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"

Sep 19, 2011, 11:30am Listen Before You Buy

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 [...]

Jefferson Airplane - 2400 Fulton Street

Aug 23, 2011, 3:06am The Ripple Effect

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 [...]

No Nukes Concert: 2011 Style

Jun 20, 2011, 3:11pm Hidden Track

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, Nash & Young (Jimmy Fallon) Cover "Party In The USA"

May 26, 2011, 4:19pm Stereogum

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:

Neil Young tribute concert to be released on DVD

Apr 14, 2011, 11:22am Consequence Of Sound

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 [...]

PT: Fleet Foxes Have Helplessness Blues

Apr 4, 2011, 12:58pm Hidden Track

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 [...]

My Listening Hours: March

Mar 28, 2011, 9:03am Pretty Goes with Pretty

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 [...]

Crosby, Stills and Nash Part Ways With Rick Rubin, Columbia

Filed under: News , New Music Don't hold your breath for that long-awaited Rick Rubin -produced Crosby, Stills and Nash album. A planned album of cover songs on Columbia Records has apparently been scrapped. "We have amicably parted ways with both Rick Rubin and Columbia," the band said in an official statement. According to the Daily Express , insiders suggest the band had grown restless waiting for Rubin to complete other projects, including Kid Rock's new [...]

Judy Collins and Stephen Stills Sing About Their Failed Relationship -- MP3

Dec 3, 2010, 9:46pm Spinner.com

Filed under: News , Holy Hell , New Music When independently successful folk singers Stephen Stills and Judy Collins broke up in 1969, like any failed relationship, they probably didn't want constant reminders of what once was. But Stills blew that one when he wrote 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,' and -- arguably -- formed Crosby Stills and Nash to record and perform it. The song, written during their union, laments its inevitable [...]

Legends of the Canyon: The Music and Magic of 1960s Laurel Canyon DVD Review

Oct 23, 2010, 9:06pm BrooklynRocks: NYC Music Blog

Legends of the Canyon: The Music and Magic of 1960s Laurel Canyon uses musician/photographer Henry Diltz's candid photos as backdrop to tell the story of the genesis of the Laurel Canyon/West Coast rock scene. The filmmakers' premise is that the aftermath of JFK's assassination drove the youth culture to embrace The Beatles and that The Beatles energized the West Coast folk scene to go electric. Henry Diltz narrates the story which starts with the formation of The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield and ends with the Manson Family killings. Intermixed in narrative are photos and live [...]

The Souther Hillman Furay Band

Oct 20, 2010, 1:11pm Fusion 45

I'm in the middle of three music books right now: The Rock Snob's Dictionary and Lost In The Grooves are great books to drop in on when you have a few minutes waiting in the grocery line. The Mansion on the Hill by Fred Goodman requires a bit more concentration. It's Goodman's perspective on how rock and roll went from being a product of the underground to simply being a product, largely through work and personalities of three people: Albert Grossman, Jon Landau and David Geffen. David Geffen [...]

Eat to the Beat: The Hood Internet's Taco Blends

Sep 9, 2010, 3:31pm Uncensored Interview Blog

Like the devil and God, everyone seems to have a different name for tacos: Rich people may call them blinis, foodiots at Mandarin Chinese restaurants may refer to them as pancakes and my mom claims they're frybread, but really? They're all tacos. And there's room enough in the world (and my stomach) for every variety, size and hue, though tacos that have recently met and fallen in love with a large vat of hot oil will always get my chops smacking first. Apparently, Steve and Aaron from The Hood [...]

Crosby, Stills & Nash cover Beatles and Dylan on upcoming LP

Sep 6, 2010, 11:30am Consequence Of Sound

We've said it before, but we commend older musicians like the Pink Floyds of the world for still making music and pleasing fans. But at this point, with Bob Dylan prepared to seemingly work until his 90s, it's hard to give Crosby, Stills & Nash any extra credit for lasting some 40-plus years. However, thanks to Billboard , we can give them credit for the seemingly amazing classic rock covers album they've got in the works. In an interview, Graham Nash said the band has been working on the [...]

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Crosby, Stills & Nash at The Air Canada Centre in Toronto

Aug 27, 2010, 8:34am Chromewaves

Frank Yang Honestly, I'd thought that Tom Petty had retired. Between the themes of he and The Heartbreakers' last studio record, 20022s The Last DJ , and the victory lap of 20062s 30th anniversary tour, I thought that he'd called it a day on active touring and my opportunities to see him perform had dried up. I don't know how or why I had that notion, but it was clearly wrong as Wednesday night, there I was at the Air Canada Centre, ready to see Mr. Petty and company for the first time [...]

Chief – "Modern Rituals" Album Review

Aug 27, 2010, 8:00am Merchants Of Rock

In the year 2010, it's pretty damn near impossible to write music that is truly unique. I think we can all agree at this stage in the game that art in general is a constant reinvention of elements and techniques scattered throughout history. It's a "modern ritual" almost, to borrow from those who've come before us. Picasso ripped off African tribal art and Zeppelin ripped off the Blues. I mean, let's be honest, you can't exactly create a new color or discover a new tone. (On this planet at least). Therefore it pretty much comes down to what you do [...]

Kassidy Say They're More Like a Family Than a Band

The band does, however, hark back to an Americana of yore and they cheerfully admit to being under the influence of pioneers such as the Band and Crosby, Stills and Nash . Indeed, like the latter, Kassidy boast a [...]
