David Crosby

Musician

David Crosby (1941–2023) was an American singer-songwriter and founding member of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash. He released landmark solo work (notably If I Could Only Remember My Name) and continued issuing albums late in life, often collaborating with younger musicians.

Reviewed DeBaser albums and reviews reference collaborations and guests such as Neil Young, Graham Nash, Jerry Garcia, Michael League and James Raymond; reviewers note Crosby's longtime struggles with drugs and health issues (including a liver transplant) and praise his songwriting, harmonies and West Coast sound.

DeBaser reviews portray David Crosby as a key West Coast songwriter whose solo work ranges from the 1971 classic If I Could Only Remember My Name to strong late-career albums produced with younger collaborators. Reviewers praise Crosby's songwriting, harmonies and atmospheric production while noting the wear in his later voice. Overall reception on DeBaser is favorable.

  Discover the review

 It is an album of acoustic guitars, with just a touch of piano or organ or electric in a couple of occasions. And no drums, ever!
