"Wind on the Water" was the second album that David Crosby and Graham Nash recorded together, coming after the first CSN&Y reunion tour tour (how many have there been now?). This 1975 album is on a par with their self-titled first effort, but is not quite as good as the stellar solo albums each produced during that time. Crosby and Nash always had the virtue of bringing out the best in each other and that is the case here. Their two-part harmonies work, from the opening track "Carry Me" to "Homeward Through the Haze" and "Naked in the Rain." Of course, there are also background vocals from the likes of James Taylor, Carole King and Jackson Browne, which just goes to prove the more the merrier. "Wind on the Water" is nicely bookended by the two most substantive songs in terms of the lyrics, "Carry Me" and "To The Last Whale: A. Critical Mass and B. Wind on the Water." This is just a solid little album of rich melodies and solid vocal harmonies.

An unpretentious album that grows on you the more you listen
26 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
This is a collection of melodies that really grows on you the more you listen. These songs are somewhat different from the typical CSNY fare you might have. The songs are 'soft rock' but have an almost jazzy quality sometimes. The mixing sometimes leaves a little to be desired in that volume levels aren't always consistent. But while it doesn't have the same well-polished finish that a lot of other albums have, there is a real 'honest' quality to the music. It is difficult to describe the genre, as it ranges from kinda-country to serious-rock, to a harmonic vocalization in the truly haunting title track. And a number of the songs do cover a range of social issues. If you like most of CSNY's stuff, this is a must-have!

One of the Best Post-CSNY Bands
21 Jun 1999
Format:Audio CD
"Wind on the Water" is one of David and Graham's best post-CSN efforts. It's a fine collection of songs (Carry Me, Bittersweet, and Naked in the Rain are superb) played by a tight, adventurous band who called themselves The Mighty Jitters, featuring seasoned LA session dudes like Danny Kortchmar, David Lindley and Russ Kunkel.
This record has a polish and a professionalism to it that doesn't result in slickness or an overcommercial sound -- it's ballsy music played by a band that is very relaxed and is full of ideas. A really fine album.
