Coming up next, the evolution of one of the most legendary groups ever through their greatest songs…and we have all three principles here to tell the story of their sound and its impact on the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Crosby, Stills, and Nash. SO many great stories here in our Evolution series. Including their first album that blew up radio with harmonies that moved the soul, including the Suite: Judy Blue Eyes about a torrid love affair that’s break up was so painful the singer can’t even say the famous woman’s name and then there was the vinyl cover where the photographer set the band members up in the wrong order while sitting on a couch in front of a house…They were supposed to correspond with the group name that would appear above them on the album.. No big deal, he said, we’ll just go back after the weekend and re-shoot the cover shot. Problem is that when they went back to the house, and couch was gone… over the weekend, it had been demolished! And then there was the guy who bet band member Graham Nash 500 bucks he could write a song in a few minutes… Not only did he win the bet, but the tune Just a Song Before I Go became the famous group’s biggest hit. It’s an all-star episode… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

It’s time for another episode of our series Evolution. On this show, we tell the story of a band or artist’s career through 5 defining tracks. These may not be their most popular songs, and they may not even be my personal favorites. But each one will showcase the evolution of their sound and artistic direction. And for today’s episode, we’re going the have the multiplatinum rock hall of fame group Crosby, Still and Nash take us through the evolution of their sound and their group with all three members… the late David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash.
The supergroup forever known as CROSBY STILLS AND NASH, or CSN for short, was formed in 1968 shortly after Crosby, Stills, and Nash performed together informally, discovering they harmonized perfectly. David Crosby had been asked to leave the Byrds in late 1967, Stephen Stills' band was a supergroup in their own right. Buffalo Springfield had broken up in early 1968, and Graham Nash left the Hollies in December. Atlantic signed them in 1969, and they soon performed at Woodstock. Which brings us to our first evolution pick. Coming in at #5 from their first self-titled album, it’s the classic song Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Now, as we go into this one, I have to preface it by saying there is a special guest in there along with Crosby, Stills, and Nash with a crazy story about the album cover… It’s the actual photographer, Henry Diltz, who took the legendary shot…
After Several hits from their first record and a #6 showing on the charts, CSN added Neil Young for their second album, Deja Vu, and it was actually credited to CSNY, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Now they were a quartet supergroup, and it added even more firepower to their message... Released in March 1970, it topped the Billboard 200 chart for 1 week and had 3 big hits: "Woodstock", "Our House”, and my next evolution pick coming in at #4, it’s the Nash penned
