Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Studio Archives (1969)

 

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are a pioneering folk-rock / rock supergroup that formed from the ranks of three 1960s bands: Buffalo Springfield , The Byrds , and The Hollies . The band is primarily known for their four-part vocal harmonies. They have a strong association with the Woodstock Festival, having played their second ever gig there, and they are one of the few North American groups that rivaled The Beatles in popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They are commonly referred to by their initials CSNY.

Everybody's Talkin' (Neil): CSN acousticNice acoustic reading with strong Stills vocal and uncertain harmony fromCrosby. No Nash. Stills is using his dropped D tuning familiar from SuiteJudy Blue Eyes. Same session as 2 and probably 11.Stills: lead vocal, acoustic guitar. Crosby: harmony vocal.2. How Have You Been? (Sebastian): CSN acousticAn acoustic performance from CSN, with exquisite 3 part harmonies and Stillsplaying his dropped D acoustic. Sounds like the same session as 1 andprobably 11. Utterly fantastic.Stills: lead vocal, acoustic guitar. Crosby: harmony vocal. Nash: harmonyvocal.3. studio chatalmost certainly a continuation of 3, with Crosby and Stills discussingworking with The Grateful Dead and Stills noodling on his acoustic,including the riff from Black Queen4. Triad (Crosby): Crosby soloThe arrangement is not quite as worked out as the 4-Way Street version, butthis is still wonderful.Crosby: 12-string guitar, vocals5. Almost Cut My Hair (Crosby): Crosby soloWith none of the power of the Deja Vu full band version. Nice, though.6. Everyday We Live (Stills) : CSNY electricForgettable Stills song. Sounds like a "CSN" outtake, with lead guitarsimilar to Pre-Road Downs. Backing vocals from Crosby and Nash, or possiblyStills multi-tracked. In fact, Stills could play and sing everything here.There are distinct gaps for guitar solos suggesting the track was nevercompletedStills: double-tracked lead vocal, lead guitar. Other instrumentation: 2ndguitar, organ, bass, drums, tambourine, backing vocals7. Sea of Madness (Young): CSNY electricAlmost certainly a rehearsal take, beginning with a breakdown and a fulltake from the 2nd verse onwards. Excellent guitar solo.Young: vocals, guitar (?). Stills: lead guitar. Crosby: rhythm guitar. Otherinstrumentation: organ (Nash?), bass, drums8. The Lee Shore (Crosby): CSNY electricThis is the same as the version released on the CSN box set, but with adifferent lead vocal from Crosby, and no harmony vocal from Nash (which wasapparently overdubbed in 1991)Crosby: vocals, electric guitar. Stills (?): lead guitar . Young (?):acoustic guitar/harmonica. Other instrumentation: bass, drums9. You Can Dance Real Good (Stills): CSNY electricListed as an instrumental but sounding like a backing track waiting forvocal overdubs. Very similar to Everybody I Love You.Stills: lead guitar. Other instrumentation: 2nd guitar, organ, bass, drums10. I'll Be There (Stills): CSNY electricAnother forgettable, unfinished Stills song.Stills: lead guitar, vocals. Other instrumentation: organ, bass, drums.11. Blackbird (McCartney/Lennon): CSN acousticOuttakes from "CSN" sessions. Four takes, the first a breakdown, the thirdused on the CSN box set. Beautiful.Stills: acoustic guitar, vocals. Crosby: harmony vocals. Nash: harmonyvocals.12. Ivory Tower (Stills): CSNY electricExcellent Stills outtake, Stills can be identified on lead guitar and piano,so this must have been overdubbed before being abandoned. The lyrics referto "ivory tower" (later used in Sugar Babe on Stephen Stills 2), and "thetreasure of the one" (later used in The Treasure on Manassas)Stills: vocal, lead guitar, piano. Young (?): lead guitar. Otherinstrumentation: bass, drums, tambourine.13. $30 Fine (Stills): CSNY electricVery much an outtake!Stills: vocal, lead guitar. Crosby: rhythm guitar. Other instrumentation:organ, bass, drums.14. Everybody's Been Burned (Crosby): Nash solo acousticNash's dour take on a song from The Byrd's Younger Than Yesterday albumNash: acoustic guitar, vocals15. You're Wrong Babe (Nash): Nash soloSlight pop song.Nash: organ, vocals16. Everybody's Alone (Young): CSNY electricA rare Neil song, only previously available as a solo acoustic recording forKQED in January 1970, this is an excellent full band CSNY version.Young: vocals, acoustic guitar.
