“On some of these songs you really hear us becoming a band, trying out different ideas in our songwriting and singing and harmonies. It really is a time capsule.”  -Graham Nash, as told to Billboard
   
After four decades as “three together,” the creative partnership of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash remains active and strong - the late 60s/early 70s supergroup continue to tour and record as CSN (among other configurations) to this very day. DEMOS, which was produced by Graham Nash and Joel Bernstein, takes us back to the beginning, offering an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the earliest days of their musical collaboration. Featuring 12 previously unreleased group and solo demos recorded between 1968 and 1971, it spotlights destined-to-be-classic songs that would later be featured on CSN's studio albums and solo titles.  

While a number of demos showcase members performing solo, the set opens with the threesome harmonizing on “Marrakesh Express,” recorded four months before the song was officially introduced on CSN's self-titled 1969 debut LP (now one of Rolling Stone's 500 Great Albums of All Time). Also from Crosby, Stills & Nash is an original version of “Long Time Gone” performed by Crosby and Stills. Their next album-CSN&Y's 1970 #1 LP Déjà Vu, another “500 Greatest”- is represented on DEMOS with Crosby's solo takes on two songs, “Almost Cut My Hair” and the title track.  
 
Another selection, “Music Is Love,” finds Crosby and Nash joined by Neil Young-the three co-wrote the song, which appeared on Crosby's 1971 solo debut If I Could Only Remember My Name. Other highlights include seminal solo versions of Stills' hit “Love The One You're With”-from his self-titled 1970 solo debut-and Nash's politically charged “Chicago.” The latter is one of three songs featured from Nash's 1971 solo debut, Songs For Beginners, which was recorded at the famed Wally Heider studios-where most of the tracks on DEMOS were cut.
