David Crosby - Voyage 2006 / Anthology 1968 - 2004 / 3CD torrent

“Voyage”, is a career spanning 3 CD David Crosby box set.

The first CD moves with unremitting elegance from The Byrds, through CSN and CSNY, to 1971’s If I Could Only Remember My Name and then to the three LPs Crosby & Nash cut between 1972 and ’76. The audacious and exquisite … Name alone features Neil Young and Graham Nash, members of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana and one-time flame Joni Mitchell.

The second CD takes some liberties with the chronological approach in order to bring some flow to the music Crosby made intermittently in the subsequent three decades, between endless freebase hits, a prison term, liver failure and his downright miraculous recovery. The big surprise provided by these 15 little-heard and critically dismissed tracks is that, during even the worst of times, Crosby was able to come up with songs and vocal arrangements that echoed his halcyon days.

There are revelations aplenty among the 16 previously unreleased tracks on the third CD. Demos of “Long Time Gone,” “Déjà Vu” and “Triad” expose Crosby’s wispy, asymmetrical song structures, as well as the degree to which this born collaborator relied on his mates – notably, fellow genius/fuck-up Stephen Stills – for the solidity they provided.
Live renditions of Crosby & Nash’s “The Lee Shore” and “Traction In The Rain” from 1971 are poetically pristine, and a scintillating 2002 workout on “Dream For Him” by CSNY could’ve come from 30 years earlier. There’s also a delightful outtake from …Name – the wistful, vocally adventurous “Kids And Dogs”, with heady guitar accompaniment from Jerry Garcia.
But the real mindblower is an alternate take of …Name’s “Cowboy Movie”, in which Crosby sings his ample ass off, clearly inspired by the breathtaking guitar interplay of Garcia and Neil Young, both in absolutely peak form, while Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart manage to keep the roof from blowing off.
