Just picked of David Crosby's first solo album released in 1971. Check out the track listing; what a dream band. I highly recommend it. The Dead's sound is definately imprinted on this album. Most striking on this album is how Phil's sound, technique, and tone has not changed much at all in 40 years; the other's too, but Phil really stands out. The GD personnel supported most all of CSN solo projects in the early days. And of course most famous is Jerry's Pedal Steel on CSNY's Teach Your Children.

Yeah I definitely dig this album, the Dead influence is there overwhelmingly. I especially like Cowboy Movie (the vocals are incredible and jerry's lead lines are piercing). It's really cool also to listen to the 1975 practice sessions where Crosby and keyboardist Ned Lagin jammed with the guys.

Excellent tip KC! Why don't I have this album already?
Just listened to that You-tube clip.....Goodness Friggin Gracious!!
Is that the track from this "Can't Remember My Name" album, or was that a separate live cut from something else?

Had both of these albums since the mid 70s. 'Blows' is interesting and 'the pump song' is an early version of 'Greatest Story Ever Told' but the Crosby album has remained high in my favorites for all these years. "Laughing is a beautiful song, "Cowboy movie' rocks and 'I thought there was somebody there' is an amazing vocal trip. Highly recomended!
This album transends the S.F. music scene since people like Joni Mitchell and Stills and Young were more the L.A. scene.
