Jaws dropped, knees quaked and eyes twinkled. That was the reaction, when it was announced David Crosby from the Byrds, Stephen Stills from Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash from the Hollies had formed a band together. Imagine all that talent under one roof, and as expected the guys delivered the goods above and beyond the call of duty. Spring 1969 [...]

This weeks feature comes from a pretty familiar band to our website. Dawes is back today with the release of their third album Stories Don't End and I have to say I am pretty happy with what I am hearing. While Dawes has been quite consistent through their four year existence in terms of sound, they play it to their advantage. Stories Don't End sounds like something that Crosby, Stills, and Nash might have written and at points I get a hint of Bruce Springsteen from frontman Taylor Goldsmith , all great artists to be emulating. This [...]
Back in the early '00s, the Cold War Kids benefited in a big way from the new power of music blogs to help break bands that weren't being played on your local radio station. While in retrospect the press was both a blessing and a curse, it did help the soul-punk act get instant audiences when they headed out on tour. The Long Beach-based band will release their fourth studio album, Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, on April 2 via Downtown Records, and have given fans an advance taste of what's to come via the lead single [...]
If Eagles fans felt a certain familiarity about the soaring guitar heard last Sunday on Showtime's "Homeland" series, here's why: The November 11, 2012 episode featured the lead single from former guitarist Don Felder's new solo project, "Fall from the Grace of Love." Felder, a four-time Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, best-selling author and key contributor to [...]
Crosby Stills and Nash will wrap of their 80-concert world tour next month with a gala performance of their debut album in its entirety at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The seminal supergroup was formed when David Crosby (the Byrds), Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield) and Graham Nash (the Hollies) got together for an informal 1968 jam at the [...]

Paul McCartney, at age 70, is a textbook example of how old guys can still rock. It used to be very true that rock and roll was not made by old people. "Old" used to mean people over age 30. So what happened? Bob Dylan (age 71) just released Tempest to glowing reviews - it should appear on the upper reaches of the Billboard album charts in a few days, but probably not at No. 1. Paul McCartney (age 70) is currently performing close to three-hour sets on his "On [...]
With a proposed album of covers with Crosby Stills and Nash now scuttled, never-ending delays with ZZ Top's new project, and similar mishaps with Slipnot and Muse, the question becomes: Has Rick Rubin, once a sure-fire producer, lost his touch? After co-founding Def Jam Records - where he helped popularize hip hop with acts like the Beastie Boys, LL Cool [...]
Rick Rubin has a well-earned rep for reviving the careers of aging legends like Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond. But Crosby, Stills & Nash will not be adding their names to Rubin's list of accomplishments anytime soon. Because those guys hate the shit out of Rubin. Read More...

Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Slaven Vlasic, Getty Images It was only a matter of time until the Occupy movement spawned an album. Now the 99 percent can get fired up with 'Occupy This Album,' an environmentally-friendly digital release featuring musical heavyweights like Crosby and Nash , Devo , Lucinda Williams , Yo La Tengo , Toots and the Maytals and Third Eye [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Yukon Blonde – “Fire”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3730896_lg.jpg)
Tweet An ideal festival song, "Fire" has that perfect sunset slot sound with its harmonic vocals (think Crosby Stills and Nash) with complimentary slide guitar/harmonica that does everything possible to get us in the right mood for a promising night. Their new Fire/Water EP is due out on October 11 through Dine Alone Records and looks to prove once more how Canadians find a way to strip music down to the essentials and deliver all that could be hoped for [...]
Tuesday I will be attending San Francisco Giants’ “Grateful Dead Night” at AT&T Park. Deadhead friends are flying in from all over California. They will get together and talk of concerts, sporting events, life experiences and shared adventures. I say this apologetically, especially when I am with them, I was never a big fan of the Grateful Dead. Yes, I was an usher for their legendary 14 shows at the Warfield Theatre in 1980 but, that was solely a starving law school student’s little perk through the Placement Office. It is not that I dislike [...]
One of the biggest series of concerts in the late '70s took place in September of 1979 when a group called Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) rocked Madison Square Garden in NYC for five nights. Musicians taking part in those No Nukes performances included MUSE founders Jackson Browne; Crosby, Stills and Nash; Bonnie Raitt; John Hall and Sweet Honey in the Rock. The concerts were held to bring attention to the safe use of nuclear energy and each of those acts will come together once again, along with a few new performers, on August 7 at Shoreline [...]
Crosby, Stills & Nash - "Our House" MP3/download As you may or may not know, I like to sprinkle my precious audio Grove with stories about everyday topics to, you know, keep it REAL. Normally I reserve these posts for topics ... Continue reading
One of Fallon's best recurring bits tops itself in the best way imaginable (until Jimmy has on Neil Himself): Here David Crosby and Graham Nash, the real versions of these men, provide their vintage harmonic prowess to Fallon-as-Young's rearrangement of Miley Cyrus's "Party In The USA." That is as much and as little as you need to know before pressing play:
You may remember back in early 2010 when Neil Young was named MusiCares’ Person of the Year . There was a tribute concert, pretty much every awesome guest they could nab packed the building, and any rock 'n' roll lived on. While the high ticket price may have kept you away, you're in luck now, some 14-15 months later. On May 31st, Shout! Factory will release A MusiCares Tribute to Neil Young on DVD and Blu-ray. According to JamBase , the release will feature top names across a dozen genres performing the songs of [...]
Back in 2008 the Fleet Foxes helped usher in the beard rock movement with a pair of releases that owed an equal debt to bands such as Crosby, Stills & Nash as to acts like Fairport Convention. After relentlessly touring behind the unexpected runaway success of their full-length debut , the band's schedule finally settled down long enough for them to head into the studio last year to start work on their sophomore LP. Recorded at studios on both coasts, including several in their hometown of Seattle, WA, the long-awaited results will finally be heard when [...]

After spending January and February trying really hard to keep up with all the new releases and the surrounding conversation, I apparently rejected that approach in March, with exactly zero 2011 releases acquired this month. It's actually been a nice palate cleanser, for the most part. Here's a recap of what I picked up, in chronological order. Next week I'll have a quarterly roundup highlighting, specifically, my favorite acquisitions (new and old) of the last three months. Harry Belafonte: Calypso Possibly my favorite acquisition of the year so far. This [...]
