A band formed in
Southern California in 1968, most often characterized by a unique vocal blend and a musical approach that ranges from
acoustic folk to melodic pop to hard rock.
Members:
David Crosby (guitar), born August 14, 1941 Los Angeles, CA; previously with The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield
Stephen Stills (guitar, keyboards, bass), born January 3, 1945 Dallas, TX; previously with Buffalo Springfield
Graham Nash (guitar), born February 2, 1942 Blackpool, United Kingdom; previously with The Hollies.
Neil Young (guitar), born November 12, 1945; previously with Buffalo Springfield, joined the group in 1969. Young won Best New Artist Grammy Award in 1969.
In my own opinion, CSN(&Y) is one of the better
folk groups that came out of the late 60s/early 70s--I highly recommend
Helplessly Hoping,
Wooden Ships,
Our House,
Daylight Again,
Wasted on the Way,
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and
Southern Cross--their
harmonies are impeccable and with or without Young, the group is one of my all-time favorites.
Sophisticated without being
dark--perfect folk/rock.
