Free Music Review: Hmmm...maybe I'm wrong.
Hit: 5 Stars

Maybe you CAN get folk-rockier than "Buffalo Springfield Again", because THIS album is a true milestone in the annals of post-war pop culture. Crosby, Stills and Nash came from three excellent groups of the era of the late 60s/early seventies: The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies, and created a group that was actually better than any of the three feeds! David Crosby was the smirking, mink hat-wearing lead singer of the Byrds, Stephen Stills was the elder-statesman/master songwriter for the Buffalo Springfield, (a group literally named after an earthmoving equipment company,) and Graham Nash was one of the elfin harmonizing voices of the Hollies, a British group whose music bore no resemblance to the country-flavored folk-rock of Stills' and Crosby's groups.

When I first heard "Marrakesh Express", I could have sworn it was Simon & Garfunkel releasing a new single, post "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". Imagine my shock when I heard that David Crosby and the Springfield's Stephen Stills had hooked up with the George Harrison-esque Nash to form the very first "supergroup", (others would follow, like Led Zeppelin, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Renaissance and Fleetwod Mac,) of the 70s.

The harmonies on this album were what made CSN legendary....although there is a HUGE Buffalo Springfield influence as far as that's concerned...(they sounded NOTHING like the Byrds or the Hollies!) but it is the songwriting, (again, most of the best work is by Stills,) that really makes it stand out.

Stills' "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is a song praising and cajoling the great Judy Collins, a lover of his at the time. It is THE anthem of the album, and the one most DJs slap in the old console when they want a hit of ol' CS&N. His "Helplessly Hoping" is an easygoing declension of what two lovers are to each other. "You Don't Have To Cry" and "49 Bye-Byes" are the sod-kickers on the album, immediately catchy and full of Stills' trademarks, (intricate guitar-picking and aw-shucks vocals.) Crosby is a VERY close second with his songwriting, collaborating with Stills on "Wooden Ships", having also written "Guinevere" and "Long Time Gone". He easily knocks right on Stills' door with his talent as a tunesmith. Nash, on the other had, produces one of the most sickening rock tunes I've ever heard, with "Lady of the Island", an extremely gooey number that makes him sound incredibly conceited and corny. However, he must have been listening to Crosby's and Stills' jam sessions very closely, because "Pre-Road Downs", (even the TITLE sounds like something Crosby or Stills would have come up with,) pays an obvious homage to his bandmates. He almost redeems himself with this and "Marrakesh Express", probably the OTHER trademark CS&N tune besides "Suite". Yes, "Marrakesh" is the song I thought was a Simon & Garfunkel tune initially.

I wonder just what possessed Stills and Crosby to recruit Nash....the Hollies were British...VEDDY British....fond of baroque guitar work, musical sampling from former British holdings like Jamaica and other, purely European influences in their music, while S & C were EXTREMELY American in their sound, both in their former groups and their songwriting on this and the "Deja Vu" albums. Was Roger McGuinn busy? Dewey Martin? Jimmy Page? Why Nash?

Anyway....this album, probably more than any other, symbolized the whole "Love" generation, encapsulating the folk-country flavor favored by the lion's share of music-lovers back then...not to mention a sanitized "hippie" image that made them palatable to parents and "weekenders" who had one toe in the establishment world and another in the counterculture. No matter what walk of life you come from, you'll find yourself tapping your foot to the rockers on this album and singing along to the harmonies...

And your harlequin will most definitely hover nearby....

Crosby Stills & Nash Poster

One of the most enduring musical partnerships of our time, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Crosby, Stills & Nash are revered for their peerless vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting and musical virtuosity. When the trio first sang together at a friend's Laurel Canyon house in 1968, their uncanny harmonic convergence was immediately apparent, and CSN took shape. Each member came to the new venture from other high-profile bands-Crosby from the Byrds, Stills from Buffalo Springfield, and Nash from the Hollies-and together, they formed that rarest of musical entities, a "supergroup" that lived up to its billing. CSN's 1969 self-titled debut album is one of the true masterpieces of the rock 'n' roll canon, and 1982's Daylight Again is a brilliant portrait of their musical evolution. Still touring and recording together, CSN is an American treasure
As much as any record, CSN's 1969 debut ushered in the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. Yes, this was a group, but it was one made up of three coequal composer/vocalists, each with a heady resume--Crosby an ex- Byrd, Stills in Buffalo Springfield, and Nash a former member of the Hollies. Each supplied distinctive material and contributed to CSN's trademark harmonies. The addition of Neil Young made the supergroup an edgier outfit. There's a purity to the original trio recording, however, that would never be recaptured. --Steven Stolder
