CSNY'S GRAHAM NASH REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND HIS DEBUT SOLO LP SONGS FOR BEGINNERS (Ep. 242)

from Discograffiti · host David Gebroe

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, Graham Nash comes clean with host Dave Gebroe about his very first solo album, the classic Songs For Beginners, with commentary and stories from that incredibly fraught, chaotic time. Discograffiti’s Wild Tales: The Graham Nash Interview Series tackles every last release the great Graham Nash ever had a hand in creating, including CSN/Y, C&N, and his solo career, detailing a history almost too wild to be believed.  Here are just a few of the many things that Graham discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The three albums that Graham was making at the same time during that era; The overly complex relationships which fueled Graham’s songwriting at the time; The track that features The Grateful Dead, David Crosby, & Neil Young as Graham’s backing band; Details on Graham’s friendship with Terry Reid; The very first Crosby & Nash studio session, which wound up devolving into a complete debacle; Graham’s experience working with Judee Sill, as producer of “Jesus Was A Cross Maker”; And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Songs For Beginners.
