The Crosby, Stills & Nash triumvirate shot to immediate superstardom with the release of its self-titled debut LP, a sparkling set immortalizing the group's amazingly close, high harmonies.

The Crosby, Stills & Nash triumvirate shot to immediate superstardom with the release of its self-titled debut LP, a sparkling set immortalizing the group's amazingly close, high harmonies. While elements of the record haven't dated well -- Nash's Eastern-influenced musings on the hit "Marrakesh Express" now seem more than a little silly, while the antiwar sentiments of "Wooden Ships," though well-intentioned, are rather hokey -- the harmonies are absolutely timeless, and the best material remains rock-solid. Stills' gorgeous opener, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," in particular, is an epic love song remarkable in its musical and emotional intricacy, Nash's "Pre-Road Downs" is buoyant folk-pop underpinned by light psychedelic textures, and Crosby's "Long Time Gone" remains a potent indictment of the assassination of Robert Kennedy. A definitive document of its era. [In 2006, Atlantic/Rhino reissued Crosby, Stills & Nash with remastered sound, new liner notes, and four bonus tracks: "Do for Others," "Song with No Words," "Everybody's Talkin'," and an early version of "Teach Your Children."] ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

I was overly busy during the time period of Crosby Stills and Nash having their success, so I was really looking forward to this music CD. It arrived on time in great condition and has been a delight to enjoy. Once again, and as usual, Alibris did a fine job!
