Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Heartland - Non-Album Tracks (2000-2002)

Last week, I posted my version of the 1999 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album "Looking Forward." There were just too many songs to put on that, because I liked all of the songs on the original version of the album (though I generally chose different versions) and there were a bunch of songs from that time that I wanted to include too. Thus, I put five songs on their next album, this one, plus other songs they came up with through 2002.

It's my strong belief that CSN(Y) still wrote and sang lots of excellent songs well beyond their 1960s and 70s heyday, it's just that they kept failing to bring it all together on record, over and over again. This album is further proof of that. CSNY went on tour in 2002 after doing so in 2000, despite having no new album to promote. As this album shows, they definitely had lots of good new songs for such an album. It's just that the usual problems (especially ego clashes) got in the way again.

Like my revamp of "Looking Forward," most of the songs here are live versions (with the audience noise removed) to get around the seemingly inevitable production problems latter day CSN(Y) has suffered from. The three Neil Young songs are all done live with CSNY but are taken from his 2002 album "Are You Passionate?" It was a very disappointing album, but luckily he salvaged the three best songs from it here. (CSNY did a fourth in concert, "You're My Girl," but I felt it wasn't good enough of a song to include.)

Eight of the 12 songs on the album are performed by CSNY. Of the remaining four, two come from a Graham Nash solo album, one from a David Crosby solo album, and one from a Stephen Stills album (with Young a key participant on the song).

The album is an hour long, which is longer than I would like, but all of the songs seemed worthy of inclusion.

I still have four more stray tracks albums to post before CSNY called it quits around 2015, but Young's role as a creative participant dropped way off after this point, so the remaining albums are all just CSN.

I happened to have a copy of a fun parody of Picasso's "Three Musicians" painting featuring CSNY, so I made the cover out of it. I don't know who made the art for it.
