January 19, 2023
Singer/songwriter/guitarist David Crosby, of the Byrds and later Crosby, Stills & Nash, died today at age 81. When Crosby, Stills & Nash was joined by Neil Young, it was called Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Crosby cowrote “Eight Miles High” by the Byrds (1966). Wikipedia says it was “[m]usically influenced by sitar player Ravi Shankar and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane,” and has been called “the first bona fide psychedelic rock song, as well as a classic of the counterculture era”:
“Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” (1969) is a beautiful, epic song by Crosby, Stills and Nash, written by Stephen Stills about Judy Collins:
