Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young cover

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, with their distinct vocal harmonies, blending of rock, jazz, folk, and blues, and political and social activism, have remained one of the most enduring musical acts of the 1960s. This book examines their songs and themes, which continue to resonate with contemporary listeners, and argues that Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young reflect part of the broader story of American culture. This appreciative volume contextualizes their work within the political climate of the late 1960s, and makes the case that the values and concerns expressed in their music thread through the American experience today.

“This appreciative study deftly contextualizes their work within the political climate of the late 1960s...An inherently fascinating, impressively informative, exceptionally well organized and presented study.”—Midwest Book Review
“Readers are invited to journey back in time to the band’s genesis and travel the decades with them to the present. For a first-hand look at the long and successful years by one of the most influential Rock bands in the world Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s 50-Year Quest delivers.”—Boyce McClain’s Collectors’ Corner.
