Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Peter Dogett's book is a fascinating, rip-roaring and timely re-telling of a corner of music history that was hugely important but is all too often forgotten. The rehabilitation of Crosby, Stills and Nash's reputation (and of Young's contributions here) is long overdue

Frank Turner

Especially good on the musicians early lives and early Seventies peak

Choice

Engaging… [Doggett] use[s] the saga of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a metaphor for the Woodstock generation and their doomed mission to return to the garden

Will Hodgkinson, The Times, *Book of the Week*

[A] meticulous chronicle of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young… Doggett carefully charts the stalled sessions and schemes caused by this alpha-male jostling… For fans who want detailed chronology, it will be a joy, but Doggett’s book is also a deft portrait of a golden age tarnishing even as the band sang

Victoria Segal, Sunday Times

Doggett… presents a solid, steady, evenhanded portrait. He loves the music without being slavish, and pays each of the musicians their due

Anthony Quinn, Mail on Sunday

Exhaustively researched… If you think you know the history of CSN&Y then read this and, like me, you will be surprised at what you learn

Tom Povey, RNR

Doggett…treasure[s] the band’s early oeuvre and writes with empathy about the group
