All things considered, he lived a pretty long life considering. Still easily in my top five of all time.Well, he did make it quite a few more years than anyone thought he would thanks to his liver transplant. RIP.
Wow, this one really hits close to the bone.
And Jeff Beck just a week before.
But Crosby, man, he was my fave voice of CSN.
His song Laughing is genius, sheer...all his friends playing and singing on it too...
Jerry on steel guitar....
Stuff like that happens to me sometimes. A person will pop into my head and then BOOM! I hear they've passed.Oh, man.
Didn't know, but strangely around 4 pm today I had an overwhelming desire to hear him, so I played Thousand Roads and For Free back-to-back on my office music system.
Crosby wasn't as prolific as some of his contemporaries, but he sure produced some amazing songs. "Triad" in particular is killer. I wish The Byrds had recorded it. "Everybody's Been Burned" is another great one."Triad" and "Guinevere" -- these two songs sum up Crosby's gift as a musician in my opinion.
