Book Reviews of Crosby, Stills & Nash: The Authorized Biography (The Definitive Inside Story of the Supergroup
Book Review: reveals the men behind the legend
Summary: 4 Stars
What a phenomenally detailed read this is. Dave Zimmer meticulously describes the early years of these three legends, gently leading us through the years of sixties rock until the three paths finally converged in CSN. The incredible photography of Henry Diltz is a perfect complement to Zimmer's text. Zimmer explores the complex personality and ego issues which led to supreme dissonance among the men whose voices blended in harmonies so beautiful as to defy description. Harmony well done requires a blending of the individual voices, which necessitates submerging egos. Individually, the creative genius of each member is awe-inspiring, but collectively the music of CSN is pure, unadulterated magic.
With the addition of Neil Young to the mix, Zimmer depicts four ultra-creative souls struggling to be heard as indivduals. Written with the band's cooperation, the book is filled with interviews and insightful quotes. The later years of CSN&Y sound like a high school clique-breaking up, reconciling, reconfiguring and excluding. Zimmer guides us through the decades, transitioning smoothly from one member of the band to the next as he describes the triumphs and tragedies following the glory years.
In a time when musicians are blacklisted for speaking out about political issues, it is refreshing to be reminded that at one time musicians who protested through their music were heroes to many of us.
