Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Peter Dogett's book is a fascinating, rip-roaring and timely re-telling of a corner of music history that was hugely important but is all too often forgotten. The rehabilitation of Crosby, Stills and Nash's reputation (and of Young's contributions here) is long overdue -- Frank Turner Engaging... [Doggett] use[s] the saga of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a metaphor for the Woodstock generation and their doomed mission to return to the garden -- Will Hodgkinson * The Times, *Book of the Week* * [A] meticulous chronicle of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young... Doggett carefully charts the stalled sessions and schemes caused by this alpha-male jostling... For fans who want detailed chronology, it will be a joy, but Doggett's book is also a deft portrait of a golden age tarnishing even as the band sang -- Victoria Segal * Sunday Times * Especially good on the musicians early lives and early Seventies peak * Choice * Doggett... presents a solid, steady, evenhanded portrait. He loves the music without being slavish, and pays each of the musicians their due -- Anthony Quinn * Mail on Sunday * Exhaustively researched... If you think you know the history of CSN&Y then read this and, like me, you will be surprised at what you learn -- Tom Povey * RNR * Doggett...treasure[s] the band's early oeuvre and writes with empathy about the group -- Holly George-Warren * Times Literary Supplement *
