After The Storm - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Billboard Review: 8/27/1994

Fresh off their Woodstock redux, CS&N are indeed sounding young again, even though a highlight of their new set is a lovely, languorous cover of the Beatles "In My Life." The trademark Stills-Nash harmonies haven't lost a step yet, as evidenced on hypnotic "Find A Dream," which drops harmonica fills into a gurgling bass line to beautiful effect, and on the chorus to "Unequal Love," a sweet, spare ballad that adds Hammond to the mix. The band does seem out of step, though, on "street-wise" numbers like "Bad Boyz" and "Street To Lean On," though the latter rolls along nicely on a chugging chorus. For relevance, try instead "It Won't Go Away."
