Crosby, Still, and Nash topped their enormously popular self-titled 1969 debut by adding Neil Young to their ranks and expanding their stylistic and sonic range. The result, released in 1970, was an artistic and commercial success, representing the talents of the four primary players to excellent effect. More ambitious and incisive than its CSN predecessor, DEJA VU brings together folk, psychedelia, jazz, African, and Middle Eastern flavors, Tin Pan Alley, and hard rock in a manner that captures the tenor of the era's counterculture without sounding dated.
The group's distinctively lush harmonies are spread across the album, notably on the record's two centerpieces--"Carry On," which segues into a chugging, percussion-fueled groove halfway through, and "Woodstock," the band's hard rock re-working of the Joni Mitchell tune. Elsewhere, the songs are stamped by individual personalities, as on David Crosby's driving "Almost Cut My Hair," Graham Nash's quaint "Our House," and Stephen Stills dark, folky "4+20." Young's aching, plaintive "Helpless" is one of the highlights here, as is Crosby's complex title cut (with its intricate rhythms and vocal arrangements). Though their time together was tumultuous and short-lived, CSNY were one of the most successful acts of the era, and DEJA VU finds them at their peak.

Still Ring True Today
Sit down with your family or friends, close your eyes and listen to the lyrics. Is it 1970, when this was originally released, or 2004? Amazing is'nt it. Songs written over 30 years ago and the words still hold true in the state of current affairs today. Lyrics that transcend time coupled with excellent music and vocals. That is what makes Deja Vu a must for any music collection.

I heard this album first in approximately in 1975. Up to this days (I´m 48 years old) is amazing for me. Simply said: it is wonderful thing for me... a propos: it was very hard to listen to the music groups from the western side of the world...

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A cultural masterpiece
Nothing at the time this was released could have compared to this album, either in creative strength or powerful songwriting. This album takes the talents of all its members (old and new) and combines it into a rocking, infectious, socially conscious record that floats above our awareness while not alienating us. This album represented the pinnacle of folk-rock, and would not be repeated, although there have been numerous tries. And yet, the group barely survived through its creation.
The initial trio, Crosby, Stills & Nash, were arguing constantly among themselves, and Neil Young was more of a distant observer and occasional contributor than a bona-fide member. "Helpless", one of the best songs on the record, went through about seventy or eighty takes before the harmonies were finally worked out. This album really highlights the fact that the music is what really matters, no matter who makes it, and on those pretentions, one can forgive the group for its incredible divisiveness. The music has stood the test of time, and it might stay that way for as long as it is remembered.

A wonderful follow-up to the first CSN album, it easily surpasses it with the addition of Neil Young. Time has only magnified its importance and relevance. One of the greats.

4 WAY STREET caught Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their 1970 concert tour at the height of their success. Even with its included bits of audience patter and a few overlong tracks ("Southern Man" and "Carry On"), the album is varied and exciting, and perfectly captures the quartet's remarkable singer/songwriter chemistry and sparkling harmonies. Stephen Still's classics like ...

Deja Vu
$10.29
It was big news in 1969 when former key members of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and the Hollies--three of the finest bands of the '60s--splintered off to form their own trio. Despite their already-proven talents, few could have imagined the gossamer vocal blend that would become the trademark of supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. The band's debut effectively provided the soundtrack to the summer of '69.
For his part, Steve Stills keeps exploring the progressive folk-rock sound that he'd pioneered with Buffalo Springfield; signature tune "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is an expansive, multi-section affair that makes full use of the group's vocal skills. Fresh from the Hollies, Graham Nash adds an accessible pop sensibility, epitomized by the effervescent ditty "Marrakesh Express." David Crosby, always the wild card in the Byrds, here adds rough edges and flashes of mystery with ...

Deja Vu
$12.59
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a benchmark record. It turned the musical world on its ear with a hitherto unseen combination of sounds, and changed things considerably for Pink Floyd. For this project, Pink Floyd resurrected older and unfinished numbers, some of which came from the multitude of soundtracks the band members had previously worked on. The film ZABRISKIE POINT, a study of American materialism from a foreigner's perspective, provided "Us and Them" ...
