Release date: 07-05-2007 (originally released in 1971)

2010 issue UK 9-track digitally remastered LP pressed on 180gram Heavyweight Vinyl - Released in 1971, David Crosby's solo debut was a unique, eclectic, and wilfully expansive album. Musically the album has an exploratory, almost jazzy feel, with its bright production cloaking the listener in acoustic strains and lush, layered harmonies, and sees the cream of early-70s California rock assembled, with the various celebrities joiningtogether in an organic, collective approach that's embodied in the opener, the free-spirited jam of 'Music Is Love'. Sealed in orignal artwork sleeve.

Tracks:
01. Music Is Love
02. Cowboy Movie
03. Tamalpais High (At About 3)
04. Laughing
05. What Are Their Names
06. Traction In The Rain
07. Song With No Words (Tree With No Leaves)
08. Orleans
09. I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here

Thanks to his much-publicized personal travails, it's easy to overlook the multiple talents that originally made Crosby a star in his days with The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash. This, his first solo effort, was recorded in 1971 (following Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Deja Vu) and contains some of his most impressive vocal and songwriting work, including the haunting "Laughing," the mantra-like "Music Is Love," and the extended, impressionistic "Cowboy Movie." With guest appearances by such famous friends as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, and Jerry Garcia, it's a fascinating chapter in an always-interesting career that's all too often been overshadowed by headlines. --Scott Schinder
