Album of the Day

WILD TALES is the title of Graham Nash's autobiography but his 1974 album of that name also offers a look at the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's life and times. Confronted by romantic disappointments (“I Miss You”) and social concerns (“Prison Song”), Nash gets by with a little help from such friends as guitarists David Lindley and Dave Mason along with CSNY bandmates David Crosby and Neil Young (under the pseudonym “Joe Yankee”). Leavened with whimsy and energetic playing, these ten originals still resonate with listeners 50 years on. We'll wish Graham a happy birthday with another spin of the underrated WILD TALES. (edited)
