David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name - C or D?

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

I hate CSN but I love this. It sounds wasted rather than smug.

i'm ok with CSN but i love this

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.

^otm

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.

new album is surprisingly ok

first he sells his sailboat, now he's trying to score some $$ with a new album, times must be tough these days for the croz

on the water, but not exactly free.

"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 think this pic is from the sessions

Well, that's gonna be my desktop wallpaper from here on out. Thanks, Tyler!

Just tried to make an inroad into this album but a few tracks along I turned back to safety of No Other . Sorry, guys.

i cab't see the resemblance between those 2 albums but ok

Both Made by guys who in the Byrds prob

Were in the byrds

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.

just getting around to this ... so dope!

Orrrrrr leeeeeee aannnnnns

man Croz is nice tho

yeah i've talked to a lot of people who dig it -- i still need to check it out.

The intermittent revival of this thread is why I love ILM.

and hate Crosby.

cmon you know you want to go on this -- the Cruiseby!

and hate Crosby.

*high five*

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.

surprised that a 72 year old man doesn't like rap music

tbf it probably wasn't until the late 90s that he could distinguish between hearing a rap song and thinking he was hearing beavers building a dam inside his frontal lobe

AVC: What’s your favorite part about visiting Japan?

DC: Wow, where to start. The Japanese National Treasury Sword Museum.

AVC: What draws you to that place in particular?

DC: I’m a student of the blade technology that they developed back around the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s when they started making really amazing Samurai swords.

AVC: Do you collect any yourself?

DC: A little bit. I can’t afford to collect the really big ones.

"I’m a student of the blade technology that they developed back around the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s" is such a fantastic thing to say

Neil Young responds that he's a student of the windshield wiper blade technology developed in the 1940s and 1950s. It will also be the subject of his next album.
