4 Way Street Description: Crosby, Stills, Nash&Young created some of the most indelible and memorable music of the `60s and `70s. Comprised of refugees from bands such as The Hollies, Buffalo Springfield, and the Byrds, the combined talents of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young have proven to have endless appeal to several generations of music lovers. As rock `n` roll`s first supergroup, CSN&Y generated an enormous amount of media scrutiny, from their debut at Woodstock to the staggering commercial success of albums such as Deja Vu to the mammoth tours that continue to this day, as well as David Crosby`s public meltdown and recovery from life-threatening addictions. Now, noted CSN&Y historian Dave Zimmer distills the best journalism on the group, ranging from group portraits to individual profiles to interviews to incisive commentary. 4 Way Street is an open window into one of the most popular groups of all time, a fascinating look at four charged musical relationships and how they have changed over the decades, and a revealing chronicle of the music of an era that continues to echo into the new millennium....
