"Buffalo Springfield Again" is a folk rock album by Buffalo Springfield, a band which included future stars Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay (of Poco fame). The album was released in December 1967 (see 1967 in music) after a tense, protracted period of recording, during which Young was often absent and the band was unable to keep a permanent bass player. (The group's first bass guitarist, Bruce Palmer, spent much of the sessions detained on drug charges.) A number of Los Angeles session players also make appearances.

Among the notable tracks are Young's minor hit, "Mr. Soul". The album also includes two orchestral experiments Young produced with Jack Nitzsche, a Phil Spector associate: "Expecting to Fly" and "Broken Arrow". Both tracks were intended for solo release, and feature Young only, backed by session players (though Furay overdubbed a harmony vocal on the latter).

Stills contributed four tunes, among them "Rock and Roll Woman", a song cowritten by an uncredited David Crosby and allegedly featuring Crosby on backup vocals. (He had just been fired by The Byrds.) This song was probably the first collaboration between Stills and Crosby. Simultaneous tension in the Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, and The Hollies would eventually result in the formation of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
