he photograph of David Crosby's
face that graces the cover of his new
solo album, Croz, doesn't lie. It features the legendary rock icon peering off to
what appears to be an unknown future,
peppered with equal levels of wonderment
and apprehension. For David Crosby, it
has been a long time gone.
Twenty years after the release of his last
solo studio album (1993's Thousand Roads),
Crosby rebounds with what is arguably his
strongest effort outside of the CSNY family of recordings. Mostly co-written and
produced by James Raymond (Crosby's
long lost son who he re-connected with in
the 1990s), Croz serves up a more experimental, jazzier side of David Crosby, effectively blending haunting acoustic ballads
with meatier band-driven rock tracks.
Croz, with all its different musical sides, is
both ethereal and in your face.
Now, with a short window of time
available before he returns to the road with
Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, David
Crosby is taking the music of Croz, and a
musical retrospective of his entire career,
on the road. He stops in Chicago for two
nights at City Winery, February 8th and
9th.
Accompanying Crosby on the road are
James Raymond (keyboards), Shane
Fontayne (guitar), Kevin McCormick
(bass), Steve DiStanislao (drums, percussion), and Marcus Eaton (guitar). They all
appear on Croz, along with guests Wynton
Marsalis ("Holding On To Nothing"), Mark
Knopfler ("What's Broken"), Leland Sklar
("Find A Heart") and Steve Tavaglione
("Morning Falling," "Find A Heart").
David Crosby sat down recently to talk
about the new album and tour, and the five
decades that shaped the life and times of
this music legend. As he sang in the 1965
Byrds classic: "So you want to be a rock'n'roll star; now listen then, to what I say..."
