TAS Rated 4.5/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sonics in the February 2019 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
Vinyl LP Features the Single "Glory"!
David Crosby, who turned 77 in August of 2018, has experienced a late career resurgence unlike almost any other in the history of rock & roll. Becca Stevens, Michael League and Michelle Willis backed Crosby on his tour in support of 2016's acclaimed Lighthouse album, and BrooklynVegan said of the quartet's NYC show at Town Hall, "they also clearly help him sound great. Crosby's voice has aged wonderfully, but youd have to assume the younger singers' harmonies are part of what made everything sound so rich last night." This project reflects the collaboration with that amazing group.
"The spare, chamber-like sonics provide an elegiacal backdrop for stark guitars and ethereal backing vocals provided by returning Crosby collaborators Becca Stevens, Michelle Willis, and Michael league (collectively known as the Lighthouse Band). Dark humor abounds in the plainly bogus self-criticism Crosby jauntily admits in "I Am No Artist" (lyrics by the late poet Jane Tyson Clement), but eerie, impressionistic musings such as "Other Half Rules", all silky, jazzy harmonies intertwining with chiming guitars, convey a murky sense of relationship complexities. In a nice touch, Crosby concludes with a tender, acoustic guitar-and-vocals treatment of "Woodstock", less an homage to his past than a heartfelt tribute to his ailing ex- Joni Mitchell - the most touching of many touching moments Crosby delivers here." - David McGee, The Absolute Sound, February 2019
