Crosby, Stills & Nash CSN (Atlantic 75 Series) Hybrid Stereo SACD

• DESCRIPTION

Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!

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 megasuccessful 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."

The 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records
"75 for 75" is a series of 75 vinyl releases from Atlantic Records' storied catalog to celebrate the label's 75th Anniversary. This great label includes some of the best artists and records of all time.

CSN was the trio's last fully realized 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.
