OK, this is twice in two days that RP has played a song out of my "Best Ever" list -- songs that I thought I had the only remaining copies on the planet. Is someone sneaking into my playlists?  |

True, but this still works on its own. Be good top-down driving through the desert at night music. |

Hello:
This does very little for me...loud and boring.
Sincerely, Neil

This live version sounds pretty good, though Crosby's voice is not what it once was. 
You are on target there! Nice B-3 and guitar solo work, though.

Not really - also this version isn't as good as the original. It is really a rip of Neil's Down By The River. |

Crosby was hilarious on Al Franken's Show yesterday. Very quick wit, which surprised me. |

Exactly. And I always thought Almost Cut My Hair was the weakest song on that album. |

That's something one would think about when baked - just because you tell a story doesn't make a great song (think the 'Gambler' from Kenny Rogers) - this is an awful song - |

I was driving down Hwy 1 with Cowboy Movie playing on my all chrome Muntz 8 track when I was broad sided by a drunk coming out of Trancus. Slow motion wreck with this in the background. Car was a total loss but music never stopped. David has his problems but he does capture So Cal in the 70's. I love him.

oh jeez.....this came out when I was born? It could pass as new song to me. I like the sound from around that time and I still hear it in music now. This ain't bad :)
Well I read that wrong. '95 and nice album title come back after the '71 album. :D

I always thought that Crosby's contributions to CSN&Y and CSN were the best. I still think that. But this piece is just tiresome, in my opinion.

What can be said about David's music that hasn't been said....The word I could come up with is "Most Excellent" *** Smile - The world needs it more today.........JG :)

I've never been a big fan of David Crosby, but maybe I should be... sounds great!  |

Sorry to go against the grain, but blah! I really don't care for David Crosby's voice. It's harsh and unpleasant to me. The melody is average, too. Good players, but boring song.

The Part with the Hammond-organ (correct name?) is really nice.
A very good song.

David's voice still sounds great after all these years. So clear and sweet.
