The three members first performed together at a private party in July 1968 where they instantly realized they had a unique vocal chemistry. Crosby knew Nash from a UK tour in 1966 featuring The Byrds and The Hollies. The two met informally during a jam with Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner. Many credit this album for helping spawn the prolific soft rock groups of the 1970s which dominate many of the pop charts through that decade.Ĭrosby was dismissed from The Byrds in late 1967 due to internal conflicts, while Buffalo Springfield broke up a few months later, leaving Stills without a permanent gig. Together, the group put an original twist on folk, country, blues, and rock topped by their masterfully blended three-part harmonies. David Crosby was from The Byrds, and Stephen Stills played in Buffalo Springfield, both Southern California folk/rock groups, while Graham Nash was from the British pop group The Hollies. The trio of vocalists / guitarists which forged this group each came from successful 1960s pop/rock acts. Crosby, Stills & Nash is an extremely rich and influential debut album from the “super group” of the same name.
