Songs for Survivors [Enhanced]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
With his fifth solo outing, Graham Nash ends a song cycle he kicked off with his 1971 solo debut, Songs for Beginners. Song for Survivors, finished just before his 60th birthday, finds the Hollies/CSNY vet making an uneasy peace with himself and his choices. Nash is still a tiger, but here he rails against growing old and docile and, worse, repeating himself. The brooding "Blizzard of Lies" conveys a churlish exasperation at finding himself on the same well-worn terrain he traveled years before. He returns to the theme again with the atmospheric "Chelsea Hotel," which carries the whiff of decay ("We will carry on / Searching for truth with perpetual youth that will fade and be gone in a blink of an eye / The world will be passing us by"). Salvation for Nash lies in love and enduring friendships, and he celebrates the former with three love songs for his wife and the latter with a paean to pals, "Nothing in the World." --Jaan Uhelszki
Product Description
Songs for Survivors is the first solo album in 15 years by Graham Nash. Nash is accompanied by a band of veteran West Coast musicians including Russ Kunkel (drums, percussion), Dan Dugmore (pedal steel, acoustic & electric guitars), and Victor Krauss (acoustic & electric bass). The recording experience, Graham explains, has been "one of the most rewarding of my life."
Having played on hundreds of recordings, performed in numerous countries and written over 200 songs including, "Our House", "Teach Your Children", "On a Carousel", "Wasted on the Way" and "Marrakesh Express", Graham is one of the most durable musical figures to have emerged from the 1960s. As one of the founding members of the Hollies, Graham achieved international success as part of the British Invasion in the 60’s. Shortly after, he joined Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who are now in their 30th year of recording and performing together. In May of 1997, Graham (along with Stephen Stills and David Crosby) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his remarkable career. Nash recently finished a 2002 nationwide tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and plans to headline a run of solo dates this fall.
