Crosby And Nash
Formed in 1974 by David Crosby (b. 14 August 1941, Los Angeles, California, USA) and Graham Nash(b. 2 February 1942, Blackpool, Lancashire, England), this highly successful duo was an offshoot of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young. Initially, they specialized in intimate all-acoustic shows characterized by stoned anecdotes and inspired vocals. Fresh from the concert floor, they recorded GRAHAM NASH/DAVID CROSBY which included some of their best work, most notably Nash's Immigration Man and Crosby's superb question and answer songs: Where Will I Be and Page 43. It was three years later before the CSN&Y wheel of fortune again brought together Crosby And Nash as a recording duo. After appearing on albums by Neil Young, James Taylor and Carole King they reactivated their partnership, switched from Atlantic to ABC Records and set about recording WIND ON THE WATER. Released in 1975, the album was a solid set with Crosby particularly strong on the autobiographical Carry Me and the a capella choral A Critical Mass. An extensive tour saw them using videos sanctioned by Greenpeace to highlight the plight of the whale. The following year the less successful WHISTLING DOWN THE WIREwas released and the group recorded a live album featuring an extended jazz version of Crosby's Deja Vu. A Crosby, Stills And Nashreunion was followed by solo projects and drug problems for Crosby. Following his release from jail, Crosby announced in 1989 that he and Nash were recording and planning to tour. Instead, Stills returned again, and in 1992 they were singing together, immaculately.
