Graham Nash mentioned he misses and appreciates David Crosby, regardless of being locked in a bitter confrontation along with his estranged former bandmate for the previous a number of years.
Nash, one-quarter of the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young supergroup, has curated a brand new compilation album that options him and Crosby singing vocal harmonies with a number of of their musical contemporaries. The album doesn’t but have a title or launch date.
“It starts with us singing on [Stephen Stills’ 1970 solo hit] ‘Love the One You’re With,’ then on Jackson Browne’s [1972 hit] ‘Doctor My Eyes’ and James Taylor’s [1975 hit] ‘Mexico,'” Nash lately advised The San Diego Union-Tribune. “It finishes off with me and David singing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’ with Carole King [in 1993] at the Universal Amphitheatre [in Los Angeles].”
The irony of that final tune alternative is palpable, as Nash and Crosby have been on unhealthy phrases since earlier than Nash introduced the top of Crosby, Stills & Nash in 2016. “You asked me if there’s more of CSN? My answer is ‘no,’ and that’s very sad because we’re pretty good,” Nash advised the Dutch journal Lust for Life. “But I don’t like David Crosby right now. He’s been awful to me these last two years, just fucking awful.” The acrimony stays, as Nash advised CBS Sunday Morning final yr, “Stephen and Neil [Young] and I are great. We talk often. We don’t talk to David.”
Still, Nash admitted he misses his previous songwriting companion. “The truth is, I do miss David,” he mentioned. “I think he’s really a great musician, totally unique, and we made a lot of really good music together in our lives.
“But, as with brothers, generally you argue and that [can wreck] your relationship. That’s what occurred to David and me. But have a look at the music we made collectively.”
Nash was quick to clarify that the new compilation album does not signal a reunion with Crosby. “This report has been within the works for about 5 years,” he said. “I put it collectively, compiled it and made an important album cowl for it. I believe anybody who hears it should say, ‘Holy shit, this actually is a superb report!'”
Crosby is also staying busy, having recently announced the release of his first-ever live album and accompanying concert DVD, David Crosby & the Lighthouse Band Live at the Capitol Theatre. The set is due out Nov. 25, and Crosby previewed it with a live rendition of “1974.”
