40 Years On

(Looking back at the 40-year plus career of Graham Nash.)

On February 3, 2009, Rhino Records will release a 3-CD collection of Graham's songs from 1967 through the near present. Reflections will take the listener on a chronological order tour of Nash's career from the Hollies to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to Crosby, Stills & Nash (CS&N), reformed for the cash. Thus, the 64 tracks will begin with On a Carnival and Carrie Anne and conclude with the previously unreleased CS&N track Lonely Man.

We expect the highlights to be the songs from his very good solo albums - songs such as Military Madness, Chicago and Barrel of Pain.

Rhino generally, although not always, gives us excellent warm-sounding remastered releases. Sadly, one notable exception was Rhino's recent re-release of the first CS&N album. Rhino's remaster took the life out of the lively CS&N and turned it into dull mush.

Let's hope they've hired better ears to supervise the production of GN's forthcoming Reflections.
