Crosby, Stills & Nash – Daylight Again
A panacea – the songs on this album are such familiar favourites. Making hay while the lights are on! Not a whole lot of Croz (he was otherwise pre-occupied with dodgy substances) but what there is must surely be the best song on the album, by some distance – the sublime “Delta”. Apparently, Jackson Brown coerced him into finishing it or it might not have happened at all – perish the thought!
Bolstered by a few notables who made their way onto the personnel list ... Dean Parks, Leland Sklar, Timothy B Schmit, Danny Kortchmar, Jeff Porcaro, and so on! Many other choices, “Southern Cross”, “Wasted on the Way”, “Song for Susan”, etc., and Nash is a consistent force behind it all, but so is Stephen Stills and I think he acquits himself very nicely on the title track which he wrote (co-vocals by Art Garfunkel) …. Cleverly and carefully done - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILeV_0GiUBY
