Summary: this record kicks serious butt!
Comment: I just recently obtained copies of both this title and deja vu. For the best possible listening experience, burn both albums on one cdr (both fit on an 80 minute cd), then sit back and enjoy! I especially like to play this on my drive to work, my lunch break, and sometimes again on the drive home. I have been familiar w the So Far album for many years since i first bought it on cassette at a used record store back in the nineties. 'so far' was my initiation to their music. Now, many years later, I score a copy of their debut and the whole thing just rocks.
1. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes -great song. a little played out on fm radio. loved this cut when i heard it on 'so far' cassette
2. Marrakesh Express -my favourite cut on the album. it was supposedly a song nash wrote for the hollies but they rejected it. it sounds kind of paul simonish (and i like paul simon's music a lot too)
3. Guinnevere - cool mellow song. have to be in the mood for it sometimes.
4. You Don't Have To Cry -i love this song. awesome harmonies. makes me wonder why the heck i waited so long to get this album.
5. Pre-Road Downs -another cool gem. cool backwards guitar.
6. Wooden Ships -another tune i was already acquainted with via 'so far' cassette. cool, but i have to be in the mood for it
7. Lady Of The Island -really nice song by nash. very mellow acoustic love song.
8. Helplessly Hoping- another song i really love. especially after watching CSN's acoustic dvd from '91.
9. Lone Time Gone -cool track by Crosby. one of the better rock tracks with great guitar and harmonies
10. 49 Bye-Byes - like this song. used to skip it at first but it definitely grows on you

Summary: Delightful
Comment: Hugely influencial folk/rock/country/harmony pop album of some brilliance. Still affecting new creations like Triumph Unseen by Nick Worrall or the new Fleet Foxes releases in a more or less direct way this album deserves its place in the catalogue of greats. Melodic, moody, creative and very harmonious it soothes and excites at the same time. Unforgettable.

Summary: Crosby Stills & Nash
Comment: Crosby, Stills & Nash
This Group had the best harmony of any Pop Grop of the 60s and 70s era.
I Still like to listen to this group 35 years later.

Summary: crosby stills and nash are in top form
Comment: Crosby, Stills and Nash were a very successful soft/folk rock band in the late 60's and early 70's. A band that mainly focused on the vocals that easily had their own distinct sound and style compared to other singers back then. Artists like Seals and Crofts would go on to imitate that vocal style, and while I love them as well, there's nothing like the original Crosby, Stills and Nash lineup with their big classic album in the early days.
They are now considered an important part in the development of soft rock, and while the more mellow songs are quite tasty and rich, they can hold their own with the electric guitar too. We can't forget they were a band created during a time that saw more experimentation than the world was probably ready for. Rock and roll was all over the place, in terms of creativity and diversity.
I like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield more (and of course Neil Young's solo career) but we can't deny the beauty and excellent songwriting of this album. We just can't deny it.

As much as any record, CSN's 1969 debut ushered in the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. Yes, this was a group, but it was one made up of three coequal composer/vocalists, each with a heady resume--Crosby an ex- Byrd, Stills in Buffalo Springfield, and Nash a former member of the Hollies. Each supplied distinctive material and contributed to CSN's trademark harmonies. The addition of Neil Young made the supergroup an edgier outfit. There's a purity to the original trio recording, however, that would never be recaptured. --Steven Stolder
