Description

Crosby, Stills & Nash is the debut studio album by the folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash(CSN), released in 1969 by Atlantic Records. It is the only release by the band prior to adding Neil Young to their lineup. The album spawned two Top 40 singles, “Marrakesh Express” and “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes“, which peaked respectively at No. 28 the week of August 23, 1969.

The album was a very strong debut for the band, instantly lifting them to stardom. Along with the ByrdsSweetheart of the Rodeo and the Band‘s Music from Big Pink of the previous year, it helped initiate a sea change in popular music away from the ruling late-1960s aesthetic of bands playing blues-based rock music on loud guitars. Crosby, Stills & Nash presented a new wrinkle in building upon rock’s roots, using folk, blues, and even jazz without specifically sounding like mere duplication. Not only blending voices, the three meshed their differing strengths, David Crosby for social commentary and atmospheric mood pieces, Stephen Stills for his diverse musical skills and for folding folk and country elements subtly into complex rock structures, and Graham Nash for his radio-friendly pop melodies, to create an amalgam of broad appeal. The album features some of their best known songs, including “Helplessly Hoping“, “Long Time Gone”, “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes“, and “Wooden Ships“, a collaboration between Crosby and Stills as well as Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane.
