Book Description

Advance praise for Hotel California

"A British rock critic obsessed with America, Barney Hoskyns brings a genuine love as well as an outsider's keen eye to the rise and fall of the California scene in the sixties and seventies. This is a riveting story, sensitively told."
—Anthony DeCurtis, Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone

"Comprehensive and lively, Hotel California offers a front-row seat on the wild ride—fueled by drugs, sex, and lots of cash—that took Southern California singer-songwriters from hot tubs and local bars to sold-out stadiums, private jets, and the bestselling album of all time."
—Alan Light, author of The Skills to Pay the Bills: The Story of the Beastie Boys

"One of our finest pop historians reappraises a neglected and often maligned milieu. Barney Hoskyns deftly evokes not just the decadence but the sense of discovery rooted in 1960s idealism and fostered by a gaggle of record industry mavericks who, for a brief period, managed to make art and business coexist."
—Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again

poorly written,inaccurate.......2007-06-10

don't bother to buy this very poorly written book that has distorted facts.The author is basically repeating various quotes from many sources repeatedly.Boring...His facts are wrong.For example he states that Graham Nash was a very compromising person.In fact he was not and this has been verified with his past history with the Hollies.
I am not a critical person but this book was a real disappointment to me...

Hotel California - the way to stardom.......2007-05-12

This books gives details of how various musical artist found their way to the big leagues; who was dating who; who was living with who; and all the secrets that you want to know about your idols.

a gentle look at a time of change and chaos.......2007-05-06

Hoskyns' infatuation with the mythic culture of southern California in the 60s and 70s is evident in his depiction of the people and circumstances that produced much of the best music of those years. He describes an era of magic and gives detailed background to the rise of singer/songwriters, revealing their vulnerability to the evolving culture. Without sounding preachy, Hoskyns details the spiraling abuse of alcohol and drugs, primarily cocaine, and its effect on the creative abilities of the artists. The numerous early deaths are the most obvious casualty, but the reader is left pondering the long term effect of rampant substance abuse within the music industry as well.

Hoskyns explores complicated relationship dynamics, both personal and professional. Through extensive interviews he also provides a retrospective look at this infamous time. His writing engages the reader, making Hotel California a valuable addition to any comprehensive collection of books about the musicians and culture of the 60s and 70s.

As Hoskyns astutely states on the final page, "In selling their souls for fame and riches, the stars of the 1960s and 1970s helped create a world where passive consumerism replaced emotional engagements and political commitment."

So Crosby was on Drugs... .......2007-03-10

I decided to read this book, becuase I love music and like to read anything about music and the industry. This was a good read but not a great read, Now i was not a product of the 70's and wasnt a big fan of the eagles, Crosby, The Byrds, CSNY, Ronstadt or any of the artists profiled in the book, however, i was hoping for a wild acoount of orgy and debauchery. It isnt here at all about the only juicy tidbits ares that Coke was big on the scene in those days and everyone slept with everyone... well duh.
I have to be fair and say that If I was a product of this time and A big fan this book might have done better for me, and if you are a fan than this book will rate higher with you.
It just wasnt there for me in ways that "Rolling with the Stones" and "Room Full of Mirrors Were."

Timing is everything.......2007-03-08

It is hard to describe to someone the meaning of serendipity if they have never experienced it. And it happens rarely enough in life. But the purchase and subsequent reading of this book happened at exactly the same time as David Geffen's emergence as a news story presence in the past month.

Geffen is a major part of the story of Hotel California. His influence and drive helped to make the emergence of the left coast as the "new music capital" of America possible. But the story is so huge and involves so many figures that the book would have to be three times as long in order tell more than a cursory overview of the California music scene.

I also don't know if the book does particular homage in a good light to certain personalities of the day, especially Joni Mitchell. The rest of the cast of characters are all very familiar to anyone over the age of 45 and this book is a good introduction to the California scene. When combined with several other excellent book that are currently available about The Byrds, Gene Clark, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young as well as Crosby, Stills and Nash, the picture becomes more focused. Otherwise, this book is like watching the history of a decade or more of music in a two hour special by Ken Burns. It leaves you wanting more.

Buy it, read it and then keeping reading other accounts of the time. It can take you back and take you forward... just like the music and the scene in 70's California.

Book Description

"Crosby, Stills & Nash are in their own special realm-triumphant harmonies, never second-hand or behind the times, always touching the chord and going to the heart."-Bob Dylan

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young have been hailed as "The American Beatles" and "Folk-Rock's Mount Rushmore." They launched a trail-blazing acoustic-electric sound in 1969 and have been captivating listeners with their music ever since. Coming together as refugees from three seminal '60s bands-the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies-the combined talents of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young have influenced several generations of musicians while proving to have enduring appeal to fans of all ages. As rock and roll's first "supergroup," CSNY generated an enormous amount of media scrutiny-from their galvanizing appearance at Woodstock to multi-platinum, chart-topping albums such as DŽj^ Vu, from David Crosby's miraculous recovery from life-threatening addictions to the band's resurgence for enormously successful concert tours. Now, noted CSNY historian Dave Zimmer distills the best of the journalism on these four remarkable artists, ranging from group portraits to individual profiles to in-depth interviews to incisive commentary by such writers as Cameron Crowe, Ben Fong-Torres and David Crosby himself. 4 Way Street: The Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Reader is an open window into one of the most popular groups of all time, offering a fascinating look at their highly charged musical relationships and how they have changed over the decades, along the way revealing a colorful chronicle of the music of an era that continues to echo into the new millennium.

Like reliving the great days of CSN&Y.......2006-01-20

You'll be glad you buy this book, if you do! I was a little young when CSN&Y came out (only 7!), but I kept up with them through the years and always found them fascinating. This book makes you feel like you've got a scrapbook of them from "the old days." The journalism is great, especially the pieces of Cameron Crowe and the first piece about Laurel Canyon and its many musical artists. You also "get to know" the personalities because of the concise natures of the interviews. I found out a lot about my favorite, Stephen Stills. I also love the selection of B&W pictures and took them to Kinko's to copy and put on my walls! The book truly captures their magic and fire. I also have Zimmer's bio, but it's always the Reader that I go back to because you can skip around in it too. The only regret I have is that I will it was a larger book, like the size of the Rolling Stone magazine, which would really give it a scrapbook feel. Nevertheless, I'm thrilled that I found this by doing an Amazon search! Please buy; you'll be glad you did!

CSN&Y Articles.......2004-11-06

Dave Zimmer has complied articles from the thrity-five year career of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The articles are great because they are from the time the events in the band's career were actually unfolding and you don't get that filtered look of biographies that were written years later. The more interesting articles are from the early days especially ones by Lenny Kaye and Cameron Crowe. A worthwhile read for all fans of CSN&Y.

A riveting, exciting book.......2004-03-13

This book is riveting, even electrical, for anybody who wants an inside look at the music business. The selections are in interview form, so as you read, it feels like the music stars are sitting in nearby chairs as they detail inside stories, opinions and perspectives. The author/editor who put it together, Daved Zimmer, did a fantastic job, and no one came better prepared for the job. When Crosby was arrested, I saw that Mr. Zimmer was the one who the New York Times sought out for comment. Even if you are only distantly interested in CSN&Y, but are fascinated with the music biz, you will find the book hits the bulls-eye.

An Essential Read For All Music Fans.......2004-02-29

Thirty years ago my dad "accidentally" flooded the garage, destroying my carefully harvested collection of UK and US publications containing interviews with, articles about and occasional references to CSNY, who for me were "the" band of the early to late 1970's. This latest manifestation of Dave Zimmer's love for the music of, and fascination about the individuals in, the USA's first "supergroup" means I now have access again to many of those writings.

Ranging from 1970 to 2002 in terms of first publication, the articles and interviews cover the development of CSNY from a self confident, but untested, aggregation of individuals through to being elder statesmen of rock capable of selling out tours of major venues in the early 21st century. Although the primary ingredient is pieces that focus specifically on the band as a whole, Zimmer leavens the mix with items that focus on the individuals, using them to cast a more oblique and often revealing light on the activities and behaviour of the "main" band. Not surprisingly, the majority of the articles come from US publications; that said, these include both the usual suspects - primarily "Rolling Stone" and writers such as Cameron Crowe - and also less well known (at least in the UK) publications such as "Crawdaddy" and "Creem". There are, however, some significant pieces from UK publications such as "Melody Maker" and UK writers such as Roy Carr and Vicki Wickham.

Music is the central interest of Zimmer's selection of pieces. CSNY were, however, notable for the nature of their personal, as well as professional, lives and the issues are not shied away from. Some of it requires reading "between the lines", but such articles as Roy Carr's interview with David Geffen, Zimmer's own major interview with Graham Nash and the pieces on David Crosby's drug addiction deal with the issues head on.

Inevitably, there are some personal favourites that didn't survive what must have been a rigorous editing process. Dave Zimmer is, however, to be massively congratulated for delivering a consistent and coherent narrative thread and fitting together the jigsaw like pieces of 30 years of writing to present a clear and illuminating picture of one of the major popular musical outfits of the late 20th century. A worthy companion to his and Henry Ditz's "Crosby, Stills and Nash: The Biography".

Book Description

Updated and expanded: The definitive inside story of three musicians whose influence echoes from Woodstock to the present

Crosby, Stills & Nash created some of the most indelible songs and beautiful harmonies of the late 1960s and early 1970s: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Woodstock," "Teach Your Children." Now the story behind the songs has been told in this engrossing account of the trio's personal and musical history. Zimmer, with the full cooperation of the band, traces each of the performers from their early musical roots to their first song together in L.A.'s storied Laurel Canyon, from their addition of Neil Young to Woodstock, from their stormy years of creative conflicts through their reunions and reconciliations. A new chapter delves into Crosby's recovery from drug addiction, CSN's ongoing solo and group projects, and the making of the new CSN&Y album.

Customer Reviews:

reveals the men behind the legend.......2006-08-18

What a phenomenally detailed read this is. Dave Zimmer meticulously describes the early years of these three legends, gently leading us through the years of sixties rock until the three paths finally converged in CSN. The incredible photography of Henry Diltz is a perfect complement to Zimmer's text. Zimmer explores the complex personality and ego issues which led to supreme dissonance among the men whose voices blended in harmonies so beautiful as to defy description. Harmony well done requires a blending of the individual voices, which necessitates submerging egos. Individually, the creative genius of each member is awe-inspiring, but collectively the music of CSN is pure, unadulterated magic.

With the addition of Neil Young to the mix, Zimmer depicts four ultra-creative souls struggling to be heard as indivduals. Written with the band's cooperation, the book is filled with interviews and insightful quotes. The later years of CSN&Y sound like a high school clique-breaking up, reconciling, reconfiguring and excluding. Zimmer guides us through the decades, transitioning smoothly from one member of the band to the next as he describes the triumphs and tragedies following the glory years.

In a time when musicians are blacklisted for speaking out about political issues, it is refreshing to be reminded that at one time musicians who protested through their music were heroes to many of us.

Better than I expected!!!.......2004-09-20

I thought this book was great. Although I've been a CSN and CSNY fan my whole life, I'm only 25 so I wasn't around when Woodstock happened. This book gave me a new perspective on CSN and CSNY.

This group, to me, is right up there with the Beatles. Great harmony, great chemistry, great songs. And like the Beatles, they've endured their share of arguments and yet still manage to reach out to their fans with simple lyrics and songs.

I loved the biographical nature of the book. Sure, there were times I would have liked to have known what they were thinking as they wrote/sang a particular song, but I don't think this book was meant to discuss those details specifically. I loved reading about the bizarre details that few people know about them. There were many times I could not stop reading.

The only problem that I saw with the book was that there was not enough material. It can only go so far, but I would like to see an up-to-date version. When I finished, I felt like I could have read 100 more pages.

If you're a CSN/Y fan at all, you will not be disappointed. It will only leave you wanting more.

Too biographical..........2004-08-30

It is a biography, and so one should expect to be sauntered through the births, childhoods, teen years, and adulthoods of these three rock mega-stars. With that simple framework in hand an author should then consider, I believe, what the readers connection is to your subject. With David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, the obvious link is the music. There is also the rather chaotic, evolutionary decades of the sixties and seventies to be considered, which the music reflected and effected, as well as the more transient experiences most people had with the band, such as their concert appearances. But what I would guess most people really tune into when they read a book like this is the product the trio produced, which served as our "middle-man" to their individual and collective psyche, and creative spirits over those decades.

Even Graham Nash intones late in the book, "People have always tended to place far too much importance on the nature of the personal relationships between us, instead of what is created out of these relationships". Amen, Graham. You would think a light bulb should have ignited over author Dave Zimmer's head as he considered this statement, and allowed it to act like the beam from a lighthouse to guide his work. Instead that's exactly what the book focuses on. The first several chapters, of course, offer a succinct and necessary descriptive overview of each of the performers childhood roots. Once you're into the CSN and CSNY segments, however, the book devolves into tale after tale of how the boys couldn't play nice together. To be honest, I really don't care about their squabbling. I care about the music, and for the most part, the music took place independent of the squabbling. There is a place for the 'squabble-tales', such as when the music was a product of them, such as Nash's 'Wasted On the Way'. But most of the squabbles tended to damn rather than redeem the music. I really wish Zimmer would have taken liberties with, rather than literally pursuing the definition of 'biography'. Further editing could have been done with the tales of rock and roll excess. Did I really need to be told what great weed David Crosby was able to score? I probably would have ventured to guess that it was primo.

And what do you replace these ditties on the cutting floor with? More of the stories behind the music, which the book is not devoid of. There is a nice discourse on 'Wooden Ships' for instance. But by and large, vast segments of the CSN and Y catalog are ignored. Of the thirty-one songs recorded by Stills with Manassas, for instance, only a handful (yeah, I count five) are given any mention at all, and most of that information could have been gleaned from the album jackets. There have to be stories behind these songs, and since I don't spend much time with David, Stephen, and Graham, but do spend time with their music, it would be nice to know more about it. Gosh, what IS IT Stephen is wailing in Spanish while Graham and David do the "Do-do-do-do-do..." coda on 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes'? You won't find out here, though it's probably the most-asked question about their music.

I was going to give this work three stars, and probably should have, but it IS a biography and perhaps I'm being unfair in wanting it to be something it isn't. When the book 'Crosby, Stills and Nash: The Story Behind the Music' arrives, perhaps then I'll be happy. For now, if you want to hear about the naked ladies walking around Crosby's pad, or how Still's was cajoled into performing in an afro wig, this book is your baby! On the other hand, if you want to know what inspired Stills to dig back into the Buffalo Springfield catalog to graft 'Questions' onto 'Carry On', you'll have to be a bit more patient... and you may never know.

CSN---Blah,Blah,Blah..............2002-06-27

OK--I bought this book,because I really do love those guys---but I am sorry to say that the author's sugary treatment of his subjects are probably all that one is ever going to get of CSN. I know that Crosby has written an account. I wish that Graham would write a book--but out of respect for his Bandmates,probably won't---and that's a shame. Because I think he would write an honest account,of how things really went down.But the saddest thing is that Stephen will probably never write an honest,open account---too much pain to re-live,again.

A must!.......2001-08-11

This book is simply a must for anybody who wants to know what it is really like in the worlds of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. The author, Dave Zimmer, doesn't merely describe events, he takes you there to watch as an insider. In the process, the book captures all the vibrance of the best of their live concerts. I have met both Crosby and Stills, and can say that Zimmer hits the mark with these guys, time after time, including some little-known stories never before told. My favorite is Stills' reaction to Nash stealing his girlfriend -- well, you just have to read it for yourself! The photos are outstanding, showing the evolution of the rock stars in the past generation, but what really works is the way Zimmer has crafted the work, along with his intimate knowledge and ability to make Stills, Nash, Crosby, as well as Neil Young and others, to open up and spill their guts. This book is like a great movie. You keep going back to it, over and over, because of the way it makes you feel.

Rogan a fount of misinformation.......2000-06-14

Both of the Rogan books on CSN are full of half-truths, poorly researched descriptions, and lots of misinformation. David Crosby, according to a number of online comments, is definitely NOT a fan of Rogan. Forget this and Rogan's other book and get the real story in Dave Zimmer's book, Crosby Still and Nash, the Biography, or from Crosby's excellent autobiography.

a great book for fans.......1999-10-11

If you're into CSN(Y) this is a cool book. It's got lots of good pictures, nice anecdotes, and a lot of information about tour dates and the like. Of course, if your're not really so much of a fan, it won't do that much for you!

Very Disappointing Volume.......1999-09-12

The format of this book is more like a diary than any actual analysis of their music and impact. Focuses a bit overmuch on the trials and troubles of David Crosby. A bit sad that the group was viable for no more than a couple of years and to watch their talents deteriorate as the years went on. Rogan's Complete Guide was a lot better in terms of summing up their careers.

An outstanding accomplishment by author Zimmer. He takes you backstage, in the studio and to the homes of CS&N, and provides a remarkable, authentic picture of life with the gang. The author seems invisible, a stellar achievement, and the inside world of the pop music business and the artists that make it work come to life. The section on how Nash "stole the girl" from Stills, and their reaction, is priceless. I was able to make contact with the author, Dave Zimmer, who works for MCA records, and he says a new edition of the book will be out sometime in '99, in time for a landmark tour.
