Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young: C/D, S/D

I'm assuming he can't pick DC out because he can't stand to listen to CSNY for long enough.

crosby's great. it's too bad he didn't make at least four or five more records like if i could only remember in the 70s.

I meant I have a harder time picking his voice out from their harmonies

I know which horrible songs he wrote

Aww sadface!

Crosby's new album "Croz" is dope. Better than anything I expected out of dude at this date.

lol at this from first response:

I follow Strunk and White..."in the names of business firms the last comma is usually omitted."

See how many songs you can finish from that album.

though it is funny -- "the loner" is one of neil's riffiest riffs, but stills is like "here let me totally rewrite that riff for you."

^^Stills very much in character.

Live box in hand...188 pg. booklet wtf?

Only two songs in but not the vocals sound pretty ragged

Didn't notice until now that Stills and Crosby trade lines on Wooden Ships

Oh uh speaking of Stills, here he is, live with the Memphis Horns, L.A. '71:
http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=1888
27 tracks, including those titled labeled "tuning/talk", but they're all set up to be downloaded individually.

damn, Stills sounds fucking wasted when he opens his mouth on "black queen" from the new live box

he's thinking about his black queen

In the live box afterglow, Nash has been talking about maybe doing an expanded reissue of Deju Vu. Anybody heard boots from those sessions?

David Crosby, he tweets...http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/david-crosby-neil-young-is-very-angry-with-me-20141011

[Croz tweeted some more shade, "I know at least 20 better guitar players than Neil. 3 in Snarky Puppy alone ..Hendrix , Stevie ray, get a grip." Stephen Stills and Graham Nash have yet to respond to Young's CSNY comments

Looks like Neil is leaving the door open for a Stills-Young Band reunion.

B-b-but how does he feel about Richie Furay?

Ready for the next CHVP tour!

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Jail Bait

stills is doing the talking and yeah clearly saying something horrible, cros as per usual giving the avuncular creep stare, neil is estimating how much the gas mileage will decrease with one additional passenger, nash is shaking his head slightly as if to say 'you don't want to get in this car'

otm loooooooooooool

Ah damn! Rick Rojas recently, and now this:

RIP Dallas Taylor, classic CSNY (and Manassas) drummer. From MUSIC SCENE, 1970: http://youtu.be/F0NjZrPX-l0

Sorry

Tim Drummond too. Rule of three.

RIP

"Dallas couldn't play my shit for crap."--Neil Young, on why Taylor was fired from CSNY

He and Stills must have been tight, since he was back for Manassas, and remember too that like 90% of the instrumentation on the 1st CSN album is Taylor & Stills.

Prior to that, Taylor was in Clear Light with Cliff DeYoung, later of Shock Treatment fame.

oh yeah, Doug Lubahn, who played bass on some Doors tracks, was in Clear Light too. Interesting anecdotes in their Wiki(which also says Dallas was in a band with Lowell George), although it does refer to Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, of The Section (James Taylor/Carole King/etc/ backing band), as an "ex-Fug," which is---news.

Anybody heard Clear Light? I only knew of their existence via Lubahn mentions in Doors coverage.

I have the Clear Light album on CD. There's some good stuff on it, and some not so good stuff on it. one of their better songs was a non-lp b-side that ended up (along with the band) in The President's Analyst.

Action-packed! I'll have to keep an eye out for that whole flick on TCM. Thanks.

kortchmar was a fug for pretty much all their reprise era lps, from memory (most surprising fug member: stefan grossman). i understood taylor got kicked out of csny due to his wanting his compositions included on their albums... need to check out the clear light lp sometime.

Wow! When Taylor, King and The Section got back together a few years ago, celebrating the anniversary of their early epochal tours, Rolling Stone did a big piece, with lots about the Section (incl. getting physically assaulted by Carole's terminally druggie husband, esp. after especially well-received shows: he was crazy jealous of their success, let alone Carole's). Don't think it mentioned DK's work with the Fugs (though may have); did indicate that he was more open-minded than many of his fellow mellow mafiosi. He liked punk and new wave, and I think even made some recordings (albums?) along those lines, or intended to be.

(should have edited that, sorry) Didn't Dallas also sue for royalties on Deja Vu, maybe others as well? Claiming that some of his contributions should be considered co-composing, or at least as important components of the arrangements?

In one account (the one in Shakey), Greg Reeves (the bass player on Deja Vu) was dismissed because he'd written a song he lobbied the band to record; Young was in favor, but Crosby felt he was just a sideman would overstepped his bounds. Another report (the one in his wiki says Stills fired him because Reeves flipped out on drugs and thought himself to be an Apache witch doctor.

Only room for ONE drug casualty who thinks he's an apache witch doctor, eh Stills?

"That guy's eatin my lunch!"

I never thought of this until looking at that 'river' clip but Neil Young and David Byrne share a certain facial resemblance when they sing, although the haircuts obscure it.

Somebody's gotta be an Apache witch doctor: bottom line.
