A founding voice in folk-rock harmony, from 'Turn! Turn! Turn!' to solo work like 'Cowboy Movie'.
For a quick sense of his range, listen to the harmony-driven 'Déjà Vu' and the storytelling of 'Cowboy Movie'. They frame the two sides of his work pretty well.
Crosby's voice and songwriting helped define the sound of late-60s folk-rock, especially on records like the Crosby, Stills & Nash debut. His solo material, such as 'Cowboy Movie', shows a more personal, narrative side that kept his catalog interesting. Even through personal difficulties, he kept writing and collaborating, leaving a stack of songs that feel lived-in.
He started in Los Angeles with The Byrds, then formed Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969, which became Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young after Neil Young joined. Later, he worked on solo albums like 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' and kept recording into later decades.
