Crosby, Stills & Nash / Crosby, Stills & Nash

This is a revised and updated version of the article "The One to Choose" that I posted on another site on May 10, 2004.

Crosby, Stills & Nash (hereinafter CS&N) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (hereinafter CSN&Y) were supported by rock fans who were tired of hard rock but found folk music a bit lacking.

You can enjoy high-quality West Coast sound on their series of albums, but this first album is the freshest of them all.

With masterpieces like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," which Stephen Stills dedicated to Judy Collins, Graham Nash's light pop number "Marrakesh Express," and David Crosby's melancholic "Guinnevere," the composition is one you never tire of, as each member's personality shines through.

Crosby, an essential secret ingredient; Stills, with his outstanding performance ability and musical sense; and Nash, who is second to none when it comes to harmonies. My goodness, the fact that such masters came together is amazing in itself. It is also amazing that these three could coexist while maintaining such a balance.

The music played by like-minded friends in a relaxed atmosphere was born through that era, the era of love and peace. Born from The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, this folk-rock style, which was almost perfected by CS&N, became established as music to heal the exhausted 70s after the tumultuous 60s.

Later, another eccentric, Neil Young, joined the group. CS&N became CSN&Y and released the masterpiece "Deja Vu."
