Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Crosby, Stills and Nash were already a "supergroup" before Neil Young, previously of Buffalo Springfield, joined them for this album. Indisputably one of the key albums of the immediate post-Woodstock era, Déjà vu does at times however sound a bit of a period piece. Ranging in emotion from the almost cutesy "Teach Your Children" and "Our House" to the moody, dark guitar sounds of "Almost Cut My Hair" and their version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock", it is nevertheless an important document of the time. Young, who would go on to release the excellent After The Gold Rush later in the same year, provides the best moments with "Helpless" and the "Country Girl" medley. --Tim Perry
Amazon.com essential recording
Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ("Almost Cut My Hair"? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including "Helpless," "Teach Your Children," and "Our House." --Steven Stolder

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUM/CD!,
By
This review is from: Deja Vu (Audio CD)
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are, in my opinion the best blend of harmonizers and the highest caliber of musical talent in creation. I love them! One reviewer notes that this is a landmark, ground breaking collection. He is right. The incredible lyrics of such songs as "Wooden Ships," which is a call to one's social conscience, "Woodstock," (which they snatched away from Joni Mitchell and made their own), and "4 + 20" remain nonpareil to this day. They provide a rich harmony, lyrics that complement the listeners' intelligence and they just plain sound good. This is my favorite album.

Always my favorite,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deja Vu (Audio CD)
Deja Vu was the first CSNY record i recieved and the first of all of my records that I completely fell in love with. It was a gateway album into a whole new genre of music, and though it is not the first of the great rock super-group, it led me into exploring all the other albums of CSN, CSNY, all the individual members , groups that they came from and groups with similar sounds. But no matter what, this group of four incredibly talented musicians have a sound unlike any other that cannot be measured up to. First of all the group is perfect with just its mix of four able to be lead voices singing so strong alone and then together with beautiful and moving harmonies and sounds. But then take that and add groovy full fledged feeling guitars and keys, poetic and beautifully written lyrics, and drums and bass from greg reeves and dallas taylor, and its a group that is so solid and together and this is an incredibly solid and awesome album that i love and will never get tired of. If I had to have only one cd, this would be the one. Though some of the songs are mentioned more often than others, the greatest songs i feel are Carry On with its variety of sound and and changes and thier kick-ass version of Joni Mitchell's Woodstock. But this album just has such a variety of songs and sounds from the rockin guitar and vocals of Almost Cut My Hair, the songs with that sound that only Graham Nash has like Our House, Neil Youngs more mellow tunes with beautifullly written lyrics like Helpless, and the groovy and thoughtful Teach Your Children. The album ends on a great note with Nash and Stills' Everybody I Love You. The whole album is great from start to finish. All of the songs are perfectly written and the sounds just bring you right back to Woodstock and the music of the time. I love every single song on this album but I really can't give the ambum justice from writing a review, so all I can say is to get it! And then be sure to get the first(before Neil Young joined) and then get them all! Dig it

What happened to Wolfie's review?!,
By Elvis Bowmont (Bay Roberts, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deja Vu (Audio CD)
I recently read an absolutely wonderful review of this album by "Wolfie". See; I even remember the name. I was so stirred by his evocotive musings on the times when this album came out that I actually wrote a comment praising the review and his writing while bemoaning the state of things today. Just now I was going to show the review and my comments to a friend and Lo! It's gone! The review is no longer there!! It and my comments no longer exist. I scrolled through 9 pages twice and IT IS GONE!Is it possible that it was removed as being inappropriate?! That's the only thing I can think of. Because if that's the case I'm signing off from this idiot-fest for the last time. I can understand something overly vulgar being removed for the sake of our ever-fragile children's minds but COME ON! The man wrote of remembering some smoke and a van! Was it my comments that got it axed? Has it come down to this?!?!?!!!
