Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

The CSNY name carries disproportionate weight considering the quartet produced a grand total of three studio albums and one live set over the course of three decades. Of course, the first studio LP, 1969's Deja Vu, is one of the touchstones of Woodstock-era rock. Nearly two decades passed before the foursome cut the forgettable American Dream. Unfortunately, Looking Forward owes more to the unfocused latter (not to mention CSN's unremarkable recent output) than the vital Deja Vu. It's telling that three of the four Neil Young tracks (as well as Stephen Stills's above par "Faith in Me") were produced by long-time Young confederate Ben Keith while the rest of the album is credited to CSNY. The controlling hand Young maintains on his own material pays off with two of the best numbers here--the Harvest Moon-like title track and "Slowpoke". Graham Nash fares well with characteristically melodic efforts, but Stills and David Crosby stumble on the awkwardly bellicose "Seen Enough" and "Stand and Be Counted", missteps that throw the entire set off course. --Steven Stolder

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD THINGS HAPPENIN', Dec 6 2003

By

Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Looking Forward (Audio CD)

"Looking Forward" is a fine album full of remarkable songs from one of the greatest bands ever assembled (If the word "assembled" is appropriate). The standouts are "Faith In Me," "Heartland," "Stand and Be Counted," and the spectacular title track, a great folk-rock anthem. The rest of the album is good, solid entertainment from a classic group of singers. Grade: B+

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD - 'Sanibel' song is all the rave, Jan 23 2003

This review is from: Looking Forward (Audio CD)

I didn't know about this CD until one of my site visitors mentioned it and then it was a mad scramble of Sanibel Island lovers that simply wanted to buy it due to the 'Sanibel' song alone. It is a great CD, but, I have to confess that I too just love the 'Sanibel' song. There aren't many songs about our Islands so this is a rare and cherished find! ~Robynn French Sanibel-Online.com

4.0 out of 5 stars These guys still sing great together, Dec 28 2003

This review is from: Looking Forward (Audio CD)

This was a welcome comeback from four of the best songwriters in the business. Crosby, Nash and Young are at the top of their game. While Stephen Stills has lost much of his vocal range and his songwriting skills have slipped but he remains a inventive player. Even with only 3 cilinders firing at full throttle this record is a must have for folk rock fans who enjoy good songwriting and great harmonies. There is no one else out there who sounds like these guys. Check out Graham Nash's "Someday Soon" which is hands down the best track these guys have recorded since 1977.
