While I sat on the floor watching Graham Nash play The Hollies' 1966 hit "Bus Stop," I caught a glimpse of the same transistor radio I had as a kid when that song filled the AM radio airwaves. It was surreal and beautiful.
Nash has a voice that resonates and cuts to the core. When he played the title track from his forthcoming solo album This Path Tonight, I was moved by the clarity and quality of his tone. His lucid songwriting displays the deep introspection that comes with age; he's 74 and as insightful as ever. Along with guitarist Shane Fontayne, Nash played music that felt memorable, touching and as thoughtful as anything he made during his time with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
This Path Tonight is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/thi...

Bus Stop, 50 years old. Still sounds as fresh as when I first heard it.

@StefanGBucher 4 года назад

Written by Graham Gouldman of 10CC and Wax fame. With his dad. When he was still a teenager.

@danieljulian4676 2 года назад

But while you're waiting at the bus stop, don't stand so close to me. It's a great song, tho.

I realize this is 5 years old but it is new to me. I'm a life long musician and more recent also a song writer. I was blown away by Myself At Last. Wow! Beautiful chord changes and great meaningful lyrics. More people need to hear it.

I had the pleasure to see Crosby and Nash in concert a few years ago and they sounded as good as ever. This Tiny Desk series is the best thing since MTV's Unplugged. Thank you NPR.

@SteveSmekar-ll6ln 5 лет назад

Saw these guys 34 yrs ago, 1985, outside of Chicago. Raining down hard, but inside, warm and mellow vibes. Crosby was obviously not well with his liver/health issues and missed a portion of the show, nevertheless, it was great.

@safeandsound100 8 лет назад

Been a Nash fan since I first heard The Hollies way back in mid-60s. followed his career through CSN and beyond. What a treat then to come across this Tiny Desk Concert with Graham, an acoustic guitar and a second guitar and voice. Very nice. When I heard the first strains of Bus Stop I was hooked for the duration of the video. Loved it all... Glen Parker Avondale, N.S.,Canada

@maryjvanderwerken3192 2 года назад

That second guitar is Shane Fontayne, who slayed it when he played the incredible solo in Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. It's on you tube, and it's unforgettable. 🎶💙🎶

@Rcb4400 8 лет назад

Why won't they make recordings just like this. Forget about the studio and the multi tracks. This is as good as music gets

@jimmy5634 8 лет назад

+Rich B Because producers today think that's the way it has to be done. That's what they were told and they have the technology and by golly they're gonna use it.

@kylesaloka1563 7 лет назад

Rich B Well, studios and multitracks are good. the trick is to put these guys in a studio with the multitracks rolling away, and have them play live right there. maybe throw some backing vocals in later? bass? keys? you get the point. But what really kills the music is stuff like autotune, cut and paste, dynamic range compression (an important tool, but much overused, especially on masters). I feel like this is how you make the best, most pure music. a mix of good gear and Recording techniques, and excellent musicians. forget technology.

@blmusic9249 5 лет назад

Great idea....

@blmusic9249 5 лет назад

kyle saloka I disagree.. sure you might as well do it properly if your multitracking. I would love to hear more musicians being captured live.. if you need a harmony, get another vocalist in etc.

@amandawilcox9638 4 года назад

@@jimmy5634 Put a chunk of the blame on Phil Spector. He started doing all that layering and "sound on sound" noise in the early sixties. It may have worked ok on some of the girl group records, but muddied lots of other music badly. Imltho.

Bus Stop takes me back to being in Junior High in Kansas City, MO in the late sixties and very early seventies.Sleeping in a pup tent in the backyard under a huge black walnut tree. I had a little transistor radio I got from Sunday School attendance, and in the dark of night I could pull in radio stations from New Orleans, Chicago, San Antonio. Hearing these sixties tunes and fifties doo wap and such.
