Reviews (page 9 of 14)
I almost like this a lot more than I actually do. It has great harmonies and melodic structure to put it among the greats, but there is a shallow softness to it that no doubt inspired acts like America to get together and truly embrace the sound arguably coined by this and some Byrds records. However, that just makes this album sound simple for the most part in retrospect. My favorite parts of this album are when Graham Nash comes on and delivers his more oddball tunes, as they have a unique style to them that feel like they inspired the twee sound of the 90s, but a lot of the album just feels like it is missing something. You may be thinking "Then listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,' but I already tried that one, and my opinions come out the same. It's decent, it has merit, but I don't think it stands up much against other '69 offerings, not that it was trying to do so in the first place.
El folk-rock adquirió con Crosby, Stills & Nash un nuevo estadio en el que las letras etéreas y los sonidos exploratorios de los 60 dieron paso a autorreflexiones serenas, más introspectivas y llenas de contenido de los 70. Crosby procedía de los Byrds, Nash de los Hollies y Stills había liderado Buffalo Springfield, pero juntos sonaban muy diferente a todas esas bandas, con unas armonías vocales únicas y un estilo en el que se fusionaban folk acústico, pop melódico y rock. El disco comienza magníficamente con "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", una épica canción de amor escrita por Stills a propósito de su relación con Judy Collins (famosa por sus penetrantes ojos azules). Crosby es el responable de otro temazo, "Long Time Gone", contundente denuncia del asesinato de Bob Kennedy y uno de los temas socio-políticos del disco. Otro es la antibelicista "Wooden Ships", sencilla e inocente, para algunos hoy puede que suene algo cursi, pero su humanismo sigue siendo tan imprescindible como siempre. En "Pre-Road Downs", folk-pop alegre con toques psicodélicos, Nash nos habla de los sentimientos de desánimo que le provoca salir de gira dejando a su mujer en casa. Me gustan mucho las armonías vocales de "Helplessly Hoping", de nuevo una canción de Stills inspirada ahora en la descomposición de su relación con Judy Collins. También "Teach Your Children", una hermosa llamada al encuentro entre generaciones mientras transitan por un camino, el de la vida, que tarde o temprano, por una razón y otra, dejarán de compartir.
This is nice, I saw another reviewer called this comfy which I think suits. Just pleasant, unchallenging folky rock.
nice country/folk/blues from the late 60s
Omg do these boys love their vocal harmonies So so so groovy Almost every song on it is a favorite!
Absolute trash.
Sweet, heartfelt, and easy to listen to. A great mix of folksy songs for every mood. I definitely felt Nash's songs were a bit weaker, but still great to listen to. An all around great album. Top tracks: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Guinnevere, Helplessly Hoping
Can't help I was already introduced to most of this from my parents. Love the harmonies, and the instrumentation on lots of these. Sometimes, it gets a little samey, but on the whole, great. 4/5
Liked the beginning of this album but it seemed to blur together at the end. 3/5
Really enjoyable, but there were a few moments where the mixing seemed off and the vocals were too soft.
Another stinker 2 stars. i like the idea of this music, but the reality is I'm bored with how slow and inoffensive it is. It's I guess a fine listen at work, but I find it also boring as sin. Oh well.
Okay to listen to while at work. Not something I would choose on my own.
Was somewhat familiar, but better than I expected.
Good album.
Yep I like this - not a total classic classic but listenable and some classic tunes on there
hey 60s folk guys nobody cares about your take on Guinnevere. This sucks, and I don't want to think about it. Should it be 1 star? Maybe. I don't want to think about it. music: hated. ( -_-)
When I reviewed Deja Vu, I did not expect to land on a 2, but I did. I thought, “Would this be a 1 if it didn’t include Neil Young?” Well, here we are. I’ve already said a lot about my feelings towards hippie folk, all that still stands here. It’s not really the WORST thing I’ve ever heard, but it sucks a lot, I will never listen to it again, and it now exists on a curve against CSNY.
This is a tough one - because I liked it A LOT more than I thought I would. It’s a 3.5 at least, but is it a 4? I don’t know. But I’ll say this much: I don’t know why they thought they needed to add Neil Young. I had a Neil Young and Crazy Horse album a couple days ago and this is miles better than that. Since I think I gave that one a 3, I guess I’ll give this one a 4.
Couldn't figure out why Spotify didn't have this, then I realized I hid this album years ago because I was tired of it being constantly recommended. Once I figured that out and listened, it's actually a pretty damn good album.
+ 0.5 for helplessly hoping
28.08.24
Same as the previous album but without Neil Young. Just ok.
This stuff is easy listening and fine, but it all kind of blends together. Adding Young to the mix didn't do a whole lot for me other than highlight his unique voice.
I feel like I have been saying this a lot recently, but I am not a big fan of folk music. It just doesn't do much for me and a lot of it sounds the same. This album doesn't do much for me and a lot of it sounds the same. It is fine and they have good harmonies, but that is about it. Every song sounds like you could throw in the Mrs. Robinson chorus and I wouldn't bat an eye. low 3.
A bit slow for me, but easy to listen to. I'd call it decent, not likely something I'd come back to
Campfire music
Great album - I could listen to this one again and again.
Absolute loved every second of this. I want to live in this album. Helplessly Hoping is such a beautiful song.
I've never gone that crazy for this kind of singer songwriter style music but when it's good it's good you can't deny it
Lowkey the album progressively got better as I listened but I wasn’t a big fan of the work. 3 stars seems correct here. Some songs I just couldn’t stand the multi voice verses.
One of my favorites
Pretty good and chill but does seem to go nowhere. 3.6
very cool
An hour of acoustic guitars and high pitched harmonies, not bad but very uninteresting
It’s better than some of their later work, but I’m just not a fan of the falsetto harmonies.
This is #day11 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... unfortunately, I can't say much about this selection. I don't mind some folk once in a while, but this was a little too dragging. "Long Time Gone" is probably the most memorable cut here. Sorry guys, but this is a 2 out of 5 this time. Looking forward to #day12.
Lovely harmonies and some great music, but it always just felt a little restrained. It may have been groundbreaking at the time, but I just feel it could've done a little bit more somehow - it certainly left me feeling like there was more.
Pleasant. 4.
I forgot they did music without Young. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5
Lovely harmonies The sparseness in instruments can make each one stand out at once, the bass is very standout Second song is so cheery and possibly slightly Beatles esque, catchy and joyful Guinnevere has a beautiful guitar that has aged so well, almost more modern than it should be. The folk harmony focused vocals are like if Simon and Garfunkel loved their guitar a lil more Fourth song is a lovely wee folk tune and very lovey dovey, lil bitesize of comfy folk, the harmonics give it a nice cute vibe UNEXPECTED trippy guitar almost sounds reversed at the start of the fifth song, vocals are very chanty and singalong but reserved enough to not be pandering, really like the lil mini solo with the guitar, do think vocals are a bit simple tho Wooden ships is SMOOTH, almost soulful, whoever the vocalist is on this one is my favourite, “say can I have some of your purple berries” hahahaha goofy but the panning conversation is a cool idea, no idea what the concept is of this song though. Solo with the building hits in the background is pretty, cathartic when the vocals come back in and the “ahs” hit just right. Lady of the island is simple but so fucking BEAUTIFUL, the “dums” layered at the end is so nice and the melody is mesmerising while also catchy and easy to digest, lovesick song that makes you feel so relaxed and warm inside Not much to say that I haven’t said about other songs, helplessly hoping continues the trend of beautiful Melodies with nice harmonies, another uncomplicated yet lovely little bit of folk Perfect follow up in the next song, immediately so full and more complicated instrumentally, feels epic and big compared to the rest of the album, singers voice is large, almost bad ass energy with that guitar effect and the bass and drums hitting a constant thump thump that opens in the chorus, loving the switches between folk and rock on this album, the oscillation is very satisfying Ends with a fun lil rock jam, nothing INSANE but a fun ending leaving a nice final taste Very fun album, not groundbreaking but immensely fun and easy to listen to, with beautiful moments sprinkled between the fun
i loved it. a vibe.
One of my fav
I listened to this more times than I needed to. Songs 10-14 are kind of boring but the rest was great. I came across a Crosby Stills and Nash tour t shirt at some thrift thing, maybe I should’ve bought it. Also wasn’t Teach Your Children on Deja Vu?
so good
6/10 - it was like the same as deja vu. It was not great but not horrible. I feel like the vibes are good but the music is fine.
This was really good. Not as good as Deja vu though. Still can’t believe I didn’t give that a 5.
Lots of great songs that I knew. 5 stars
Solid album all around. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is a classic. Gets a little monotonous as the album trods along.
A classic country rock album with some great tunes.
I listen to tracks from this album every week. It’s so good I can’t find the words to describe it. Listen to it. Then do it again. Once more. Ok now repeat that. Yeah. You get the idea. Maybe it’s the superb three part vocal harmony. Or the hypnotic finger style guitar. Or the poetic and deep imagery in the lyrics. Or the…wait…let me listen again to be sure. Yeah. That’s it.
Pure uncut harmony; good stuff.
It was fine
It good. Was familiar with the C&S&N sound already , and this album pretty much sounded exactly as I expected. Not my favorite, but didn’t hate it
Enjoyed the harmony and lack of Neil Young.
Pretty solid. They all worked well and meshed together. It could be a 4 but I don’t know
I was expecting this to be a solid 4 for me but I think this deserves a 5. The harmonies are just so, so good. Not only do the vocals sound incredible but so does the instruments as well. The lyrics are great as well have depth and tell stories. I really, really liked this album a lot I would totally listen to it again. It’s a great vibe and such a pleasure to listen to.
really enjoyed this. guitar & tempos were nice and harmonies are fantastic. understand why this album is on the list (as opposed to SO many others)
Strong opening track and overall debut album for a fairly well known rock group that I don't claim to be familiar with. I don't know why, but CSN was just never a group I was exposed to. Could be that they're way before my time, but even then I tend to lean towards older rock music thanks to my dad or whatever is featured in pop culture via the way of video games and movies. There's some good folk rock here, and each member harmonizes very well with each other. Super reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, but these guys certainly weren't nobodies in the rock industry at the time. Easy recommendation for those looking for something lighter in a sea of psychedelic and hard rock from the late 60s.
One former Byrds + one former Buffalo Springfield + one former Hollies = the late sixties/early seventies folk-rock version of "Avengers Assemble!". Stephen Stills is the star of the show, either Iron Man or Captain America, through iconic opener "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", bucolic and insanely catchy folk cut "You Don't Have To Cry" with its incredible guitar harmonics (so subtly and slyly added to the main riff), nice classic-rock closer "49 Bye-Byes", or the transcendent ballad "Hopelessly Hoping", whose perfect alliterations, ascending chords and soaring vocal harmonies beautifully convey the pains and heartbreak experienced by a lovelorn soul. David Crosby is like a Thor versed in delicate pagan pleasures through more complex, less immediate compositions in the vein of his solo record *If I Could Only Remember My Name*--chiaroscuro cuts named "Guinnevere" and "Long Time Gone", which only yield their off-kilter charms during subsequent listens. Crosby's songwriting chops often make him go through strange little detours, and as such, he acts as a counterpoint to Stills, often favoring clearer and more straightforward lines. Yet the union of the two sixties rock superheroes for the writing of "Wooden Ships", as instantly striking as it is sophisticated on a conceptual level, sure uses the best of the two talents in one single shot. As for Graham Nash, he is the Hawkeye of the story, sometimes going astray in all-too-quaint, sentimental meanderings... but when he hits the mark, as on sensual barebones acoustic number "Lady Of The Island" or country-boogie single "Marrakesh Express", whose patchouli scents are obviously covering far less *legal* smells, it's a clean sweep. Whiffs of the Summer Of Love and Flower Power abound in the record, even if that time period is already viewed through a melancholic, nostalgic lens, which makes the overall themes of the lyrics relatable to this day. And the trademark vocal harmonies are stellar, that's a given at this point. Truly, they're the "Avengers assemble!" moment here, the money shot, automatically warranting a slot for the supergroup debut on this list. 4.5/5 for the purposes of this list, rounded up to 5. 9.5/10 for more general purposes (5+4.5) Number of albums left to review: 98 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 389 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 227 Albums from the list I certainly won't include in mine: 286 --------------------- Addendum: Wondering if drummer Dallas Taylor, ominously watching us with a sour look on his face through the window of that derelict house's door in the rear of the album cover, could fill the shoes of Loki or even Thanos... Whatever the case may be, the story didn't end there. In a second phase, another former Buffalo Springfield would join the team for *Avengers 2: Déjà Vu*, which easily beats *Age Of Ultron* out of the park. I was too busy that day to write a proper review when the app suggested this record to me a couple of years ago. So here is the draft of a few notes about the highlights from that subsequent and equally "essential" record, just in case I might need them later on... For *Déjà Vu", the addition of Neil Young to the cast, like a Spiderman shooting his inescapable strings of raw feelings everywhere in sight, sure threatened to throw a shade over Stephen Stills' leading figure--first through timeless ballad "Helpless", probably one of Young's most distinctive compositions, but also through the less known and yet incredible "Country Girl", with its relentless, climactic build-up. That being said, Crosby, Stills and Nash each have at least one moment where they shine as brightly as Young in *Déjà Vu*, whether it's enticing opener "Carry On" for the first, topical and rowdy "Almost Cut My Hair for the second (unless it's the near-psychedelic title-track), or touching and instantly memorable novelty cut "Our House" for the third--where the fine line between excessive naivety and the convincing expression of domestic happiness is probably straddled more gracefully than on "Teach Your Children", another Nash cut with notoriously quaint flavours. But the money shot here, what unites the whole supergroup into one single transcendent effort--including drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Greg Reeves--is "Woodstock". That syncopated "rock" cover of Joni Mitchell's elegiac folk tune about the famous music festival even manages to equal the original, as vastly different as the latter sounds. And this is no small feat here. Speaking of comparisons, whether warranted or not, I am sad to point out that there won't be the equivalent of *Infinity War/Endgame* in CSN(Y)'s career, quite unfortunately. The only real "infinity war" audiences witnessed after the release of *Déjà Vu* was the constant bickering of those endearing (yet also hopelessly grumpy) granpas of Anglo-American classic rock. More like *Captain America: Civil War* taking place in a nursing home, to be honest. But I guess that's a story for another time, kiddies... Rest in peace, David Crosby.
I'm little over 200 albums in and there's already been a LOT of 60/70ies folk rock that I, in fact, did not necessarily need to hear, but I'm truly grateful to this project for introducing me to 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. Or solidifying a hunch that I should like it, not just this album but in general music David Crosby had a hand in, it seems [See also: → The Byrds]. Beautiful stuff. I love this.
I remember immediately liking Suite: Judy Blue Eyes upon first hearing it. I can't entirely explain why I liked it. It has a sound that screams hippie to me, especially with all the different sections and instruments and languages. But I had never listened to this album as a whole. Of course Teach Your Children is a beautiful song too, but I discovered some other amazing tracks for the first time. Wooden Ships and Helplessly Hoping are also amazing. CS&N had something and even 55! years later it still resonates with people. They were ahead of their time. What beauty Cuba brings me, The queen of the caribbean Sea, There’s no blood in the sun or sky. Oh, how sad I cannot go. Oh go, oh go, go.
CSNY have been one of the highlights of this journey so far. Deja Vu hit me like a truck a few months ago and was the first record that went from 0 to vinyl in my collection. This first album is also excellent but doesn't quite hit the highs of deja Vu. Beautiful songs and melodies, with every track just burying with ideas and quality. Its missing some of the soaring guitars of Cut your Hair and Neil Young's grit in the pearl
Great album, knew and really like about half of the tracks on it. The rest are equally good. Nearly gets 5 stars.
Alternates between grating and boring. Not good.
I have nothing to say about this
A very nice and smooth listen - the album fits with a quiet evening
Western-ahh hippie band.
This is so beautiful. An absolutely flawless record. We listened to it so much in my house growing up that for a number of years I could not listen to them anymore. But I got around to recognize this as the brilliant collection of songs, voices, atmospheres, landscapes, emotions.
Easily a 5. The first two tracks, “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” and “Marrakesh Express”, are the greatest songs. These two tracks easily give the album 5.
bit long but easy to listen to
Overall a good listen. I would say 3 keepers on this whole album. The rest is fades into the background. 3.5/5
It's good
It's got some classics on it, and it's a pretty good listen.
Easy listening, aber man merkt das Alter schon. 3/5
Just a bit bland.
This album was a delight. Reminded me of Simon & Garfunkle. Lots of great harmonies and beautiful music. A little too slow at times and its definitely an album you'd listen to in a relaxed state of mind. Lyrics were great. I miss real lyrical talent in mainstream artists. I think that may be one of my biggest disconnects from modern popular artists
Near perfect album
I was excited for this because I have been enjoying the Stephen Stills albums on the list and some Graham Nash songs recently but this was somehow forgettable outside of the doo doo doo doo do, do do doo doo. 2.5 stars
More CS&N. Some decent songs on here; Judy Blue Eyes (especially segment 4) is the best, Wooden Ships also good. But Marrakesh Express is pretty grating, and much of the rest is a little forgettable.
It was alright, helplessly hoping is a wonderful song and the guitar work was phenomenal throughout BUT it wasnt really my jam
It's really good, it's really well done, but it would be so much better if there were one more guy in the group. Favorites are Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Pre-Road Downs, and Long Time Gone
This one is very much a mixed bag for me. The songs that hit really hit but the ones that don’t are forgettable. Favorites were Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Pre-Road Downs, and Helplessly Hoping.
If this generator has taught me anything so far, it’s that I was born to be a Neil Young fan. He was the saving grace on Déjà Vu – which is still a mediocre record overall. Now, without him on Crosby, Stills & Nash, I find CSN to be nearly unbearable, and certainly forgettable. The best songs on here are, in my opinion, “Guinnevere” and “Long Time Gone.” Which makes sense, because I like David Crosby, and I like his era of The Byrds. But gun to my head, I don’t think I could hum the melody of either song. To be fair, apparently, Crosby himself couldn’t even recognize “Guinnevere.” Those are just the songs that I didn’t either hate or not give a single shit about. Most of this album went in one ear, and went out the other. It is blander then bland. I think it’s decent enough where I can’t fully hate it, but this is a nothing album to me. It has no defining features, nothing unique, nothing interesting about it, nothing that makes it timeless. Its heights are still forgettable. When your best material is only good because it’s not as bad as the material around it, you don’t have a classic album on your hands. Boomer white bread. That’s all this record is, and frankly, all CSN may be. Neil Young, if you can hear me, please, save us. We need you. Or at least, CSN needs you.
Enjoyable, soft, older sounding than I would have thought haha.
I just enjoyed it that's my note
Building on their predecessors, while still sounding unique. Original writing and thoughtful lyrics that aren’t too far out there, but certainly aren’t boring. Vocals and harmonies are beautiful. A perfect length, doesn’t overstay its welcome. Progressive production. A solid number of hits, though they aren’t as mainstream as they could/should? be. I can’t find anything wrong. It’s a truly lovely album. 5/5
Wonderful.
4.5
Didn't realize they sounded this much like the beatles.
Did not expect to enjoy this one nearly as much as I did, but any pleasant surprise is a good one. Sugary harmonies and excellent vocal melodies backed with great guitar playing. I can see this one growing on me even more in the future.
The highs are really high on this one while the songs I have not heard are forgettable. Still a 4.
A very plain and uninspired album. Ok songs. 2.4/5=> 2/5
Amazing album. I loved every second of it.
solid album. had good moments and variety but not really outstanding
Great album, classic hippie music.
I'm a big fan of The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel, so you would think this would be up my alley, but this album sounded a bit samey from track to track for my tastes. Apparently there were iconic hits, but none of the tracks really grabbed me. It appears that all of their songs that I enjoy are on other albums in their career, particularly those with Neil Young, which is weird because I typically don't enjoy Neil Young's solo career. Great harmonizing but I found the songs boring pretty quickly. I'd rather just listen to another Simon & Garfunkel album. If I had to a pick a track I might want to listen to again, I guess "Marrakesh Express" was okay.
So many great songs (Suite Judy..., Teach your children, Marrakesh Express and a cover of Everybody's Talking) with arguably the best harmonies this side of the Beatles.
I came to a conclusion today. When looking at how everything had progressed up until that point in history, 1969 really seems like the year where everything we now know modern music to be came together and started actually formulating. I’m not trying to say nothing interesting was going on before this time period. But it is remarkable how many genre and industry defining albums released in those 12 months. Just to name them off, King Crimson and Nick Drake both released their debuts. Led Zeppelin put out their first two records. In a Silent Way, Abbey Road, Hot Buttered Soul, Let It Bleed, Karma, The Velvet Underground self-titled, Hot Rats, and Neil Young’s first album with Crazy Horse. Mind blowing. And along with these, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash came together to record their debut as Crosby, Stills & Nash. I thoroughly enjoyed Déjà vu. But I worried that without the presence of Young, I wouldn’t enjoy this album nearly as much. It’s crazy to me that people actually think Neil Young brought the group down. I personally believe he only elevated it further. And “further” is the key word there. Because thankfully, this album doesn’t falter in the slightest from what made Déjà vu so amazing. This is just as good. This is still a collective of some of the strongest songwriters of the 60s. And their voices just fit together and harmonize so perfectly. It’s been a little while since I heard the album with Young, so my memory may be a little foggy, but I don’t recall it sounding as psychedelic as this does. That style, combined with the early blues sound makes this equally as important to the history of electric folk rock music. I’m so glad I liked this as much as I did. Because it would hurt me to low ball such a talented group of men just because one guy happens to not be present. Unfortunately, I’m too much of a Neil Young fanboy to help myself. Rating: 8/10
Many classic rock radio staples on here but I never heard the entire record until now. Not a fan - these tunes were part of what to me as an 80s teen felt like boomer nostalgia crowding out and overwhelming our youth culture - but respect the work and its influence. My favorite song was Pre-road Downs, largely because of the eminently humorous contrast of the lyrics with Stills' solo hit less than a year later, Love the one you're with. Both rely on gloves to make their points, too: - Felt forsaken, you'll awaken To the joys of livin' hand in glove And then I will lend you my will And your days will be filled with love Pre-road Downs was then convincing their "old ladies" to remain celibate while the band is out in the road for a year, and Love the one you're with is the tale from the road - and possibly very same tour - where the band is like fuck it, I can't wait that long: -Well there's a rose in the fisted glove And the eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love honey Love the one you're with But back to CSN, and their very practical advice, which proved valuable to so many 70s kids: Don't run, the time approaches Hotels and midnight coaches Be sure to hide the roaches
When this opened with "Judy blue eyes" right out of the gate, I kind of figured this was *the* big album for them, especially since it also has other radio-classics like "Helplessly hoping" and "Long time gone" (and to some degree "Wooden ships"). I was disappointed that the album had a lot of forgettable tunes, though; I guess "Marrakesh express" was a single from this album, but I'd never heard it before, and didn't really enjoy it, and the same could be said for at least half of the album (for me), although I did enjoy "You don't have to cry" and "Pre-road downs" for the first time. (The latter made me think of the Eagles, though.) I've always felt like they were kind of limited style-wise, even with adding Neil Young, in part because their harmonies are so distinctive and ever-present (certainly on this album). When I hear them on the radio, I always feel like you're about to come across a Renaissance festival of some sort. But regardless, they've made their mark on American music, and this album is a big part of that.
love this album. I think Deja Vu might be my favorite album of theirs but this one is still a classic.
They are basically what Beatles would have sounded like with American passports.
Some of my dad's favourites on here including the opening number and the closing number which I thought would be bigger. Need to finish a song or two.
Absolutely essential listening! When folks talk about the great americana bands, Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young) are at the top of that list. Socially relevant, melodic, and superb harmony!
A CLASSOC
Their voices harmonise really well.
I don’t understand the hype about these guys. This is back ground music at its best, which is what it was to day.
Been trying amd althogh music is good and easy listening I jist camt feel they are great. Just am above average band. Everyone should listen once and then move on the better stuff
a rare instance where despite my positive feelings about the quality technical ability of the album, im still mostly bored by it
Chill
3/5
Simply nice. Really nice.
I like CSN in general. This was a pleasant listen, but only Teach Your Children stood out. It also could have been shorter. CSNY was the better group
Suite:Judy Blue Eyes went all over and I got over it the last couple minutes. What is the start on Marrakesh Express? The song has elements that remind me of Simon & Garfunkel. Overall not as standout to me even if I like the elements. 2.5
Outstanding debut and fantastic vocal harmonies! Great stuff!
Rating: 5/10 Meh.
Top in its class.
Folk rock for the white granddad - boring at times, but tracks like 'Marrakesh Express" and "49 Bye-Byes" keep things going.
This supergroup debut contains some of the greatest folk songs ever recorded with some of my favorite vocal harmonies to go along with them. They really do suit each other unbelievably well.
Pretty anodyne and flat. I was expecting to like this a lot more than I actually did. A couple of tracks I was familiar with, and a lot more that sounded similar but not catching.
Nice group from the 60s I didn't know about
Older kids had copies of this when I was at school. I'd only really heard Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Nice album.
I hadn't listened to CSN before (that I can recall) but have certainly heard of them. I was probably most impressed with the vocal harmonies. Some of the guitar parts reminded me of some from the Grateful Dead.
So 60s. But somehow nice. And somehow so typical. Not great but is a good listening.
In many songs, the instruments and background chorus were louder than the vocals, making the songs hard to understand.
Classic folk album that was one of a few to change the course of popular music in it's time and spawn the singer songwriter. Spectacular harmonies and well crafted songs throughout. Several songs that were hits and others that have risen to to level of well loved deservedly.
Nice songs lovely harmonies. A bit boring on first listen some ok tunes plus I didn't know they sang everybody's talkin. Was hoping for a little more 6/10
Excellent album from an excellent trio!
"Oh, the harmonies" says the main review. Those harmonies wear thin pretty quickly
One of my all time fav albums
Solid album and pleasurable to listen to the whole thing through.
Day177 - the first two songs are all time classics and i really enjoyed “long time gone”
I don’t think they needed Young if I’m honest. This was rather enjoyable and less whiny.
It’s perfect
Cmon boyssss. Helplessly hoping and guinnevere remain king for me, but this album is beautiful. Do think my listening on the tram may have messed with some of my perception of the songs (since the mix is sort of quiet) but that’s alright.
I'm not a CSN fan and actually prefer Neil Young to all of them, but this has got to be their best record. Good listening
An all time classic in the folk world. Proof that there is survival after Young.
Good folk hippy music
I enjoyed Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Chiller vibes
Great folky, classic rock song. Never knew this band but their stuff sounds great and the lead has a good range.
this album is pretty good but it's not helping the case of the '60s-80s classic rock-esque album' the guy who made this list was suffering from
I cannot tell the difference of this band with or without Neil Young. I cannot tell one album from another. And I cannot really distinguish one song from another. Still the one song that they have written and perform 6000 variations of is pleasant enough. But as far as I am concerned, if you have heard Crosby stills and Nash album, you have heard them all.
I don’t think I like C’s songwriting as much as I like S and N’s. Strong album with a dud or two.
Jamais entendu auparavant. Belles harmonies vocales, mais je trouve l'accompagnement assez ennuyeux.
2,5
Sigh....
Super weird. Some strange lyrics in some songs. Really wanted to like it, but many were same soundy. Nothing really stood out, but not averse to it. One of the better ones.
It's folk rock so I struggle to rate it any higher than a 3, but it was decent enough.
Nice album vibe - wanted it to tug my heartstrings more
Finally. Gave me something good.
Chadlessly Hoping
i don’t have much to say other than i really liked it
A great album with several clasic 60's songs
Primer album de folk rock que escucho sin considerar el folk progressivo. En general la escucha es amena, relajante, tranquila. Solo destaco las dos primeras canciones, al parecer Suite: Judy Blue Eyes es un tema iconico Y tambien Marrakesh. que creo que es mi favorita, corta y con un coro pegajoso. Las demas canciones se me hicieron destacadas en lo personal
I should _love_ this. I like it a lot, but it's never quite made me love it.
I've had a lot of yacht rock already (or it feels like that), and I got pretty bored.
I've heard this quite a few times, and when it showed up I immediately thought "nice, this will be an easy 4 or 5!". But I started listening to it again, and I realize it's actually not as tight as I remembered. The vocal harmonies this band makes are indeed superclass, and I really like their overall sound. 'Helplessly Hoping' stands out as one of my absolute favourites from CSN, but not much else does unfortunately. I think the album could've been cut down a bit to remove some fluff. I really want to give it a 4 star, but I feel like a very strong 3 is more reasonable.
The few songs I knew from this album "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Helplessly Hoping" are such great songs. Especially "Helplessly Hoping" has been a favourite of mine for a long time. So understandably I was pretty hyped to listen to this. Sad to say I was a bit disappointed, none of the other songs ever reached even close to the hights of the songs I knew. It felt a bit like a Simon and Garfunkel album, and while all songs were ok none did stand out to me. Still a chill album to put on! Strong 3.
Very of its time. Enjoyed it more than expected. A few good songs on there.
This starts with pastiche of hippie shit. Marrakesh Express is an invitation to make a twat of yourself in public. It then gets a little darker, a little more interesting. I still want to kick out all the accoustic bollocks and shake them up. Never trust a hippie, etc.
Pleasant, but a bit boring at times. They were improved massively when Young joined the lineup, to be honest.
This is a beautiful touching record that has wonderful vocal harmonies and interesting song ideas.
It was a nice, relaxing, and chill album. I didn't find anything super special that stood out, but it is really good to have as something playing that isn't too intrusive.
Chato demais. Não é meu tipo de música, mesmo podendo ver que são músicas boas pra quem gosta do gênero.
5.5/10
Rich guitar and vocal tones with accompanied soft and tender rythmn sections. Lovely album, I've been a fan of this album for years. I do believe despite mixed reviews Neil Young was a better addition to the group in its later years.
Alright, another group I've heard of! This is certainly an album that you could argue for inclusion on the list. The group of Crosby, Stills, and Nash is pretty well known, and with this being their debut, one could say that these three artists coming together for the first time is enough for the album to be on here. The album also deserves to be on the list because it's quite good. I think this is a pretty solid album. It's very pleasant. The singing from all three guys is nice. The writing is alright. The sound is enjoyable. I have no reason to dislike this album, and plenty of reasons to like it. This is just a great folk rock album. There's not much else to say. 4/5.
Pre-Young Crosby, Stills & Nash this album sort of puts into perspective that CSN could have stood quite well on their own. The feeling of this album without Neil Young is that it is a more true representation of the supergroup as originally intended. All of this is to say that this album is just proof that Young's part-time inclusion in hindsight did not have the impact that Mr. Young would prefer people believed it would. Mr. Young's popularity at the time certainly may have lent some star-power to the band, but when it is about the music, there really is not a remarkable difference in their evolution with and without him. This is not to say he does not deserve recognition for his contributions in subsequent releases, but it is to say that he should be the one that is grateful to have been a part of all this. Overall, this is a good album. It has great chill, and the rhythm and melodies are great for the background and certainly a trip down memory lane to get those nostalgic vibes of their era. So-called supergroups can be big on expectation and fizzle out when they do not meet them, but CSN(Y) deserves to be recognized for thirty years of working together.
Folk rock de los 70.
Ouwemannenneukmuziek Wel prima hoor
Regular
3.5 - the more times I hear it the more impressed I am with the musicianship. Overall it's still not quite my style, but this is an exercise in comparisons.
Rrr
Day 26 of listening to 1001 albums, one day at a time. I think there is a reason that Crosby, Stills & Nash never decided to do a band name, because they didn’t need to. They could stand out on their own but together they just lifted each other up. This album is perfect representation on that. It takes some influences of blues and folk to make a touching and unique piece of work. I do like knowing how influential this one album would be not just for other artist but CSN themselves and where they would from there. A great debut and pretty nice album.
Pleasant folky harmonies
Pretty easy breezy harmony laced tunes.
Too sedate
No conocía esta banda ni ninguno de los temas de este disco. Hopelessly Hoping es hermosa.
Der Beginn einer Folk Rock Aera, die Musik begleitet mich seit dem Live Album Four Way Street mit Neil Young. Alle Alben, auch die Soloalben, sind jeweils ein Stück Musikgeschichte, die mit diesem Debütalbum begann.
I know this is a critically acclaimed album but it doesn't do much for me. They have a very difinetive sound with very tight harmonies and the musicianship is good. The album starts off strong and ends pretty strong but the middle songs have me drifting off and barely paying any attention. 2- stars.
It was missing something, I think maybe it was Neil Young... yeah that was it.
A nice folky vibe. Nothing really sank its teeth into me, but it was enjoyable start to finish.
I grew up with my mom playing this album quite often! It's beautiful from start to finish!
Once upon a time, I had long hair. I'm getting flashbacks to those times while listening to this. Humour aside, I find this album evokes a sense of nostalgia or sentimentality, of simpler or more hopeful times, possibly a - incomplete - reflection of when it was recorded.
I have been spoiled by CSNY and Buffalo Springfield
i have been spoiled by csny and buffalo springfield
Einfach ein tolles Album, dass ich immer wieder gerne höre. Tolle Vocal Harmonien!! Rating: 4/5
- Tolles Album, tolle Harmonien, so viele tolle Ideen - Judy Blue Eyes ist eines der ersten Classic-Rock Lieder, an das mich erinnern kann, einfach, weil mein Vater riesen CSN-Fan war. Kam noch vor Liedern wie Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven oder Smoke On The Water. Verbinde dementsprechend extrem viel mit dem Song - Auch die anderen Tracks sind so herrlich unique und gefühlvoll. Bei mir hat jeder ein Element, welches in irgendeiner Form hängen bleibt. Seit es ein bestimmter Riff, eine Melodie oder ein Beat. 4,5/5
This album is REALLY good
Nice and comfy
The album I think about when I think about CSN.
Late 60s soft rock slog. Aside from the vocal harmonies, there's not much I enjoy about this type of music. I'm sure this album inspired so many talented artists to make music, but I don't know if the entire album holds up today. 2.5/5
glorious
✅ pleasant enough listen, nothing really grabs me and it feels like a long time to listen to the same, albeit very pleasant, vocal harmonies
Shades of freshman year in college. One of the best albums of all time, in my opinion!
I really wonder what it was like for people in 69 to hear such a dense album of hits with those harmonies as the Beatles were going away. It’s lovely. Only too familiar to get the five stars I use for the albums I come back to. They’re in heavy rotation everywhere else.
pleasant music
Stört nicht, bleibt aber auch nicht in Erinnerung
Horrible
Very Simon and Garfunkel-y, nice and chilled
Tempted to give it a 5 for Guinnevere alone, which is one of the most beautiful and haunted songs I've ever heard. Lots of great tracks on here. Missing only Neil Young to make it a 5.
So many good memories with these songs. Not happy with the alternative version of Teach Your Children, but that’s just me.
Amazing harmonies for days with this one, and I love it. Surprisingly intricate guitar work from Stills too. Strikes me as a Sunday brunch album.
Very good album. Easy listening. Classic.
Classic folk, easy listening, still on the radio today. Boring though.
The album was ok, typical CSN sound. Nothing fancy or outstanding.
All I knew going in was “Teach Your Children,” that Neil Young eventually joined the group, and that when I saw the acronym with his name included I always read it as standing for “CSI: New York.” This was cool. Amazing, Simon and Garfunkel-esque harmonies. Great songwriting. Amazing backing band and instrumentation. My one issue with it is that all the songs have generally the same tone, same vibe, same feeling that they start to blend together at a certain point. Which is unfortunate because they’re very much worth listening to. I did not know they were considered a super group, but I’m not surprised. This was fun but nothing I’m going to be yearning to come back to. 3 stars. Standout tracks: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Pre-Road Downs, Wooden Ships, Everybody’s Talkin’, Teach Your Children
My favorite permutation so far, probably
I have a controversial opinion as I really found the harmonies annoying. No doubt they are technically brilliant but the only word I have for this album is bland. Just not my cup of tea
Perfectly pleasant, perfectly forgettable. Perhaps I don't really understand the significance, all I can think of is that Simon and Garfunkel did this better. Songs very samey. Not keeping any for a playlist.
Ik vind het wel mooie muziek maar tegelijkertijd komt het niet helemaal bij me binnen. Ik denk dat ik dit net te oud vind, net iets te hippy, boomerrock. Wat mij betreft, en ik denk dat dat een beetje vloeken in de kerk is, wordt er teveel samenzang gebruikt. Met name de eerste helft van het album, in elk couplet, elk refrein (zo lijkt het). Wat mij betreft mocht de gitaar wat meer ruimte krijgen en de zang wat minder. In "Wooden Ships" doen ze dit wel goed en dat is mede daarom denk ik mijn favoriete nummer van het album. Ik denk dat het niet helpt dat ik heel recent nog Eagles (en Big Star) heb gehad, die voor mij een beetje in hetzelfde hoekje zitten. Daardoor heb ik iets meer last van verveling dan terecht is. Alsof je in 3 dagen achter elkaar vissticks, kibbeling en een lekkerbekje eet. Al met al gewoon 3 sterren.
A good debut album, with some memorable songs and some not so memorable songs.
Ornate at times but with the harmonies CSN is known for. A classic debut with wonderful songs.
It blows my mind every time I hear a debut album with this many big songs. There is no denying how good this band is. Few bands could harmonize like CSN. It’s just a question of whether or not you like this style of music.
It's just too hippy dippy for me , no bite.
Laid back, folky album with strong vocal harmonies that I always enjoy. I could just imagine lying on the grass at Woodstock and having the serene sounds of CSN floating over me, it really took me away to another place while I was listening. Also enjoyed their cover of Everybody's Talkin' from the bonus tracks
I really enjoyed this album. The vocal harmonies were beautiful and instrumentals complemented the vocals well. Beautiful!
This is mellow, pleasant, tasteful music that I don't go wild for.. but never want to switch the channel. The harmonies alone are like waves of euphoria washing over you. Glad I got this out of the record shelf again to better get to know more than just the hits. If you ever want to hear Japan's answer to CSN, check out "Garo".
Beautiful harmonies and (usually) melodies in a much simpler and more focused album than Deja Vu. It’s hippie music but damn if I don’t like a lot of hippie music. Best song: Judy Blue Eyes
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes 3 Marrakesh Express 3.2 Guinnevere 2.8 You Don't Have to Cry 3 Pre-Road Downs 3.3 Wooden Ships 3.6 Lady of the Island 3 Helplessly Hoping 3 Long Time Gone 3.4 49 Bye-Byes 3.3 Score: 3.16
some of the best harmonizing ever. I usually go for Deja Vu when I listen to them but this album is solid as well.
A breakout for some supergroupers, a harbinger of bringing folk into rock, some classic songs. Wooden Ships.
Classic
Open guitar tunings, 3 part harmony, and a few bricks of Moroccan hash.
This is just good classic folksy rock
Could’ve been higher but they don’t have the right version of teach your children on there
Yeah, they sing in great harmony and at times it sounds almost classical. Which is exactly why I can appreciate others liking it - but me, not so much, despite the psychedelic elements thrown in.
2/5. A relaxing and expressive folk album that loses feeling more often than not. The intertwining vocals is definitely the highlight here with songs creating a chorus of sound despite only being three singers. There is some good songwriting but some are just not very enjoyable to listen to. I would say I like a little less than half of this album but of the songs I do like, very memorable and well-written songs. Otherwise, wholly forgettable and boring. Could have been better, not a well-aged album. Best Song: Suite, Wooden Ships, Lady of the Island
Tämähän oli varsin hyvä vaikken superkokoonpanojen suurin ystävä olekaan. 4/5
Hyvää rockia, mutta ehkei ihan nelosen arvoista. 3/5
Hittibiisin ulkopuolellakin ihan solid 60-luvun kitaralevy.
Bloody pleasant. They should consider getting another singer/songwriter though - feels like CSN is missing something a bit grittier...
Good album
this album was pretty good! i really like me some relaxing rock to soothe the soul. there's a few ballads and a few songs that just rock you till you're nice and buried in your chair. i feel like i'm on a boat. maybe that's why they call it yacht rock?
A folk rock super group debut that is super.
largely beautiful folk rock. Long Time Gone strays into bluesy electric guitar and is the albums only real miss for me. CS&N and their skill with harmony plays perfect foil to the unharmonious nature of Cream - Disreali Gears from last week. Marrakesh Express, Guinnevere, Lady of the Island, Helplessly Hoping, and 49 Byes-Byes are highlights. The backing vocals on 49 Byes-Byes' chorus play with the lead vocals in such a joyous way, all of the many melodies make this one of the great soft rock tracks ever. Helpless Hoping takes such a simple melody and works it up through harmony and layering into something captivating. Guinnevere is a hypnotic acoustic track, recalling (in my mind) a kind of medieval, bardic love song ("She shall be free-eee-eee-eee"). This has all the trappings of the Beatles or Beach Boys but much more traditional and folky than pop/rock. Truly pleasant to listen to.
Breezy breezy
Really nice blended vocals. A bit on the lighter side, but pleasant.
I actually really liked this one. Beautiful harmonies! Not quite a 5 for me but really, really enjoyable. And oldie but a goodie :)
i really enjoyed this! it was like some peter paul and mary, simon and garfunkel, and even a bit of Yes combined into one pleasant album of top notch harmonies and beautiful acoustic guitar. i wonder what this would've have felt like to bring home from the record store and listen to for the first time with friends, sounds nice :) favorites: judy blue eyes, marrakesh express, guinnevere, wooden ships, helplessly hoping
Correcto.
Non ascoltato tutto ma nulla di particolare, abbastanza brutte le linee vocali
The harmonies
Pleasant. 3.7
Perfect harmonies. Nice calm relaxing folky rock
maybe its just not my thing or maybe the mood is not right but I just do not really enjoy this album
Great album, I feel the back half isn’t as strong as the front though
Crosby, Stills & Nash with some well-known songs.
Great folk/pop/rock album. The guitar playing really stands out as well as the layered vocal melodies which really adds to the stellar production value of this album. There are more upbeat songs like Marrakesh Express and then also beautiful slower songs like Guinnevere and Helplessly Hoping. Overall, a really fantastic folk album. Standout tracks: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Guinnevere, Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping, Long Time Gone
Nice enough
I like this about as much as I enjoy them with Young included, which is to say, not terribly much. They sound lovely, but the songs are quite boring and run on and on into each other. The album ends up feeling much longer than it is. Sonically inoffensive.
Genuinely enjoyed some of the songs and added them to my rotation. Other than that it wasn’t special.
Perfectly good stuff
Good old CSN! I knew some of these but most were new to me. This is the kind of late '60s / early '70s music I like.
boring, yawning
Great harmony pretty cool vibe. Makes me want to go bang some hairy muff burgered hippie broads
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (3 parts)
Not sure this will be a regular listen. But, this was the first time I’ve listened to the complete album.
Quite good. Particularly enjoyed Judy Blue Eyes, 49 Bye-Byes, and Do for the Others.
Super chill, really enjoyed. Mostly sounds the same with a few exceptions (Marrakesh Express, Long Time Gone). I'm always surprised when they are categorized as Rock when I mostly associate them with Folk. I get that folk-rock is a thing, or was for a moment. Listened to the original tracks, not the 2006 bonus tracks (Everybody's Talkin', Teach Your Children, etc).
we are what we are
i have this on vinyl. a vibe for sure
bomb
CSN puts together some good music. Their harmonies really set them apart. A very strong debut album.
Nice, easy listening. Simple and efficient and enjoyable.
Pretty epic for a debut indeed. Dreamy melancholic folk music. Faves: Helplessly Hoping, Long Time Gone
This is why I'm doing the project alright - I know the names, but don't think I've ever listened to any (oh, one time in 2013 it seems) and it's good to plug that hole in my knowledge of the boomer canon! This is very much my bag - got all the stuff I like about late 60s rock, and infused it with some mellow folkiness. Yeah. Oh, and this is the origin of "Wooden Ships!?" I'd always assumed that was a Jefferson Airplane original! Huh - wikipedia tells me it's more complicated than that - hah! 😆 I have a slight preference for the more chilled tracks over the poppier upbeat ones, but the poppier ones still have undeniable charm. Fave tracks - "Guinnevere", "You Don't Have to Cry", and especially especially "Helplessly Hoping"
Folk rock de los 70.
I know very little about them - know the music, not the song titles. Reminds me of lake minear or other summer family outings
pleasant and when the voices sing together they are in perfect harmony but I am just not interested after a minute or two. Probably am missing the brains cell that are needed to appreciate this fully. Bit the same when I hear e.g. Simon&Garfunkel 3 stars.
Well aware of it. Impossible for me not to sing along with. One of the greatest.
Easy 4/5 for this prolific super group of three absurdly talented musicians. Very easy to listen to.
Sounds about a million years old; doesn't need the "bonus" tracks / outtakes; pleasant enough but doesn't really move me; great voices, decent songs, slightly lazy production (as can sometimes be the case with self-produced records)
I looooove the grooviness of this album. A combination of natural sounding acoustic guitars with electric give a folksy yet modern style. The harmonies feel inventive even in this day. They give the music room to breathe, providing both instrumental and vocal melodies. Another thing I enjoy is the variety even within the album, changing up tempos and sounds worlds but still maintaining cohesion throughout. Great stuff!
company in campania
Pretty damn good 60s folk music. 4/5 Biggest surprise was Guinnevere
Przyjemne, very moody. Przypomina mi The Beach Boys. Myślę że 4
first listen. nice , pleasant to the ear, will probably come back to it to pick some songs for my 60s playlist
For the most part, I was fairly unimpressed by this classic band. At times it’s beautiful, the harmonies on Helplessly Hoping are incredible, as are they in other spots on the album. It requires more listens. It’s a good album, I’m not sure it’s great. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is a good summary of the album, the last 30-45 secs are great and world famous. The first 6 mins kinda drone 6.8/10
One banger does not forgive this dullest.
crosby, stills & nash
Great album. Nice harmonies. The Beatles influence is evident from the first minute. Definitely a product of its time but the record holds up very well. I guess that makes it timeless. I particularly liked the first song, as well as Wooden Ships and Long Time Gone. I also enjoyed the Creedence vibes on Everybody's Talking.
I found this album to be pretty typical of the genre and time period. Pretty good background music, but I probably would not go looking to listen to this album again. I did think they were going too hard with the harmonised dos and dums, and then near the end of the album they hit me with a song that was entirely harmonised dos and dums. I felt like I was being punked.
After listening to this I had to think back to their second album and wonder what happened in between. Why was Deja Vu so musically interesting and this debut so..... dull? Case in point: Teach Your Children appears on both albums but the 1970 version is so much better. Was it the addition of Neil Young? Did these musicians all just happen to hone their craft between 1969 and 1970? Did the friction and personal events among the members pave the way for something great, a la Fleetwood Mac's Rumours? Did they decide, 'you know what, screw straight up folk rock!' when the decade turned? More reading is probably necessary for me to find out, but the truth remains that this is a lackluster album. It fits very well into the box of folk rock, rendering it mostly uninteresting save for Pre-Road Downs and Long Time Gone. Anyone could have made this record, which isn't the best sign when you're an actual supergroup.
Solid. Really like a couple songs but the rest kind of blend together for me.
Yeah, I can see the impact of this album with its tight reedy harmonies and popular musicianship of the day. It’s classic folk-rock. I’m just not the kind of folk it rocks.
Love the sound.
Such a peaceful listen. Some fantastic songs and a very unique style.
hoessly hoping- one person, too alone, three together, for eachother. Judy Blue Eyes. Teach Your Children.
Best song: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Vibes: Innocent roadtrip with girlfriend Themes: Love, family,
It's too wanky and floaty for me. I don't like the singing or the approach. All too comfortable and soft and harmless, and painfully earnest. It's so long man, and so utterly dull. Such a slog.
Classic, awesome harmonies, great song writing, easy five stars
Very solid album! Love the harmonies, especially on Helplessly Hoping.
solid background tunes
Its okay
Nice chill folk music, but completely forgettable.
Album 377 of 1001 Crosby, Stills & Nash - Crosby, Stills & Nash Rating : 4.5 / 5 From memory, I expected this to be a perfect one, but just misses for me. The newer releases of this album contains 'Teach Your Children', which would certainly help boost it but that was not on the original release. Makes me want to listed to CSNY. Certainly some classic songs and is a classic album, no doubt.
As a young Hip Hop, Jazz, and Hypnotic Rock lover, this album pretty much served as my intro to folk rock. To say the least, it thoroughly exceeded my expectations, and I will be listening to more of this music in the future. Favorite Tracks: Teach Your Children, Wooden Ships, and Lady of the Island
The comments on YouTube made me cry.
