Amazonレビュー
Long time compatriots and bandmates David Crosby and Graham Nash have joined forces yet again to release the oddly named Crosby/Nash 28 years after their last studio effort, Whistling Down the Wire. This double-disc is certainly worth the wait, despite the fact that most of the 20 songs are profoundly introspective and tinged with an elegant melancholy and sense of regret for an idealized past. To their credit, after four decades, Crosby and Nash are still in perfect voice, and remain graceful foils for one another, although some of the songs don't do justice to their prodigious talents. A handful are without focus and seem to be impressions in search of a hook, save the lovely, ethereal "Lay Me Down" (penned by Crosby's son, James Raymond) and the rather esoteric '60s throwback "Luck Dragon," with its elegant space jam ending. Nash's contributions are a bit more prosaic, and seem to be autobiographical ruminations about middle age, except the chilling environmental cautionary tale, "Don't Dig Here" and haunting post-9/11 song, "Half Your Angels." But the disc really comes alive when the duo shows their old ire, "They Want It All," a clear potshot at corporate greed and politics, and a wrenching read of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." --Jaan Uhelszki

クロスビーの幻想的な難解さを求める向きには少し拍子抜けがあるかも知れないが、それはそれ、薬中のクロスビーとはまた別の魅力がある。
何よりも、今この時代にこう言うC&Nの新譜を聴ける事に感謝したい。
まず飽きる。傾聴(持続して聴く)ことができない。時代が経っても古さを感じないどころか、聴いているそばから忘れて行きそう。
1.メロディーが秀逸・・・ではない。
2.ハモリ重視で、決まってる・・・かろうじて。でもさほどでない。
3.奇抜さ・・・ない。
残るは歌詞の内容がいいとか。そうでもなけりゃ意味が無い。
彼らの25、6歳の時の金字塔はどこへ行ってしまったのか。演奏もさることながら、歌詞、曲のアレンジ、コーラスのかぶせ方が昔は良かった。人生、いろんな事を知った方が良い作品ができそうだが現実はそうではないね。CSN(CSNY)の1枚目、2枚目、その時代のライブ『4 Way Street』、はたまたウッドストックでの演奏。みんなどこへ行ったぁ~。
みたいな作品(実際最初の2曲はRaymond作曲だし)
でも音楽の方向性がそう違っていたわけでもないし、違和感なくみんな
作品の中に溶け込んでいます。
やはりこの二人は時代に追いつこうなどと思わず、こういう感じの
のほほ~んとした雰囲気の作品が似合います。
2枚組と本人たちも気合入ってますし、昔好きだった方はぜひどうぞ。
でもツアーはCSNでやるのにどうしてアルバムではStillsを抜いたのでしょうか?

But even that disc would have been greatly improved -- perhaps the first classic from these legends in some time -- had they chosen to leave at least a half-dozen of songs off.
With that said, there are certainly a dozen tracks that are quite nice. Crosby and Nash really shine as they perform many tunes written by others. And Crosby does manage to add one more classic to his repertoire, with the disc-one-ending "How Does It Shine?".
What stands out the most to me, though, is the production on this set. It is outstanding in a way that surpasses the remastered versions of their absolute classics. (Maybe technology isn't so bad, after all.) Even the mediocre songs sound pretty good...compared to the such poorly-produced recent efforts such as CSN&Y's "Looking Forward."
Yes, at times, this is a real car stereo tester...best enjoyed on a leisurely road trip with just enough inclement weather to require the windows to remain up. However, do be prepared to hit that skip button a few times.
