The selections derive from the group's first four studio albums ( Crosby, Stills & Nash, Déjà Vu, CSN, Daylight Again), but nothing from their last four ( American Dream, Live It Up, After the Storm, and Looking Forward). Commonly referred to by their initials CSNY. The album was dedicated to Cass Elliot with great thanks to Neil Young.Īlthough " Our House", " Teach Your Children", and "Carry On" are on the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young album Déjà Vu, Young was not involved in those songs, allowing Greatest Hits to authentically be considered specifically a "Crosby, Stills & Nash" collection, and as such does not contain any songs featuring Young. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is a folk-rock supergroup formed when Crosby, Stills & Nash (Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby from the Byrds, and Graham Nash from the Hollies) asked Neil Young, also of Buffalo Springfield to join them in 1969 and form 'Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young'.
24 on the Billboard 200, debuting at that position on Apwith first week sales of 33,000 copies, and spending eight weeks on the chart.
A true documentary for the times.Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, released by Rhino Records in 2005. The reissue adds much welcomed tracks such as Graham Nash’s Hollies’ “King Midas in Reverse,” Stephen Stills’ “Black Queen” and Young’s “The Loner / Cinnamon Girl / Down By the River” medley.
The off-time clapping that trails “Teach Your Children” makes for a chuckle and an honest snapshot of the experience, while “Carry On” does exactly that. Neil Young, in particular, sharpens his pen and attack with “Southern Man,” “Ohio” and “Cowgirl in the Sand.” The guitar exchanges between Young and Stephen Stills have their ragged and glorious moments among the self-indulgent asides. There is undeniable musical firepower driving the album’s finest tunes. Its lack of studio perfectionism actually becomes its chief asset.
This ‘double live’ album (expanded in its 1992 edition) is a sloppy, sprawling epic with stage patter and loose jamming that dates it accordingly. CSN&Y were four distinct performers who somehow struck a tentative balance between ambition and ego to record some of the most definitive music of the hippie era.
