Search - David Crosby, Graham Nash :: Wind on the Water

One of the Best Post-CSNY Bands

06/21/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Wind on the Water" is one of David and Graham's best post-CSN efforts. It's a fine collection of songs (Carry Me, Bittersweet, and Naked in the Rain are superb) played by a tight, adventurous band who called themselves The Mighty Jitters, featuring seasoned LA session dudes like Danny Kortchmar, David Lindley and Russ Kunkel.This record has a polish and a professionalism to it that doesn't result in slickness or an overcommercial sound -- it's ballsy music played by a band that is very relaxed and is full of ideas. A really fine album."

An unpretentious album that grows on you the more you listen

"This is a collection of melodies that really grows on you the more you listen. These songs are somewhat different from the typical CSNY fare you might have. The songs are 'soft rock' but have an almost jazzy quality sometimes. The mixing sometimes leaves a little to be desired in that volume levels aren't always consistent. But while it doesn't have the same well-polished finish that a lot of other albums have, there is a real 'honest' quality to the music. It is difficult to describe the genre, as it ranges from kinda-country to serious-rock, to a harmonic vocalization in the truly haunting title track. And a number of the songs do cover a range of social issues. If you like most of CSNY's stuff, this is a must-have!"
