David Crosby

THE FOLK-ROCK ICON FINDS REDEMPTION IN REFLECTION IN HIS CREATIVE, COLLABORATIVE NEW RECORD, HERE IF YOU LISTEN

David Crosby is living evidence that there is no justice in the world. Despite all his past near-death scrapes, incarceration and general fulfilment of the rock ’n’ rollfantasy, he has a rich family life, money in the bank and a career that has recently enjoyed a rejuvenation. It’s the sort of forward momentum that his 60s peers must regard enviously. At 77, his voice sounds remarkable, not just ‘for his age’ – but by any measure.

“I know! It doesn’t make any sense at all, man,” he tells TG, when we comment on the unjustifiably good shape of his vocal pipes. “I don’t know why it is like it is, but I figure this: if it’s going to be this good – and it’s really good, right now. I’m singing really well – I should just work the hell out of it and run it until the wheels come off. So that’s what I’m doing!”
