Re: (TV) Crosby/Byrds/Christgau



I have to side with the Crosby fans...

I agree totally, I loved that record when it came out.

Christgau is of no consequence. I've never liked anything he's had to say.
A strong statement perhaps but that the way I feel.

Crosby's "If only I could remember my name" is something of a masterpiece
in my opinion. The songs "Laughing", "Cowboy Movie" and the haunting "I'd
swear there was somebody here", about the death of his girl friend, are
among his best.

Those a cappella pieces at the end are awesome. Apart from anything else, Crosby was (and still is, I think) a fabulous singer.

I'm surprised Keith found nothing to like on the first CSN album. I always loved "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and the Crosby songs "Wooden Ships" and "Long Time Gone".
