'In what is the most comprehensive biography of the group to date,
Browne compiles a fun and fast-paced music history.... an
authoritative chronicle.' --Publishers Weekly The first and most
complete narrative biography of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, by
acclaimed music journalist and Rolling Stone senior writer David
Browne 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.
