Hmm, getting into these laid back harmonies is quite difficult but there are some nice tracks here, notably the jaunty Marakeesh Express, but I’m not quite as blown away as I thought I was expecting to be having no real exposure to Crosby, Stills and Nash previously. Crosby, Stills and Nash were the first Supergroup (Crosby (The Byrds), Stills (Buffalo Springfield) and Nash (The Hollies)), though they might not have realised it at the time.
Helplessly Hoping, is a really engaging track with some wonderfully wistful lyrics of a man waiting for his lover to return (I think?). Overall, after several listens, I can see myself queueing this album up on a rainy day or other such mundane something, with a view to being transported back to the late ’60s
