From the Byrds to Crosby, Stills & Nash, here are David Crosby's best songs.
did or made in his life, the thing that he will most be remembered for, after dying at the age of 81, is that he had the voice of a bruised and haunted angel – singing alone or when paired with his friends and rivals in, Crosby, Stills and Nash or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. And that his smartly romantic, experimental songwriting and skills drove the country-tinged, folk-rock movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
Crosby’s work was, in the words of his longtime singing partner, Graham Nash, “fearless… he spoke his mind, his heart, and his passion through his beautiful music.” Even if he was singing the words and melodies of Bob Dylan or those composed with Roger McGuinn and Graham Nash, the heavenly intensity, slippery jazz influence and alternative tuning quirk was all Crosby.
Roger McGuinn may have concocted the Byrds’ ringing signature 12-string guitar sound, but it was David Crosby’s uniquely brooding vocal phrasing and full-blooded harmonies that lifted the band beyond mere Bob Dylan copyists at their start. Crosby got his first shot to shine when he took the lead on the bridge to the Byrd’s second single, Dylan’s “All I Really Want to Do,” and never moved out of the limelight.
