Carry On/Teach Your Children/Almost Cut My Hair/Helpless/Woodstock/Déjà Vu/Our House/4+20/Country Girl/ Everybody I Love You
The debut album from Crosby Stills and Nash was one of the defining musical statements from the Woodstock generation. Many wondered whether they would be able to equal it, but with the help of Neil Young, the follow up Déjà Vu dispelled all doubts. Includes the US top twenty hits Woodstock and Teach Your Children. (US:1 UK:5)
"Déjà Vu is a timeless masterpiece of classic rock. It's the crowning achievement of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Much of their fame and durability over the past thirty years can be traced to this album. It contains some of their most outstanding and famous songs, including the rock anthems Carry On and Woodstock, David Crosby's tongue-in-cheek Almost Cut My Hair, Stephen Stills' forlorn ballad 4 + 20, and my personal favourite Our House."
"Every track shows CSN&Y's tremendous dynamism, versatility and musical maturity. Superbly intelligent lyrics, great guitar riffs, beautifully crafted harmonies, sizzling percussion, all converge to make every song a rock masterpiece. This is one of the landmark albums of all time for fans of rock music."
"It’s the perfect mixture of harmonized vocals, singer/songwriter lyrics and fuzzed out guitar. Every song is instantly endearing and catchy. Beautiful melodies and harmonies married to brilliant songwriting lead to an excellent album. The talent on display here is astounding. They really brought their best to this with the highlights popping up everywhere."
“Déjà Vu is easily the greatest album from Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. It might be arguably the greatest electric folk album of all time. It's a total masterpiece, there isn't anything resembling a bad song on it."
"Every song on the album is very obviously a product of an individual personality - but each personality is aware of his role as a leading light of the counter-culture of the era and contributes to it in his own fashion. They might have been playing at the end of the hippy era, but they played the 60s out in style."
"This is just pure excellence, the combined efforts of four amazingly talented individuals. A prime example of brilliant late 60s rock. It's rock 'n' roll, blues and folk in a blender. I could sit and listen to this album on repeat for hours."
