Even in the larger-than-life world of rock and roll, it was hard to
imagine four more different men. David Crosby, the opinionated hippie
guru. Stephen Stills, the perpetually driven musician. Graham Nash, the
tactful pop craftsman. Neil Young, the creatively restless loner. But
together, few groups were as in sync with their times as Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young. Starting with the original trio's landmark 1969 debut
album, the group embodied much about its era: communal musicmaking,
protest songs that took on the establishment and Richard Nixon, and
liberal attitudes toward partners and lifestyles. Their group or
individual songs--"Wooden Ships," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "After the
Gold Rush," "For What It's Worth" (with Stills and Young's Buffalo
Springfield), "Love the One You're With," "Long Time Gone," "Just a Song
Before I Go," "Southern Cross"--became the soundtrack of a generation.
But their story would rarely be as harmonious as their legendary and
influential vocal blend. In the years that followed, these four volatile
men would continually break up, reunite, and disband again--all against
a backdrop of social and musical change, recurring disagreements and
jealousies, and self-destructive tendencies that threatened to cripple
them both as a group and as individuals.
In Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: The Wild, Definitive Saga of Rock's Greatest Supergroup, longtime music journalist and Rolling Stone
writer David Browne presents the ultimate deep dive into rock and
roll's most musical and turbulent brotherhood on the occasion of its
50th anniversary. Featuring exclusive interviews with David Crosby and
Graham Nash along with band members, colleagues, fellow superstars,
former managers, employees, and lovers-and with access to unreleased
music and documents--Browne takes readers backstage and onstage, into
the musicians' homes, recording studios, and psyches, to chronicle the
creative and psychological ties that have bound these men together--and
sometimes torn them apart. This is the sweeping story of rock's
longest-running, most dysfunctional, yet pre-eminent musical family,
delivered with the epic feel their story rightly deserves.
