Terrific episode, and an unexpected pivot to a classic rock chestnut rather than the indie LPs usually discussed. Given his legendarily challenging collaborators, Graham Nash remains the consummate class act. Interesting insights on a great album I sometimes take for granted.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's album DÉJÀ VU ushered in a new era of rock and roll. We spoke to @TheGrahamNash and @DavBrowne about how it was made. Bringing in Neil Young, personal struggles, political turmoil and rock's preeminent supergroup.

Another delightful podcast! I assume there was some hands-on editing here; you get to relish Hitchcock's intricate imagination & wonderful vocabulary, but tied to a relatively straight & informative narrative. Hope he knows how much some of us absolutely treasure this record!
