anyway, this record is much better than most of the "hippie rock" at the time. (including the Dead imo), so a punk with an ear for a more "artisic" record would've appreciate it i think.

Really love this album, can remember buying the CD at the same time as VU's Loaded - it was a really hot day and I had a long wait for my bus home; it sounded absolutely amazing on my discman. I just got the vinyl reissue for Christmas but haven't played it yet.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 6 January 2014 14:08 (ten years ago) link
yes this album is wonderful. bought my copy for $2 maybe 3 or 4 years ago? what a great deal.
Nobody bought it hence its perennial bargain bin status
usually this is the other way around, right? the records i see in the bargain bin sold like fucking crazy in their day. CSNY were huge by any measure, this record always sits next to deja vu, harvest, etc., if you're paying more than $5 bucks for any of these records, you're getting robbed imo. not because they aren't good but because they are ubiquitous; they sold a shit load of copies.
also cowboy movie has so much more of a crazy horse vibe than a dead vibe

and can i just say how fucking gorgeous crosby's voice is? one of the all time great rock singers, for sure, his voice is magnificent. there's some dylan comment somewhere where bob talks about how much he loved crosby's voice.
if y'all dig this record then you must all love "almost cut my hair"

if CSN irritate me will I like this album?

It depends what you don't like about CSN - I find them hit and miss myself but it's mainly the Nash songs I have problems with.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 6 January 2014 16:14 (ten years ago) link
a good CSN gauge for liking this album is "Guinnevere"

also, a good gauge for liking this albom is to listen it

I've never taken the plunge mostly cuz I hate Crosby so much - always the worst thing about the Byrds, and CSN is unlistenable

Without the trippy arrangement "Traction in the Rain" would be a bit too close to singer-songwriter book store dreck poetry night open mic blue eyed easy funk. The production saves it for me, which is the case for most of this album. Though the rhythm track on song 02 is BANGIN'.

I kind of think of this as the Dead's best studio album.
Crazy. Workingman's Dead/American Beauty are both miles better than this.

Yeah that was a bit of hyperbole, I agree, but many things I like about this record are because of its Dead-ness, even on the tracks w/ out the Dead, similar headspace for me. And Jerry plays incredibly on this record.

"Many of David's songs have been created on board this spiritual platform"
those must be the songs from Oh Yes I Can and Thousands Roads. maybe he should ask for a lower price..

Hey, does anyone know if "What Are Their Names" was recorded live in studio or via overdubs? I ask because the very idea of Neil and Garcia and Lesh in the same room with guitars is pretty exciting. I don't have the 2xCD reissue of this (how are the liner notes, btw?), nor have I read Crosby's bio--is this info in either of these places?

I was gifted the 180 gram reissue from a couple years ago for my birthday and it is just wonderful.
The low end frequencies, in particular, are noticeably juicier and just dandy.

DON: The mere fact that after all he's been through, we still have David Crosby among us making music and singing as well as ever is cause for celebration. We'd been fans going back to the Byrds and then CSNY, listening to those great albums, absorbing the activism, and learning the meaning of "Harmony".
GLENN: Crosby's coining of the phrase "...why can't we go on as three?" made both Don and I's personal lives waaaaaaay more interesting.
DON: Well, yeah.

Photos of Crosby's boat! I wonder if there's a stash somewhere that he forgot about before selling it.
