Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young: Deja Vu


I've heard this album several times over the past couple of years and was really taken with how strong the songs were from beginning to end. It definitely has that "folk" flavor with a country twist that was ebbing in and out of popularity in the late 60's and early 70's and it has a strong dose of "hippy" thrown in for good measure. Neil Young's guitar is great and their voices mesh together like cotton candy for your ears. Graham Nash wrote his two most iconic songs "Our House" and "Teach Your Children" and as strong as those songs are, the non-hits such as "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Deja Vu" stand right beside them in terms of strength and "enjoyability".
