They would go on to later include Neil Young in the mix, and in the early seventies spend many years recording solo projects as well as put out albums together. No matter what Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have individually (which is incredible), together the blend is something that is difficult to put into words.
Thirty-eight years later, this CD is still a welcome addition to the fan and casual listener alike. Whether it's the classic "Teach Your Children," or the lesser known "You Don't Have to Cry," it's all good, not just for the memories but by anyone's standards today.
Updated and current information on what Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are doing both together and as solo acts can be found at their website.

Nice one, Connie.
Such is the emotional impact of this music for anyone who was coming of age in the late '60s and early '70s, I bought the CD sometime last year as I was going through the process of replacing some *very* old vinyl, and having popped it into the CD player in my car on the way to work, was somewhat taken aback to find myself tearing up during "Teach Your Children".

Actually, I guess that was on Deja Vu (I'm thumbing through my iPod as I'm sitting here), but both of these tend to have the same effect on me. they were pretty much the musical mainstays of the day.

Thanks, Lisa, and I agree that the songs of then, especially the two you mention seem more powerful then most of what is released today.

Definitely a must have album, no matter if you grew up in the 60s/70s or not. The harmonies, songwriting and musicianship are exceptional. Could you imagine the world of music without CSN&Y?

I certainly can't imagine it without Y.
