"A must for CSNY fans." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review The first
ever biography focused on the formative and highly influential
early years of "rock's first supergroup" (Rolling Stone) Crosby,
Stills, Nash, and Young--when they were the most successful,
influential, and politically potent band in America--in honor of
the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock and the formation of the band
itself. 1969 to 1974 were true golden years of rock n' roll,
bookmarking an era of arguably unparalleled musical power and
innovation. But even more than any of their eminent peers, David
Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young channeled and
broadcast all the radical anger, romantic idealism, and
generational angst of their time. Each of the members had already
made their marks in huge bands (The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield,
The Byrds), but together, their harmonies were transcendent. The
vast emotional range of their music, from delicate acoustic
confessionals to raucous counter-culture anthems, was mirrored in
the turbulence of their personal lives. Their trademark may have
been vocal harmony, but few--if any--of their contemporaries could
match the recklessness of their hedonistic and often combative
lifestyles, when the four tenacious, volatile, and prodigal
songwriters pursued chemical and sexual pleasure to
life-threatening extremes. Including full color photographs, CSNY
chronicles these four iconic musicians and the movement they came
to represent, concentrating on their prime as a collective unit and
a cultural force: the years between 1969, when Woodstock
telegraphed their arrival to the world, and 1974, when their
arch-enemy Richard Nixon was driven from office, and the band (to
quote Graham Nash himself) "lost it on the highway." Even fifty
years later, there are plenty of stories left to be told about
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young--and music historian Peter Doggett
is here to bring them to light in the meticulously researched CSNY,
a quintessential and illuminative account of rock's first
supergroup in their golden hour for die-hard fans, nostalgic
flower-children, and music history aficionados alike.
