On October 15, a CSN&Y tribute CD was released entitled “Music is Love,” and it contained a brand new Venice recording, a cover version of Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush.” You can order the album by clicking here.
“More than 40 years ago, CSN&Y were looking inward, speaking out and writing songs that helped define a generation. Well, that generation grew up, as did the artists, but this connection and bond continued; then new generations discovered them, and much of the music ripened and gained fresh meaning with new causes and the passage of time.
“The strength of these newly recorded versions is a testament to the artistry of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, as well as the special nature of their songs, which hold up beautifully when interpreted and reimagined by a varied roster of artists that range across decades, musical genres and different parts of the globe: from California, Texas and New York to Dublin, Liverpool and Australia; from traditional folkies and alternative rockers to gifted guitarists and bluegrass pickers; as well as wonderfully amazing vocalists, from yesterday and today.”
