Crosby & Still & Nash & Young

Crosby mocks himself winningly on Camera, and Nash, the old smoothie, is in fine form for "Find A Dream" and "Unequal Love." Only Stills spoils the party, trotting out the hackneyed hot licks and topical lyrics for deadweighters like "Bad Boyz."

The San Francisco Broadcast (Live)

The CSNY name carries disproportionate weight considering the quartet has produced a grand total of three studio albums and one live set over the course of three decades. Of course, the first studio LP, 1969's Deja Vu, is one of the touchstones of Woodstock-era rock. Nearly two decades passed before the foursome cut the forgettable American Dream. Unfortunately, Looking Forward owes more to the unfocused latter (not to mention CSN's unremarkable recent output) than the vital Deja Vu. It's telling that three of the four Neil Young tracks (as well as Stephen Stills's above par "Faith in Me") were produced by longtime Young confederate Ben Keith while the rest of the album is credited to CSNY. The controlling hand Young maintains on his own material pays off with two of the best numbers here--the Harvest Moon-like title track and "Slowpoke." Graham Nash fares well with characteristically melodic efforts, but Stills and David Crosby stumble on the awkwardly bellicose "Seen Enough" and "Stand and Be Counted," missteps that throw the entire set off course. 


Looking Forward

Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ("Almost Cut My Hair"? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including "Helpless," "Teach Your Children," and "Our House."
