But even more than any of their eminent peers, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young channeled and broadcast all the radical anger, romantic idealism, and generational angst of their time. Each of the members had already made their marks in huge bands (The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds), but together, their harmonies were transcendent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vast emotional range of their music, from delicate acoustic confessionals to raucous counterculture anthems, was mirrored in the turbulence of their personal lives. Their trademark may have been vocal harmony, but few amp;mdash; if any amp;mdash; of their contemporaries could match the recklessness of their hedonistic and often combative lifestyles, when the four tenacious, volatile, and prodigal songwriters pursued chemical and sexual pleasure to life-threatening extremes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCSNY\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles these four iconic musicians and the movement they came to represent, concentrating on their prime as a collective unit and a cultural force: the years between 1969, when Woodstock telegraphed their arrival to the world, and 1974, when their archenemy Richard Nixon was driven from office, and the band (to quote Graham Nash himself) ¿lost it on the highway¿.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven 50 years later, there are plenty of stories left to be told about Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young amp;mdash; and music historian Peter Doggett is here to bring them to light in the meticulously researched \u003ci\u003eCSNY\u003c\/i\u003e, a quintessential and illuminative account of rock¿s first supergroup in their golden hour for die-hard fans, nostalgic flower children, and music history aficionados alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117293224176,"sku":"2940170437610","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170437610_p0.jpg?v=1763710010","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170437610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
