Daylight Again [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In 1982, there were few groups as out of phase as CSN. Their supergroup status once lionized in the late '60s and early '70s had turned into liability. Viewed as fossils by the emerging MTV generation, they steadfastly stood with their heartfelt idealistic politics on their sleeve. Produced by El Lay producer extraordinaire Craig Doerge (known mostly for adding synthesizer to the work of Jackson Browne among others) and Stanley Johnson, Daylight Again features several noteworthy songs. "Wasted on the Way," "Southern Cross," and "Into the Darkness" are among the more substantial contributions from these musicians struggling to find their place in a world clearly getting away from them. --Rob O'Connor

EXCELLENT!.......2007-05-28

My most CSN(Y) album. I LOVE "Delta" most of all but in all actuality, I love all of the songs :) But "Delta" pulls at my heartstrings for some reason. I listen to it quite often. :) David Crosby has the voice on an angel.

Thanks for a job well done guys and thanks to you Amazon for selling this FANTASTIC piece of musical art.

this is sweet. had it on tape and worn it out an long time ago. never could find it agian until amazon.. thank you. laurie

If you don't like this album check your pulse........2006-12-30

Many of the songs here made it to the Greatest Hits CD. In fact, I went to my music-downloading site to see if indeed it was a compilation! Check out the great rocking songs: "Wasted On The Way", "Southern Cross", "Since I Met You". And there is the wonderfully subdued "Delta" and "Daylight Again." Also, "Might As Well Have A Good Time" is also pretty good. Guess what: out of 11 songs only maybe 4 are filler. This is a statistically bizarre situation. Most albums by artists have one good song and the rest suck. I suspect that for many CSN fans who give it four stars, if the CD actually has hits on it that means the artists "sold out." I guess they are just frustrated musicians. God help us.

My Always Album.......2006-11-04

Long time CSN&Y&anyone else they collaborate with fan, I welcomed this collection originally as a tape. ON first hearing, it became my favorite for road trips, traffic gridlock,kitchen clean up, or other jobs around the house. The mellow mood seems right for most of mine. I wore out the tape version, so the CD was the next logical step.

Their weakest release.......2005-10-14

Save for the classic "Southern Cross" which is actually covered better by Jimmy Buffett, unsurprisingly, this album is the weakest ever released by the trio. I'd rec skipping it.

Album Description

One of the most enduring musical partnerships of our time, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Crosby, Stills & Nash are revered for their peerless vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting and musical virtuosity. When the trio first sang together at a friend's Laurel Canyon house in 1968, their uncanny harmonic convergence was immediately apparent, and CSN took shape. Each member came to the new venture from other high-profile bands-Crosby from the Byrds, Stills from Buffalo Springfield, and Nash from the Hollies-and together, they formed that rarest of musical entities, a "supergroup" that lived up to its billing. CSN's 1969 self-titled debut album is one of the true masterpieces of the rock 'n' roll canon, and 1982's Daylight Again is a brilliant portrait of their musical evolution. Still touring and recording together, CSN is an American treasure.

Customer Reviews:

A solid effort.......2007-04-03

This was a solid effort, not as good as their ealier stuff, but better than a lot that would come later. This album was a top ten hit in the US when it was released in 1982 and produced two hit singles "Wasted on the Way" and "Southern Cross" and a third minor hit "Too Much Love To Hide". Other strong songs include "Into the Darkness" and "Daylight Again", which is an excellent update of the Stills classic "Find the Cost of Freedom". This release is helped by the addition of 4 bonus tracks not included on the original release.

Music: Good, not great; Remastering: Terrible.......2007-03-13

For those confused over the various comments about Crosby's participatation in the project, the liner notes by David Fricke, which cite quotes by CS&N, confirms that he did indeed contribute several dubbed vocals. In the places where Crosby's approach to the harmony was better than Michael Finnegan's or Art Garfunkel's, they subbed the Crosby dub. Otherwise, they went with the originals, or, in at least one case, used everything they had.

Some of the songs are weak, no doubt; but overall, there's some great songwriting, singing and playing here. The biggest problem is that they didn't correct the problems of the original production with the remastering. The version of the CD I have lists Rhino rather than WEA as the Atlantic Records partner, and it's an HDCD. But on a regular CD player (even a really good one), the highs are virtually nonexistant, and the bottom end is in places too dominating -- and muddy to boot. Haven't had a chance to check the HDCD layer yet, but if you don't have an HDCD player, you're unlikely to get the most out of this reissue.

Another Great CD From Three Righteous Singer/Songwriters.......2007-01-23

DAYLIGHT AGAIN is yet another great CD from Crosby, Stills & Nash. Many of the songs here have lyrics that describe the horrors of ANY kind of addiction (these were clearly aimed by Stephen Stills and Graham Nash at bandmate David Crosby, who was at his drug-addled worst at the time), and inspired me to hang up pictures of attractive female celebrities as a deterrent to self indulgence. Other songs are about escaping the past, and inspired me to make looking good for these celebrities a higher priority than food-related reunions at my old school. The fact that CSN (and Y), like virtually all 60s/70s/early 80s rock artists (except Cat Stevens) believe that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was wrongfully convicted makes DAYLIGHT AGAIN an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

Now THAT'S more like it!.......2006-10-23

It's not exactly improving on the wheel, but this reissue of part three in the Crosby, Stills and Nash trilogy (1969's 'Crosby, Stills & Nash', 1977's 'CSN', and this puppy) accomplishes two goals: remastering the original mix to accomodate the vast potential of the digital format, and beginning the reclamation of lost tracks from the era. In addition to the original eleven track album, purchasers will be treated to four bonus tracks, two of which are fine Stephen Stills compositions, one a rehash of David Crosby's paltry contribution to the disc, and the last a Stills and Nash composition that originally appeared on the litigated-out-of-sight-but-not-out-of-mind CSN orphan, 'Allies', which was released in 1983. Apparently the song that has caused all the commotion, Stephen's fine 'War Games', remains on someone's blacklist... otherwise you might think that would be appearing here as well. Nevertheless, the Stills-Nash collaboration 'Raise a Voice' has finally been liberated from Limbo. The track is an optimistic look at social activism, and perhaps the sweetest Stills-Nash track in the entire CSN body of work.

There are some well-written liner notes from Rolling Stone essayist David Fricke, which reveal that not only was this album originally submitted as a Stills and Nash collaboration, but that it was summarily rejected by Atlantic Records until David Crosby could be signed on. You would think by this time that the poster boys of the Woodstock generation would be calling their own shots, and that they would opt for artistic freedom and authenticity, but even Graham Nash is quoted as saying, "What would a Stills-Nash record sell compared to a CSN album?" I can't argue with the answer, but tacking on a couple Crosby misfits (only one of which was penned by Crosby) and calling it a Crosby, Stills and Nash album seems less than genuine, especially since the harmonies that made their name are nowhere to be found on the finished product. In fact, including the bonus tracks, Graham Nash only contributes three compositions, making this more than anything else a Stephen Stills solo album.

And looked at from the perspective of a Stephen Stills fan... what an album it is! Stephen rocks hardy on no less than five tracks ('Turn Your Back On Love', 'Southern Cross', 'Since I Met You', 'Too Much Love To Hide' and 'Tomorrow Is Another Day'), and contributes solid acoustic fare with 'You Are Alive', 'Daylight Again', and 'Feel Your Love'. Clearly, Stephen had captured a creative second wind following a couple of weaker solo efforts from the late 1970's ('Illegal Stills' and 'Thoroughfare Gap'), not to mention an off-center collaboration with Neil Young in 1976, 'Long May You Run'. These contributions from Stills are lyrically strong. Consider "Turn your mind into a window, and the listener will lead who follows" from 'Too Much Love To Hide', or "You're dying to prove that you are never wrong, you're so right you'd rather be sad, but you won't go along" from 'Turn Your Back On Love'. Stephen also jams exquisitely on his guitar on songs such as 'Since I Met You' and 'Tomorrow Is Another Day'.

Nash also makes some fine contributions, in particular the melodious Top Ten hit single from the disc, 'Wasted On the Way'. 'Song For Susan' proclaims Nash's deep love for his wife every bit as clearly as 'Into the Darkness' speaks to friend David Crosby's nearly suicidal addiction to hard drugs ("I see your face, it is ghostly pale, into the sunset, we are watching you sail"). Crosby somehow managed to unleash his own meaningful moment on 'Daylight Again' through the appropriately hazy lyrics of 'Delta', and to a lesser degree on a worthy composition by keyboardist Craig Doerge and wife Judy Henske, 'Might As Well Have a Good Time' (which is reprised in the bonus tracks with an unremarkable demo version). These are low-key affairs however for someone with the bombastic image of David Crosby.

It's unfortunate that the bonus tracks could not inlude Stephen's synthesizer-driven 'War Games', one of the few songs which justified the abundant use of that instrument in the 1980's. Nevertheless, the presence of these excellent bonus tracks has significantly elevated the stature of the most maligned studio album by the trio. The package includes the lyrics... even the lyrics for the bonus tracks... giving the impression that the band was willing to go the extra mile to beef this one up. So trade in your old, stalling 1990 version for this upgrade... it will drive you out of the darkness and into the daylight again!

schnit stills & nash.......2006-07-25

This album qualifies as one of the biggest scams in rock-Crosby wasn't even on the album. Most of the vocals he would have done were supplied by one of the most talented and under-rated singers in the business-Mr. Timothy B. Schmit who did tons of studio work with little recognition when the Eagles were on hiatus.
Do yourself a favour and buy Timothy's album *Feed the Fire* instead of this farce.

trilogy complete!.......2005-07-04

`Daylight Again' concludes the trilogy of collectible Crosby, Stills and Nash releases. The album shares many traits with its predecessor, `CSN', with its heavy focus on relationship based themes, solid composing and superb musicianship. You would be hard pressed to find here any of the social commentary the debut `Crosby, Stills and Nash' album was laden with, yet over their 13 year association the artists have certainly matured and developed a style that `Daylight Again' brings full circle. In the three albums, there is the sense that the three musicians have completed a mission of sorts. `Daylight Again' concludes what feels to be a complete body of work.

It is well known that David Crosby's drug problems greatly limited his involvement in this project. While `Delta' is a strong composition, Crosby's only other contribution, `Might As Well Have a Good Time' wasn't penned by Crosby, and neither song does much to highlight the singer's considerable vocal talents. Crosby was apparently so compromised that the bulk of the album lacks the harmonies which are the hallmark of the trio. Vocal contributions by Eagle Timothy B. Schmitt, keyboardist Michael Finnigan, and even Art Garfunkle on the title track help mask the funk Crosby was in, but no suitable surrogate could spawn their signature synthesis of sound.

Fortunately, all was not lost. There is nothing like a void to usher in a personality as strong as Stephen Stills', and Stephen ably ushers himself in. He pens half the songs on the disc, and every last one is a winner. `Southern Cross' has become a classic, after ascending to number 18 on the national charts in 1982. `Turn Your Back On Love', the opener on the disc, along with `Since I Met You' and `Too Much Love To Hide' are gritty, catchy tunes bursting with a sound Stills had been honing throughout his career (hear the similarity between `Too Much Love...' and `Circlin' from 1976's `Illegal Stills'). `You Are Alive' is more laid back, but with a sound pulse and thoughtful lyrics. The CD concludes on another Stills tune, wedding the title track with `Find the Cost of Freedom', a Revolutionary War melody used by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to close out performances on their legendary tours circa 1970. All in all, it's a wonderful collection of music from a performer many had written off after a lackluster `Thoroughfare Gap' solo effort four years previous.

Despite Stills' dominance on the disc, Graham Nash posts a solid effort as well. `Into the Darkness' is, in retrospect, a haunting tune given his close friend Crosby's drug abuse. It is difficult to listen to without imagining that Crosby was the lone target of its message. The song is every bit as effectual as Neil Young's `The Needle and the Damage Done', and is certainly the hardest rock number Nash has offered this side of `Pre-Road Downs'. Nash also pens `Wasted On the Way', a nostalgic, autobiographical song about the trio. Although it never broke into the Top-40, the song received considerable airplay and has become a staple of CSN concerts. The third Nash composition, `Song For Susan', is a fine, touching, romantic ballad. All of Nash's songs on `Daylight Again' are emotionally
moving, sincere, and musically appealing.

`Daylight Again', as it has turned out, is the swan song for Crosby, Stills and Nash. None of their other releases from the 1980's or 1990's can approximate the musical genius possessed by their first three efforts together, even with Crosby's debilitation in round three. If you enjoy the varied talents and virtuosity these artists blend together, all three discs are a must to own. Start with whichever one you can set your hands on first.

Customer Reviews:

lovely singing- poor sound.......2000-04-09

It's always a pleasure listening to Alain Vanzo - the 'Nadir' of this live highlights recording. Spoorenberg also is in very good voice, though I've never heard of her before or since. The 'Nourabad' and 'Zurga' are no less than average.

So, the singing is lovely, sometimes even wonderful. Why then is it only a three star recording? Well, it's a highlights-edition without the libretto (meaning that noone really understands what this is all about). It's also recorded live, not always bad from a theatrical point of view, but the sound quality of this recording is unfortunately rather poor.

But, if the beauty of the singing itself means more to You than the sound quality, and if You like the idea of the essence of an opera caught on one disc instead of two, this is very good listening for hardly no money at all.

This recording was my first version of 'the pearlfishers', and I loved it. Today, when I own three versions of the opera, my first choice is the Vanzo/Micheau/Bacquier complete 1959 live recording with Rosenthal conducting. Although, for newcomers to the opera, I can recommend this recording as an introduction to some of the loveliest music ever written!

Fresh, dynamic jazz with a soul.......1999-08-30

A class act all the way. From the thoughtful, almost wistful "Valerie" to the powerful and sophisticated "Complex Circumstances" (which includes a wonderful dialogue between piano and guitar), you will thoroughly enjoy this recording. Engaging poetry and stellar voice and musicianship make this a must-have for the jazz enthusiast.

Daylight Again is a very cool mix of funky, jazzy songs........1999-08-24

I've heard the Duda band live,he always uses great musicians. This CD is all original music and the music is something that you will want to hear over and over again. It has a creative edge to it that a lot of the smooth jazz albums are lacking. There's a cool mix of funk, jazz, melody and soul in the music. It is something that you should definetly listen to.
