I picked this up from a Charity Shop for 30p but am reluctant to include it in my list of Charity Shop purchases for a couple of reasons.
The first is that it originally came from that fascist rag the Daily Mail .Somehow I don't see the Daily Fail as big fans of CSN although David Crosbie probably has enough bonkers views which may appeal to their readers.
The second reason and one that I did not realise until after I picked it up is that 9 of the 11 tracks including the more famous songs are live recordings. Judy Blue Eyes also includes audience participation which is never a good thing on a live recording.
They are probably only second to Fleetwood Mac for their squabbles and line up changes.I'm featuring the two non live ones neither of which include CSN in their entirity
Lay Me Down is from the 1974 album Crosby & Nash from 2004 which was the 4th album that they recorded as a duo and the first since 1976
Drivin' Thunder is from Stephen Stills' 2005 solo album Man Alive! Neil Young of Crosby, Stills ,Nash & Young - (CSNY) - keep up at the back! - gets a writing credit.
This is the only thing that I have from the various collectives other than Deja Vu from CSNY
Can I make a needlessly pedantic comment about "They are probably only second to Fleetwood Mac for their squabbles and line up changes", with reference to line-up changes?

DeleteI find CSN much easier to take when Y is involved.
