I broadcast this show this past August- a hot, sticky August day in New York City, after having taken the bus and train to get to the radio station.
The hard candy in my pocket was melting!
It seemed like the kind of day to just play an album all the way
show more...
through.
Nothing difficult, just take a classic album from 1969, let it spin and talk a little about it.
So that’s what I did with the debut album by Crosby, Stills & Nash.
The LP blew everyone away upon its release and they became superstars.
The Players in our drama:
David Crosby, from the great and still-thriving Byrds;
Stephen Stills, from the great and dissolved Buffalo Springfield;
Graham Nash, feeling stifled with the great and to continue being great Hollies.
And to keep the feeling of playing an album, I have Side One in this chapter.
I’ll flip the album over for the forthcoming Part Two.
