Croz
Is David Crosby about to enter the most prolific period of his musical career? With his pianist son’s able assistance, there might just be hope.
It's been 20 years since David Crosby released a collection of new songs, but he's hardly been quiet in those two decades.
David Crosby's first solo album in two decades is pleasingly diverse, writes <strong>Molloy Woodcraft</strong>
Croz is everything a David Crosby album should be. That’s not to say it’s the sound of laurels being rested on or evidence of an artist coasting and returning to default settings. Rather, that instead it’s a statement of who this man is and why he is unique. The album – his first solo outing in 20 years – is crammed with jazzy arrangements and melodic shifts. The warm yet spare instrumentation is sympathetic and instantly identifiable as Crosby’s. The lyrics, observational and personalised, are never predictable.
