Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

The Profile

American folk-rock supergroup formed by David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash in 1968; joined by Neil Young in 1969. Celebrated for intricate vocal harmonies, politically charged material like Ohio, a storied Woodstock appearance, and landmarks such as Déjà vu and the live Four Way Street.

Key moments highlighted in our reviews: the rapid recording and rush release of Ohio after the Kent State shootings (1970); the Woodstock-era aura captured on Déjà vu (1970); the historic 1970 tour documented on Four Way Street; the uneven reunion album American Dream (1988); the reflective return Looking Forward (1999); and the politically driven Freedom Of Speech Tour (2006) documented on Déjà Vu Live.

DeBaser’s CSNY coverage spotlights the political urgency of Ohio, the canonical glow of Déjà vu, and the historical weight of Four Way Street. Later chapters surface too: the uneven American Dream, a warm return with Looking Forward, and the polemical 2006 Freedom Of Speech Tour captured on Déjà Vu Live. Expect harmonies, West Coast textures, and guitars that still argue back.
