Members Bookumdano2 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Maybe it's already been brought up. I always like dissecting the song "Deja Vu" with its over-the-top compressed 12 strings and all those little overdubs that fly in and out. A really active mix on that one....http://www.amazon.com/Deja-Vu/dp/B002FVMARS/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341090211&sr=301-1&tag=vglnkc4192-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philbo Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not exactly 'free', but $5 is pretty good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 "Almost Cut My Hair" is my favorite. Crosby's deadpan delivery is hilarious. It's one of the funniest songs about hippies from inside the hippie culture. Neil's equally stone-faced 'emotionalism' in the lead work is equally droll. I also have a soft spot for "Our House," heaven help me, tied into my 3 bittersweet years with my first GF. And "4+20" is really a good confessional song. Oddly, the album doesn't seem to be available (as an album) on MOG (and presumably other subscription services; didn't check Spot but they're usually parallel-ish), although some of the songs pop up on career retro's from Crosby and Young and perhaps others. That said, despite the fact that I was a much bigger NY fan than CS&N -- it would be the first CS&N album that went with me to the desert island (assuming I could take a whole bunch of other stuff as well, otherwise, it's ciao-the-pretty-harmonies).

Members Bookumdano2 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 Dunno how long Amazon will be giving the entire album away free, but it is there right now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffLearman Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 I wonder what the secret is, because it shows $5 to me, too. However, every time I've tried Amazon downloads, the process didn't go anything like the instructions said, and no downloads resulted ... and I was charged $1 for the track. There was no way to contact them other than general feedback, which I did, and never received a response to. I tried it 5 times, on two computers (once after an OS re-install), and with two different browsers (MSIE and Firefox). I award them zero out of 5 stars for that product stream. Too bad too, because I'd really like a pay-per-track solution and can't tolerate iTunes, which wants to own every media type on my computer (won't make that mistake again!)

That was 1971; I was 14. A year later, 4-way Street was to be a huge influence. But .... I'm still not really sure whether the humor was intended. Glad to hear you think it was!

Members Bookumdano2 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 You're right. I guess the freebie ended. I downloaded it on I think Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hush Posted July 3, 2012 Members Share Posted July 3, 2012 I was just trying to find this on Spotify this morning. Doesn't appear to be available. Guess I'll just have to pull out the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members E-money Posted July 3, 2012 Members Share Posted July 3, 2012 What a great album, chocked full of radio hits (Carry On, Our House, Teach Your Children, Woodstock). My favorite tune on the album is the Neil Young song Country Girl (I think you're pretty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a long version of ACMH where it turns into a big jam. I'm not sure what it was released on, but I've heard it on Sirius Radio before.

Members Huh? Posted July 4, 2012 Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 While not on this brilliant album......Long Time Gone was just the perfect song in the opening section of the movie Woodstock. Great band......even with Neil Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
