‘In what is the most comprehensive biography of the group to date, Browne compiles a fun and fast-paced music history…. an authoritative chronicle.’ –Publishers Weekly

The first and most complete narrative biography of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Teen, by acclaimed music journalist and Rolling Rock senior writer David Browne

Actually in the larger-than-life world of stone, it was hard to assume four more different guys. David Crosby, the opinionated hippie master. Stephen Stills, the about Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: The Wild, Definitive Saga of Rock’s Greatest Supergroup perpetually powered musician. Graham Nash, the tactful pop craftsman. Neil Teen, the creatively restless loner. But jointly, few groups had been as in sync using their times as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Adolescent. Starting with the original trio’s landmark 1969 debut album, the group embodied very much about its era: communal musicmaking, protest tunes that took on the establishment and Richard Nixon, and liberal behaviour toward companions and lifestyles. Their group or individual songs–‘Wooden Ships,’ ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,’ ‘After the Gold Hurry,’ ‘For What It’s Well worth’ (with Stills and Young’s Buffalo Springfield), ‘Like the main one You’re With,’ ‘Longer Time Eliminated,’ ‘Just a Melody Before I Proceed,’ ‘Southern Cross’–became the soundtrack of a generation.

But their tale would rarely become as harmonious as their famous and influential vocal mix. In the years that followed, these four volatile guys would continually split up, reunite, and disband again–all against a backdrop of sociable and musical change, recurring disagreements and jealousies, and self-destructive tendencies that threatened to cripple them both as an organization and as people.

In Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: The Wild, Definitive Saga of Rock’s Greatest Supergroup, longtime music journalist and Rolling Stone writer David Browne presents the best deep dive into rock and roll’s most musical and turbulent brotherhood around the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Featuring unique interviews with David Crosby and Graham Nash along with band members, co-workers, fellow superstars, former managers, employees, and lovers-and with access to unreleased music and documents–Browne requires visitors backstage and onstage, in to the music artists’ homes, recording studios, and psyches, to chronicle the innovative and mental ties which have destined these males together–and occasionally torn them aside. This is the sweeping tale of rock’s longest-running, most dysfunctional, however pre-eminent musical family, delivered using the epic experience their story rightly deserves.
