Various - Be Yourself - A tribute to Graham Nash's 'songs for beginners'
CD | GRRCD17
CO-OP
Legendary singer-songwriter Graham Nash's emotionally-charged solo debut "Songs For Beginners" was first released in 1971 and came on the heels of a temporary split with his CSN band mates, David Crosby and Stephen Stills, and a permanent break with his then-love, Joni Mitchell. Consistently recognized throughout his career as a part of CSN and as a solo artist as an exceptional album, standing the test of time for nearly 40 years.
Roll on 2010, Nile Nash & Britt Govea of (((folkYEAH!))) have assembled an all-star line-up of celebrated contemporary artists such as Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes), Brendan Benson, Vetiver, Alela Diane, Sleepy Sun, Mariee Sioux & Greg Weeks (from Espers), Port O Brien with The Papercuts, The Moore Brothers and Graham's own daughter, Nile Nash for a dazzling re-working of an exceptional piece of work.
They all honor and celebrate Graham's first solo LP, bringing new sentiment into timeless songs and introducing a seminal album to a new generation of music lovers.
