Product Description

Crosby, Stills and Nash were already a "supergroup" before Neil Young, previously of Buffalo Springfield, joined them for this album. Indisputably one of the key albums of the immediate post-Woodstock era, Déjà vu does at times however sound a bit of a period piece. Ranging in emotion from the almost cutesy "Teach Your Children" and "Our House" to the moody, dark guitar sounds of "Almost Cut My Hair" and their version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock", it is nevertheless an important document of the time. Young, who would go on to release the excellent After The Gold Rush later in the same year, provides the best moments with "Helpless" and the "Country Girl" medley. --Tim Perry

This album has been with me virtually all my life as my father bought it when it was released.When the cd version came out I secured my own copy and it was wonderful to hear the crispness of the tracks-"Country Girl", "Everybody I love you","Carry on" being particular stand outs.
If you love to hear sweet harmony then this is the album for you-still ageless, timeless and breathtaking.

This is perhaps the turning time for the true hippie movement. Hippie is strongly associated with 60's culture, but it was a movement burning strongly at the dawn of the 70's. This album brilliantly encompasses some of the harmonic,almost easy listening styles of the period, together with a rocky/bluesy feel that was less pronounced than on CS&N LP-obviously due to the introduction of Neil Young.Our house and teach your children are songs that children could easily pick up and enjoy nowdays at playgroup sessions, while Young's Country Girl is a deep rock song that at the time brought this album gently to the 70's via 60's riffs. One of the last great hippie records, one of the first great 70's lp's

Perhaps one of the greatest follow ups of all time, 'Deja Vu' showcases all of the superstar quartet and their immeasurable talent. For all the praise heaped on Neil Young, it was Stephen Stills who was the guiding force in this period, and establishes himself nicely with the powerful '4+20' and storming opener 'Carry On.'
Yet the other members contribute their own works of art: Crosby's 'Almost Cut My Hair' still haunts (written after Bobby Kennedy's asassination) as does the time changing 'Deja Vu'; Nash's efforts are written off as twee, but 'Teach Your Children' showed he could still produce the hits, and 'Our House' is a beautiful song describing life with Joni Mitchell; while Young offers the powerful 'Country Girl Medley' and the emotional 'Helpless.' All this, plus the classic version of Mitchell's 'Woodstock' & the almighty ending of 'Everybody I Love You' showed that CSNY were the band to beat in 1970. A masterpiece.

supergroup of many parts
Managing to get four individual "stars" to function as one unit is no mean feat; the Beatles, Stones, etc. managed it but others eg Blind Faith , found it much harder. Read more

Old folks music keeps trucking along
I made a decision to listen to some of those formative albums that were such big deals in the halcyon days of the early seventies. Hence a few prog rock reviews in the mix. Read more
