One of my first album purchases. And there's a vague memory that it was actually a Christmas present from my parents.
It's been awhile since I've listened to it in its original format. You can still get lucky on the radio dial and pick up random selections from the record. Most of the songs became FM-radio staples back in the early 1970's. And most of the songs appeared years later in various greatest hits or other Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young) compilations.
Their best album!! It still sounds great 45 years later. It doesn't seem possible ..... Closing in on half a century. Proud to say that I was there when the album initially came out. A teenager searching for great new sounds.
They came from The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies. From here they branched out into CSNY, Crosby & Nash, Stills and Young, Manassas and everyone doing numerous solo projects. There were more great songs to follow. Also some forgettable stuff. This first group effort is strong through-out.
From starting out listening to my parents records to staying up late at night listening to the radio to being introduced to album collecting as a teenager to making mix-tapes and into the present, it seems that I've always been searching for and listening to music of widely varied genres.
