CSNY Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Narrator Danny Campbell's hoarse baritone does little to draw the listener into this well-researched treatise on the career of the first rock supergroup, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY). The band's creativity and innovative harmonies are traced historically and thoroughly explored, as are the personalities of each of its members, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. Insightful portraits of their solo careers and group affiliations are plentiful. Experienced music history writer Peter Doggett has a highly informative style that is well documented. Sadly, the listener is still left wanting. Campbell's narration has a dated "anchorman" style that suggests a lack of genuine interest in this fascinating story of a major force of rock.
