``Carry Me: The Very Best Of David Crosby & Graham Nash/The ABC Years'' Highlights Recordings From the Duo's Acclaimed Mid-'70s Albums.Entertainment Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 2002 "It was soul food: as satisfying, as growth-inspiring, as envelope-pushing, as brain-stretching, and as heart-feeding as music can be. It was some of the best music we ever made." -- David Crosby With Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young recently reunited, on tour and on album once more, "Carry Me: The Very Best Of David Crosby & Graham Nash/The ABC ABC in full American Broadcasting Co. Major U.S. television network. It began when the expanding national radio network NBC split into the separate Red and Blue networks in 1928.

The pair began performing as a duo after the quartet's initial 1970 split. The Crosby-Nash duo begins as a duo. "Carry Me: The Very Best Of David Crosby & Graham Nash/The ABC Years" collects 19 selections from the Top 10-charting "Wind On The Water" (1975), Top 30 "Whistling Down The Wire" (1976) and "Crosby/Nash Live" (1977). Each recording was 96k/24-bit remastered from the original master tapes. The package's photo-filled booklet also includes liner notes by CSNY CSNY Crosby Stills Nash and Young (band) historian Steve Silberman based on interviews with Crosby and Nash. As CSNY was temporarily spun out of orbit by the gravity of four rock star-sized egos, Crosby and Nash declared their independence -- and their friendship and musical creativity thrived in their new teaming. "Wind On The Water" was their second studio album (after Atlantic's gold 1972 "Graham Nash-David Crosby"). Backed by the most in-demand session players in L.A., a group fancifully calling itself the Mighty Jitters jitters 'Butterflies' Psychology An episode of nervousness or anxiety that often precedes a public event; jitters is a type of performance anxiety which may affect actors in a stage production–stage fright or soloist musicians; it may respond to anxiolytics (multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, guitarist Danny Kortchmar, keyboardist Craig Doerge, bassists Leland Sklar and Tim Drummond, and drummer Russ Kunkel), singer-songwriter-guitarist-producers Crosby and Nash also called on guest artists Jackson Browne, Carole King and James Taylor. "Carry Me" culls that album's "Carry Me," "Mama Lion," "Bittersweet," "Take The Money And Run," "Naked In The Rain," "Love Work Out," "Homeward home·ward adv. & adj. Toward or at home. home  wards adv. Through The Haze" and two-part "To The Last Whale... (Critical Mass/Wind On The Water)." From "Whistling Down The Wire" comes "Taken At All," "Out Of The Darkness," "Spotlight," "Broken Bird," "Time After Time," "Mutiny" and "Foolish Man." A hectic touring schedule sent them, with and without the Mighty Jitters (also minus Sklar), across America and onto "Crosby/Nash Live" with its exceptional version of "Immigration immigration, entrance of a person (an alien) into a new country for the purpose of establishing permanent residence. Motives for immigration, like those for migration generally, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important. Man" and a nine-minute "Deja Vu" plus "I Used To Be King" and "Lee Shore." Crosby and Nash then rejoined Stephen Stills for the first of many reunions of CSN CSN Crosby, Stills, and Nash (band) CSN Centrala studiestödsnämnden (Swedish: state education grant and loan program) CSN Confédération des Syndicats Nationaux (French) and sometimes Y (Neil Young), again bringing with them the superb harmonies and stellar songwriting that marked their brief yet decidedly glorious tenure as a duo. |
