One of the key protagonists of the 1960s West Coast scene, David Crosby dropped out of college to strum away in coffee houses and tour the country with Les Baxter's Balladeers before founding the folk rock band The Byrds. He became a huge star with supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, playing at the legendary Woodstock festival and topping the US charts with the 1970 album 'Déjà Vu' before turning solo with 'If I Could Only Remember My Name'. Featuring Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, Graham Nash and Santana, the album peaked at number 12 and was defined as 'freak folk' for its psychedelic influences and acoustic melodies but went on to be regarded as something of a understated classic. Always an outspoken political voice, Crosby worked as a duo with Graham Nash throughout the 1970s producing the top ten albums 'Graham Nash David Crosby' in 1972 and 'Wind On the Water' in '75, but he suffered drug problems and was imprisoned for nine months as a result. He returned with the solo albums 'Oh Yes I Can' in '89 and 'Thousand Roads' in '93 and formed CPR (Crosby, Pever & Raymond) with his son James Raymond and guitarist Jeff Pevar, releasing two live albums before disbanding in 2004. Crosby suffers with ill-health and, at the request of medical professionals, he postponed scheduled tour dates in 2014 due to heart problems. He released a solo album that year - 'Croz' - which brought him back to the forefront, and he followed this up with 'Lighthouse' and 'Sky Trails' shortly after in 2017.
