[@RGRG3232]

To me, "Wooden Ships" would be a good choice for the next one to hear.

[@johncagnettajr344]

Rob Gray so many different recordings of Wooden Ships. Would be good to hear all of them.

[@ithaliem]

@@johncagnettajr344 CSN studio version of WS would do just fine 👍

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

A comparison between theirs and Jefferson Airplane's versions would be a cool exercise.

[@joanbounacos8958]

Imagine the day Stephen Stills walked in with his guitar and played this all the way through for Crosby and Nash. "Hey, I wrote something. Wanna hear it?" I'm sure they had to pick their jaws up off the floor. 😁

[@ithaliem]

Comparing Woodstock by Joni Mitchell and CSNY-version would also be cool.

[@diogenesagogo]

Guinevere. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

The best song David Crosby ever wrote.

[@CharCanuck14]

When they get to the word "harbor" I still get chills. Beautiful!

[@tlm8436]

I walked down the isle in my wedding to this song.

[@courtneywallace871]

How about Marrakech Express?

[@jeffmartin1026]

For alliteration give a listen to Helplessly Hoping. I saw CS&N several times over the years and they were just as on point live as in the studio. Being at a show with the audience singing along to 'Do-do-do..." was always a fun time. Then again a lot of their songs turned into sing-a-longs at their shows.

[@rogerfortner1133]

Helplessly Hoping has some of the greatest harmony ever!

[@michaelkolb5900]

Hey Justin My Man!! Wow!! There you go sir!! Mix it up here with one of the GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!! I just love seeing your appreciating smile while watching you!! That's when we all know we're in for a good one!! This brings back great memories of harmonizing with my 3 sisters to this wonderful song!! I love how you described it as going over to your parents house after you've already moved out!! I can relate totally to playing music for my 2 boys when they were young in the early 90s!! Getting ready right now to drive up north for a short road trip up to Jerome AZ! It's a really old copper mining ghost town from the 1800s! It's a 2 HR drive from my home in Phoenix!! So I grabbed a couple of CDs-Crosby,Stills&Nash So Far and THE DIXIE CHICKS TOP OF THE WORLD!! You should definitely hit that one up soon!!! AMAZING HARMONIES AND SONGS ON THIS ONE!!! I have the live DVD too!! Just Amazing!! So a couple of my CSN&Y FAVS ARE- THE LEE SHORE - Off of their live albumn 4 WAY STREET and Guinnevere off of So Far!! So I went to the comments out of curiosity because there's a cover band that does this song and it's AMAZING! Didn't see anyone mention them but I strongly suggest you watch it tonight and let me know what you think!! Their called- FOXES AND FOSSILS!!!! They do a bunch of great songs but SUITE JUDY BLUE EYES IS probably their best!!!! See you tomorrow sir!! Gotta get ready to go now!! I'm hungry!!! Your #1 AZ FAN MICHAEL😽😽😊😊

[@BigMacIain]

The song Wooden Ships was written by David Crosby and Paul Katner. CSN and Jefferson Airplane both recorded versions of it. A comparison of the two would make an interesting reaction video.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Stills co-wrote it, too. Kantner went uncredited for years, but finally got it eventually.

[@1nelsondj]

Stills sings lead since it's his song, Nash sings the high parts and Crosby sings in between them, he can be hard to pick out in the harmonies but if he wasn't there you'd miss him. They're very different personalities from different parts of the globe: Stills was a military brat, born in Dallas, lived in Louisiana, Florida, Panama, Costa Rica. Nash is from Blackpool in England and Crosby is from California, his dad is an award winning cinematographer. Best CSNY song is 'Helpless' by Neil Young but 'Deja Vu' by Crosby is a close second, great feel to it.

[@sylvainmclean1307]

Another great song from a great band of that era discoverin the band about 20 years ago and still appreciate all their songs

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Beautiful, legendary song by C, S & N.

[@thomasmcintosh390]

I first heard this song at a Christmas party in 1970 with some school friends along with the rest of the album. I first heard Santana's Soul Sacrifice while passed out on the floor. We were taking turns squeezing each other while holding our breath until we passed out. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I met my future ex wife at that party. I saw Crosby, Nash and Raymond Pevar (Crosby's son) play in Nashville in the 90's. Bernie Leadon sat in on pedal steel for Teach Your Children. A song that is MY CS&N suggestion. Always a pleasure, still watching for I Cheat the Hangman, God Bless.

[@joemaurone7923]

How does this song make me feel? The music always made me feel good, especially at the end. But as many times as I've heard this song, a classic rock radio staple, I never paid much attention to the meaning of the lyrics. There's a lot of songs like that, for me, so many of these videos, despite having heard the song a million times, become "first reactions" in the process. This beats hearing it for the millionteenth time on the radio, a new layer is added.

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

This song is like an old comfortable sweater,always in the closet ready to warm me up. Hope your Grandmother is well-Peace.

[@marysweeney7370]

Almost Cut my Hair ( extended version) CSNY . One of the seminal songs of the era! Today, with the anything goes lifestyles and fashion, it is instructive to take a listen to this song and contemplate what a big deal it was to grow one's hair as a male, and by the end of the 60's have long hair in the hippy-style. I love Crosby's singing with passion about almost cutting his hair and giving in to the "man".

[@anthonyblakely399]

CSNY knew you would love it......This group are among the gods of Folk Rock!!! Excellent musicians!!! And Famous for their vocal like Three Dog Night.....We knew you would like it!!!

[@graflex74]

Every song on the record is a masterwork

[@jonathansmith3742]

Decades of listening to this. Decades more to come. I have seen CSN in concert a couple of times, in the 80s and 00s. I like the album CSN, Fair Game, Dark Star, Just a song before I go. Killer Trio. I am grateful for the listening pleasure I get from them.

[@sammybeck7794]

Guinevere, Helplessly Hoping or Wooden Ships are three other beautiful songs by them that you would love

[@Fuphyter]

Good Morning Justin. There is a local band here who play this perfectly. This was written to Judy Collins. She is a singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice. CSNY Album Deja Vu is one of my fav albums.

[@MilosDaddy]

Great composition by Stephen Stills. The harmonies are amazing.

[@johnlisonbee6494]

What a fabulous song! I remember it well from my childhood! Growing up with this music was fantastic! They were great in concert back in the day!

[@halfdome86]

Nash is the high voice. Listen to the rest of this brilliant album. Crosby and Nash play guitars mostly on their own tunes. Stills plays everything else (except maybe drums). They added Young to play guitar on their tour since they needed other musicians to play parts Stephen played on the album.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Dallas Taylor played drums on their first 2 albums (that's him looking out the door on the first album's back cover, and him on the far right in the photo on _Déjà Vu_ 's album cover).

[@justinmontoya3550]

Just A Song Before I Go is another good one. Short, but good.

[@theplanetruth]

Nash was at the airport about to board a plane and he was having a conversation with someone and that person did not believe that he was a part of CSN. So he challenged Nash to write a song before he left. Hence, just a song before I go…

[@Veggamattic]

"This is perfect Sunday afternoon music" I have said these exact words in the past.

[@RadCenter]

I recommend "Marrakesh Express," "Teach Your Children Well," "Wasted on the Way," and "Woodstock."

[@-davidolivares]

Really dig mixture of folk, rock, Indian, and Latin motifs. Steven is a genius.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Ok - my No.1 fave song of all time. Stephen Stills plays just about everything on this track (actually, everything) and Nash & Crosby fill in the lush harmonies. Stills is a huge influence on me. When I was 15 I stated quite boldly that "I wanted to be able to sing and play like Stephen Stills" - now at 56 I can tell you honestly, that I have failed beautifully. Cheers.

[@spongo]

When you are an amazing songwriter and great singer, people forget what a damn good guitarist you are.

[@Drummingvulture]

Yep, Stills was in a relationship with Judy Collins at this time, and Nash was involved with Joni Mitchell. He wrote "Our House" about about it. It was a typical southern California scene, with a lot of "cross pollination" going on between so many different artists and bands. So much fantastic music came out of this scene. It was a wonderful time to be alive. Hope you continue to explore CSN(Y). There's a lot to discover. Great reaction. I'm glad you didn't go too nuts on a musical analysis. For such a long tune, there really isn't much to pick apart, music-wise. Most of it is layed out for you right from the start. Each of the three (four) play guitar in concert. Often Nash and/or Crosby will just sing, whether lead or harmony. Nash also plays piano (check out "Cathedral").

[@jamessweet5341]

Judy had just broken up with Stills and this was his plea for her to come back. Didn't work, but we still got the great music. Judy was probably the most beautiful singer in the world, face AND voice.

[@shanna9650]

There's a really good 2 pt documentary on that whole scene called Laurel Canyon that aired on Epix in March..

[@Drummingvulture]

@@shanna9650: Yeah, I don't have Epix, but I saw commercials for it and am hoping sometime, somewhere to see it. It got great reviews.

[@framon82]

Guinnevere, from the same album, to me is one of the most beautiful and well crafted songs ever - definitely worth a listen!

[@edford1693]

Check out "Southern Cross" sometime as well.

[@johncagnettajr344]

This is what you get when you have 3 singer / songwriters in the same band. From the same album : Long Time Gone by David Crosby and Helplessly Hoping by Graham Nash.

[@shanna9650]

Helplessly Hoping is by Stephen Stills. Stills likes aliteration.

[@johncagnettajr344]

Shanna Hudson-Stowe u are correct😀 Nash wrote Teach Your Children

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Every song on the album is great. Terrific harmony on Helplessly Hoping and Guinnevere.

[@glenndespres5317]

What’s not to love about that song? A true suite. Just one of a kind. So good!

[@TmRnBn]

Have you stepped back a step to Buffalo Springfield's first LP? Several great songs to pick from in the Springfield repertoire, the primary is, of course, 'For What it's Worth' but Bluebird, Mr. Soul, and a half dozen others are well worth it..

[@justaguy2365]

They performed this for the first time at Woodstock. They had been a band for maybe a week

[@recyclerhopkins]

Justin, CSN had three lead vocalists and since all 3 were gifted songwriters, whoever wrote the song would take lead vocals. CSN&Y were the same way with Young taking the lead on his songs. Stills did play almost all the instruments on this song as he did on most of this album. When Neil Young was added they had 2 great guitarists. As most would agree from begining to end this album is great, a classic. Their next studio album 1977's CSN is also worth checking out with 12 excellent songs including Just A Song Before I Go (Nash) that could be considered a hit and was played on the radio a lot.

[@damonramirez]

"Like visiting your parents after you moved out." Yeah!!

[@thewarmthofthesun1]

This album is among my top five albums of all time. It's fantastic and timeless.

[@johnramsell8078]

Yes, classic song, stunning harmonies. Those three guys coming together was very organic, all three very talented songwriters/musicians from their previous bands. Stills was the musical leader, on many songs he will play multiple instruments, even on songs that Crosby and Nash wrote. This album is mentioned as one of the benchmarks that spawned the early 70’s singer/songwriter and California rock scenes

[@michaellaporte4951]

David Crosby and Graham Nash both played acoustic guitar too and sometimes piano, but Stephen Stills was by far the strongest player amongst them, so he usually played most of the instruments on their studio work.

[@schuylersouthwell2554]

As many have pointed out, written about and for Judy Collins. She had started seeing Stacy "Mike Hammer" Keach, and this was Stills' reaction. Gave me chills when I first heard those harmonies oh so many decades ago. Nash and Joni Mitchell's relationship spawned 'Our House', about their place in Laurel Canyon. In the documentary "Remember My Name", Crosby drives up to THE house and talks about this. There are also a couple of Laurel Canyon documentaries that fill in the back stories of these songs and the cross-pollination of the 'canyon' artists from Jackson Brown to Frank Zappa : "Laurel Canyon" ( a short documentary series) and "Echo in the Canyon". Highly recommend to understand how everyone was influencing everyone else.

[@davidschecter5247]

Stephen Stills was a GREAT acoustic guitarist, and the composition (more like a short song cycle) is one of the greatest long-songs of the entire pop-rock era.

[@daneng3641]

I have fond memories of singing this (badly) with friends in college, trying to harmonize. Such a fantastic song!

[@Biofilmz]

parts of this give me chills. "chestnut brown canary.... thrill me to the marrow..." Also like Marrakech Express

[@mcolford]

I love this song... the vocals, the instrumentation, it's a pretty cool song.

[@tommathews3964]

Musically speaking, they all played guitar, with Stills, and later Young, doing the primary leads. Nash also plays a lot of keys. As far as harmonies go, Nash is the high harmony, Stills in the middle and Crosby on the bottom. Each member writes and sings lead on their own songs, such as Nash on Marrakesh Express, and Crosby on Guinevere, and so on. Once you get around to investigating their side projects and solo efforts, which I highly recommend, you will get a better feel for it. There was no lead singer, so to speak, they all sang lead, often on the same song. Absolute virtuosos each! Please do yourself a favor and listen thoroughly, and intently, to the entire Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Deva Vu, Four Way Street (Live) and CSN albums. There are later albums, and all have their moments, but this core work is among the best music recorded, in my opinion! CSN(Y) music is like your favorite old sweater, comfortable, warm, familiar, and never lets you down! PS: you should also check out Judy Collins! You will understand the "chestnut brown canary" and "ruby throated sparrow" lyrics a lot better. Beautiful, powerful, voice! Interestingly, Stills and Collins have recorded and album together (2018 I think) actually played some limited tour dates.

[@matsjakobsson1376]

Good, but their best: Wooden ships! Stephen Stills is great on guitar!

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Mmmm...other way round. Wooden Ships lyrically is stuck in a specific time (or summer). Southern Cross, Helplessly Hoping and more are better songs. IMO of course. But hey, not a bad song in the bunch so I guess go with it. lol

[@RTSOB1]

The story is...(Graham) Nash had left the Hollies over their refusal to record his Marrakesh Express (later recorded by CS&N) and was visiting David Crosby at his home in Hawaii. He listened to Crosby and Stills working on the harmonies of a particular song that they were having trouble with. He suggested they go through it again and then a third time. And then, on the next take, he joined in with a high harmony that left them stunned. And thus, Crosby, Stills and Nash, with their distinctive harmonies, was born.

[@DrakusRecords]

Love this song. To answer your question they all played instruments (mainly guitar) at various points in the band, but on some songs (like this one) it was simplified to one guitarist. This song was written by Stephen Stills and he pretty much took the lead on it with the other guys singing harmony.

[@JustJP]

Perfect, ty!

[@DavidB-2268]

My mom, who's name was Judy, and had blue eyes, loved this song.

[@JustJP]

Perfectly fitting!

[@Stuman57]

It’s fitting that you mention perfect Sunday afternoon music. On our classic rock station Here in Toronto we had , up until recently, what was known as Psychedelic Sunday. Every Sunday. I think from 10am -6pm. This kind of music would be played. Basically all the music you review. Every Sunday all day literally for decades. I think it was the longest continuing radio show ever. google psychedelic Sunday. So you hit the nail on the head really.

[@JustJP]

Sounds like my kind of afternoon showA

[@stevebinning977]

Guinevere is a really beautiful song by CS&N. The live version is the one I am most familiar with.

[@markspooner1224]

Great! Thanks Justin, just what the doctor ordered. This is my favourite song of theirs. On the original double LP of the music from Woodstock there was just the end of de de de de... which was very frustrating to say the least. The picture on the album cover should have been CSN instead of NSC, when they saw it was wrong they went back the next day but that house was demolished so they used the photo anyway. Great review too!

[@dixiechatty958]

Both this and Carry On were written by Steven Stills. His is the lead vocal. They switched that up. Usually whoever wrote the song took the lead vocal. Other good songs of theirs written by others are Wooden Ships, Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, Long Time Gone and Our House. All great stuff.

[@williamallen3715]

Almost cut my hair.....carry on....long time gone. Song you should consider. Your awesome, thanks for reviewing so much great and relevant music

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

If you want to see the band, and be blown away, look up “Tom Jones Crosby Stills Nash and Young” for a live version of Long Time Gone. Yes, Tom Jones. :D It’s amazing. Crosby, Nash, and Young can’t stop smiling while Jones and Stills try to outdo each others’ vocals.

[@dandurant4845]

It's is so nice to see a young man enjoying music from my generation. Stephen Stills is the lead singer. If you'd like to hear the counter culture anthem, give a listen to Almost Cut My Hair from the Deja Vu album. Joni's Woodstock done completely differently and debuted at Woodstock is also a great listen. Thanks again Justin!

[@DaveH111]

Very thoughtful and enjoyable reaction! I appreciate how you absorb the music before formulating your thoughts.

Definitely one of my favorite CSN songs. It has a nice pace, I love the different parts of the 'Suite', for a breakup song, it actually has a very upbeat sound.

[@maruad7577]

Great song. Great review. One of two songs I know off this album, the other being Marrakesh Express. I rode on the ME in 1974 but I was travelling in the opposite direction. Marrakesh was a magical place for a young guy off the prairies. Definitely a long way from Portage and Main (local reference for any locals who are reading). I hope life is treating you at least as well as could be expected.

[@JustJP]

Thank you Maraud, life is good, and I hope yours is too🙃

[@joelliebler5690]

One of their best and unique songs based on the relationship between Stephen and Judy Collins a world renown folk, folk rock, country plus Hall of Fame artist!👍🏻❤️☮️ You might want to try to react, Just JP, to Country Girl which Neil Young wrote and recorded on the historic Deja Vu album.

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

"I feel warm listening to this"!!! YES!! Yes, yes, yes! It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, and the best part is it gives you that same warm fuzzy feeling every time you listen to it (within reason). I absolutely loved how you kind of equated it with The Dan when it came to the "feel good" vibe. Probably no secret to you by now, Justin, but of course this is yet another song that's a regular play on my trike rides down the Florida coastline. Edit: Forgot to add the "recommended further listening": Southern Cross, See the Changes, Our House, et. al. but that oughta get you started.

[@JustJP]

This is great coastal music!🚴‍♀️

[@stretchgilbert]

The song was written for Judy Collins who Stills was obsessed with when they all lived in Laurel Canyon

[@JustJP]

Haha true!

[@stlmopoet]

Joni Mitchell wrote their song Woodstock. She did a version as well. That would be an interesting comparison. Quite different takes on the song. Great review as always. Glad you liked the song. I've known it my whole life. It's fun to see someone discover something I've enjoyed forever.

[@davidhaines6512]

This is the best listen to Judy blue eyes I've ever heard.

[@JustJP]

Well ty David!

[@bobholtzmann]

Greatest samba ending ever - nice soothing happy song. Interesting that it's about Stephen Stills' breakup with Judy Collins, who has big blue eyes. The previous year, David Crosby produced the first album by Joni Mitchell, and afterwards, Graham Nash had a love affair with Joni. Then they broke up, and Nash released an entire solo album of breakup songs - Songs For Beginners. I really like "I Used To Be A King", which has lots of references to Graham's feelings about Joni "There's Only One" is another personal favorite.

[@actorJSB]

Stills played the vast majority of the instruments on the first album (Crosby and Nash contributed somewhat more to their own songs but Stills really dominates in more ways than one) to the point that Crosby later accused him of treating him and Nash as his backing singers rather than bandmates (these guys loved to fight about everything and nothing) - it's one of the reasons they added Young to the lineup as Stills couldn't do it all live! Carry On was also almost all Stills, but most of the rest of Deja Vu (and their later output) had more of a band feel with other musicians brought in.

[@byronmitchell3784]

NOBODY, BUT NOBODY HAS THE TASTEFUL EAR PLEASING HARMONIES... CALLED THE BEATLES OF THE 70'S. THEIR MULTIPLE HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS TELLS EVERYONE EXACTLY THAT.

Stephen Stills " captain many hands" brilliant.

[@ThatsMrPencilneck2U]

The guitar makes for an impressive percussion instrument. I didn't think anybody born after 1969 could tolerate CSNY. Cat Stevens is another artist that few younger than the oldest Gen X'ers can tolerate.

Fun song that I remember my dad playing when I was 7 or so driving to get baseball cards.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Please react to "Lady Of The Island" or "Guinnevere" from this same album. "Lady..." is mostly a solo performance by Nash, with some improvised wordless singing from Crosby. The lyrics are self explanatory and might make some people blush a bit but by no means are they rude.

[@mcee8634]

Justin, Classical music? I noticed Beethoven's 5th has been reacted to (1st movement); definitely a great one. A suggestion. Brahms Symphony no. 1 (1st movement). Besides that it's another great Symphony, there's a great story behind it. Brahms grew up in the overwhelming shadow of Beethoven's shadow. He was terrified to put out his 1st Symphony. I think it took him 20 years. It was definitely at least 10 years. He did well. Ludwig would have been proud. Good review here of the CSN song. Hope you'll consider "The Yew Tree" and "The Dear Green Place" on Home Ground by Battlefield Band. Thanks, Matt

[@filetknife5916]

It flows with the very next song on the album Marrakesh Express!

[@bobdelp2023]

YES JUSTIN IT'S KINDA THE NORM FOR THESE GUYS! :) NASH PLAYS PIANO AND ORGAN STUFF, CROSBY HAS THAT HIGH PITCH VOICE AND PLAYS BACKING GUITAR AND BASS, IT'S STILLS WITH THAT WHACKY SOUNDING INSANE LEAD GUITAR. SO ANOTHER THING JUSTIN JUDY IS ( JUDY COLLINS ) JUDY COLLINS IS THE GAL THAT JONI MITCHELL GAVE ( BOTH SIDES NOW ) TO BUT SHE NEVER REALLY USED IT SO JONI STARTED TO USE IT IN THE END. LOL :) THAT'S FROM HER 2ND ALBUM ( CLOUDS ) IT'S JONI'S BIRTHDAY TODAY ( 7 NOV ) SHE'S 77 TODAY JUSTIN :)

[@palantir135]

I was in primary school when this came out but I loved it when I discovered them in my early teens; I still love them. Their voices sound so good together and even better when Neil Young joined them. The music is kept simple, partly because there was a limited array of possible sounds available I think. It all emphasizes the attention to their singing. There’s a ton of songs to choose from for eventual reactions. Just look at a live concert for well known and loved songs.

[@happilyeggs4627]

This song and "Love The One You're With" are my favourites from this album. Check out later tracks, "Southern Cross" and "Change Partners".

[@michaelkeefe8494]

Try something from Crosby's solo album, If Only I Could Remember My Name; or Stills' Manassas. These guys all made lots of good music in various configurations.

[@NotData]

All three (or four) members write songs and sing leads on a mostly equal number of tracks on their albums. It turned out that this one belonged to Stephen Stills.

Crosby does play 12-string acoustic a lot. It's mostly all Stills, yes

My vote for the next is Lee Shore. GORGEOUS.

[@realbser1956]

Harmonies everlasting. This would be a good album to do just as you’ve been doing Prog or Bowie. Song just makes you feel good even though it’s a breakup song. The music and vocals from CSN and later CSNY are timeless. 👍

[@markfeggeler3479]

There’s no way not to like this song. My favorites are Run From Tears, Might as Well Have a Good Time, and of course Southern Cross. If you enjoy their harmonies (and Pink Floyd), give On an Island by David Gilmour a try. CSN sang backup on that song.
