“CSN was the trio’s last fully realised album, and also the last recording on which the three principals handled all the vocal parts without the sweetening of additional voices.
It has held up remarkably well, both as a memento of its time and as a thoroughly enjoyable musical work.” — AllMusic
Crosby, Stills & Nash was a folk rock supergroup made up of American singer-songwriters David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and English singer-songwriter Graham Nash.
CSN’s 1977 self-titled album is a return to the harmony-soaked idealism with which the trio had been catapulted to popularity; it reached No. 2 on the charts, behind Fleetwood Mac’s mega successful Rumours.
AllMusic says the songs on CSN show a “great deal of lyrical maturity and compositional complexity compared to those earlier albums (from a far more innocent time).
“Just a Song Before I Go” was the latest of Graham Nash’s radio-friendly acoustic numbers, and a Top Ten single.
“See the Changes” and “Dark Star” ranked with the best of Stephen Stills’ work, while David Crosby contributed three classics from his distinctive oeuvre:
“Shadow Captain,” “Anything at All,” and the beautiful “In My Dreams.”And Nash’s multi-part “Cathedral,” a recollection of an acid trip taken in Winchester Cathedral on his 32nd birthday, became a staple of the group’s live repertoire.
Ground-breaking music perfection deserves definitive sound and top-notch packaging.
This reissue was mastered directly from the original master tape by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and cut at 45 RPM.
