Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You might think this is another case of hippie veterans playing their Classic Album. You'd be wrong.
The album from which most of these 16 songs are drawn is Neil Young's Living With War, whose 2006 release was promoted by the reunion tour with Crosby, Stills & Nash. This is, then, the soundtrack to the tour film CSNY/Deja Vu, with iconic selections from his old chums – including "Teach Your Children", "Deja Vu" and a stirring eight-minute centrepiece of "Wooden Ships" – featuring versions of Young's newer songs such as "Shock and Awe".
The effect is to downplay Young's creative vitality compared with his ex-partners, despite none of his new material possessing the impact of those Sixties anthems. It is, however, only Young's tortured lead guitar that animates Nash's "Military Madness". The best track, though, remains the a cappella communion of group and audience on Crosby's opener "What Are Their Names?".
Pick of the album:'What Are Their Names?', 'Wooden Ships'
