Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: American Dream

Tom Hibbert, Q, December 1988

It has been suggested that this LP is the result of the compassion of Graham Nash, Stephen Stills and Neil Young–a bid to keep their old chum Crosby (who's spent the last decade in a freebase fog, who's been to jail and who's nearly croaked more than once) on the straight and narrow and alive. There again, believe it or no, Crosby, Stills & Nash still haven't fulfilled the contract they signed with Atlantic 20 years ago–they owe the company this album. Whether they owe it to the world is another matter.
