
- "Drivin' Thunder" appeared the CSNY album American Dream in 1988, but Stills wrote new lyrics for the version on this album.
- Stills introduced "Heart's Gate" as a new song in concert in 2003.
Graham Nash sings on "Acadienne", "Feed the People", and "Wounded World", which he co-wrote. Neil Young plays on the traditional "Different Man" and "Round the Bend", while Herbie Hancock plays on "Spanish Suite". Stills drew the back and front cover.
