Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Deja Vu (feat. a very special guest)|Vinyl Monday

We have all been here before…
Welcome to week 3 of the Vinyl Monday Woodstock Series! Vinyl Monday is normally my weekly series where I give the who/what/when/where/why and how I feel about classic albums in my collection. But this is the 3rd and final week of celebrating 3 days of peace and love. My updated thoughts on Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young’s Deja Vu (1970)…otherwise known as my mother’s favorite album.

I'm 67 so I'm prejudiced. It still sounds good to me and I still play it often. The American critics of that era were pompous and clueless. Christgau and Rolling Stone had terrible taste and knew nothing about music. I don't know anyone at the time who took them seriously. Rolling Stone re-evaluated the records they had previously panned during the 1980s.

Splendid entry about a Stonehenge of an album this Abby. Great interview with your mom as well. Made me download a book about the band this.
Cheers from Morten in sunny Oslo.

Of course, if Deja Vu wasn't the title track they would need a different LP cover 😊

The Henry the eighth quip was probably a reference to the Herman's Hermits song

Now witness! It's an eye opening A-HA moment! The sun comes out in technicolor and everything makes sense. Its a revelation. Hence the interjection.

Would not the irony have been every other time when you almost did? Of course you didn't make a video then, and we would never know. Smoke a doobie and consider that for a few hours.

Great episode, Carry On is my favorite track by far. P.S. Since your last name is Devoe you need to review Freedom of Choice by Devo.

Abby I was wondering, does ‘Hell’ count as a curse word?

Great album, great review. One of my favorite albums. Your mom said something very interesting about even break up songs are love songs. I never thought of it that way.

23:53 Not to mention that the song "Our House" was featured in an episode of How I Met Your Mother in a Season 5 episode "Home Wreckers" (My favourite show of all time!)

'Lude Beans. Sounds like a Zappa tune.

Back in the day of the later pressings, record collectors had to deal with the pity of folks who had the "better" copy of the album. Stuff like that shirked the idea of quality while emphasising disposability.

Beautiful episode! Great guest too! Only thing thing I disagreed with is about CSN&Y being the only time a supergroup worked. Let’s not forget The Traveling Willburys 😊 (hopefully you’ll do an episode on them one day). Still, great job! Your channel is one of my favorite things on the internet!

First time watcher. You are so lovely. Deja Vu came out when I was 18 and I dead into both the first and second albums. You are lucky to have a cool mom.

Neil’s slapped together County Girl. (Favorite performance is Long Time live with Tom Jones.)

Loved your interview with your Mom. Now, another interview with her about The group , America 🎶✨🕯️

Here in Europe we had the 'cheaper' Deja Vu with a black glossy cover at the time, we're talking 1971-1972 here. Apart from many lovely songs there have always been two monumental ones on this record: Almost Cut My Hair and Country Girl. Which was the best of the two, well, that depends on my mood..

I bought tickets for the Hard Rock Calling concerts in Hyde Park London 2010. Stevie Wonder on the Friday, Paul McCartney on the Saturday. Approaching the merch stall on the Friday, I found out that CSN was one of the support bands for Macca. Support band ! I marched around the concert arena grinning so hard my face hurt. They played Our House, Woodstock, Deja Vu and Almost Cut My Hair from this album. What a marvelous surprise that was.

Rick James suggesting Stephen Stills would not be unexpected; the two had been in a band together. "Henry the VIII" might refer to the sing-song vocals of the Herman's Hermits song of that title. And San Francisco is never shortened to just "SanFran" – sorry, but that's just a dud.

First of all, how cool that your mom is a fan of America! (Hoping one of their albums will get a Vinyl Monday episode in the future). My dad was the one who got me into America, he listened to them a lot as a teenager.
I might lose some of my Canadian (specifically Ontarian) credibility, but I never really connected with Neil Young as a solo artist. I just wasn't a fan of his vocal stylings and thought his songs were a little too melodramatic. However, listening to your Woodstock series the past three weeks and watching the documentary about Laurel Canyon, he's starting to grow on me. I'm warming up to the songs he wrote/played on in Buffalo Springfield and CSNY. I'm also warming up to CSN/CSNY in general. Their harmonies are giving America's a run for their money!

To Abby's mom, you've done well!
Great season!

Well, I see where you got your good looks from. 🙂 This is a great album. I love it. Stills is a Civil War buff, I bet the outfit is an original. Find the Cost of Freedom is another tip off from Stephen.

I didn't know that story about Christine Hinton that's crazy.. She was driving David Crosbys Volkswagen bus no less.

these guys were so great at the harmony vocal thing why doesn't anyone do that any more? I was always a big fan of Neil Young until the song keep on rocking in the real world, I hate that song
