David Crosby Announces New Album for Free DAVID CROSBY CONTINUES HIS LATE PERIOD RENAISSANCE WITH STUNNING UPCOMING ALBUM ‘FOR FREE’ Featuring collaborates with Michael McDonald, Sarah Jarosz and Donald Fagen LISTEN TO FIRST SINGLE “RIVER RISE”, FEATURING MCDONALD HERE For Free - July 23rd 2021 via BMG On his upcoming album For Free, releasing July 23rd via BMG, David Crosby shares the latest offering from a life devoted to the pure and powerful alchemy of music. Arriving just a month before his 80th birthday, For Free finds the folk-rock legend continuing to tap into the tremendous surge of creativity he’s experienced since the making of his acclaimed 2016 album Lighthouse, this time collaborating with the likes of Michael McDonald, Donald Fagen of Steely Dan, and multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Sarah Jarosz. With a transcendent quality that lies somewhere between poetry, prayer, and wild-eyed rock-and-roll, For Free yet again reveals Crosby’s rare gift for imparting essential truths with both undeniable warmth and a profound sense of wonder. Made with his son James Raymond (a multi-instrumentalist who also served as the album’s producer), For Free features a number of the musicians who joined Crosby on 2017’s Sky Trails, including saxophonist Steve Tavaglione and drummer Steve DiStanislao. Although much of the album encompasses the intricate textures and complex grooves signature to the Sky Trails Band sound, its title comes from Crosby’s gorgeously sparse cover of a Joni Mitchell classic he’s returned to many times over the years. “Joni’s the greatest living singer/songwriter, and ‘For Free’ is one of her simplest,” notes Crosby, who’s accompanied by Jarosz on the track. “It’s one of my favorite songs because I love what it says about the spirit of music and what compels you to play.” True to the original version, “For Free” unfolds in a delicate piano-based arrangement, with Jarosz and Crosby’s voices channeling awe and sorrow to spellbinding effect. The follow-up to Here If You Listen—a 2018 album created with Michael League of Snarky Puppy, Michelle Willis, and Becca Stevens, who also collaborated with Crosby on Lighthouse—For Free opens on “River Rise”: a majestic and massively uplifting number co-written with Raymond and McDonald, who also lends his iconic vocals to the song’s soaring harmonies. “‘River Rise’ came from wanting to write something very evocative of California, but almost with a country-song perspective—something that speaks to the empowerment of the everyman or everywoman,” says Raymond. In a particularly meaningful turn for Crosby, For Free also includes a track penned by Fagen expressly for the album. “Steely Dan’s my favorite band and I’ve admired Donald a long time, so that was a thrill for us,” he says. A sharply detailed portrait of outlaws, angels, and drugstore cowboys, “Rodriguez For A Night” merges Fagen’s sophisticated storytelling with Crosby’s warmly commanding vocal presence, ultimately making for a glorious collision of worlds. Crosby taps another friend for the album’s striking cover art, using a portrait Joan Baez painted of him. 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e [email protected] www.republicmedia.net @republic_media As the most recent achievement in an unparalleled career—one that’s included co-founding such culture- defining bands as The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (both of whom have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame); collaborating with the likes of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, and Carole King and gaining entrée into the illustrious Songwriters Hall of Fame —For Free draws much of its power from the rarefied chemistry between Crosby and Raymond. “Can you imagine what it’s like to connect with your son and find out that he’s incredibly talented—a great composer, a great poet, and a really fine songwriter and musician all around?” Crosby asks. “We’re such good friends and we work so well together, and we’ll each go to any length to create the highest-quality songs we can.” For the final track on For Free, Crosby selected a piece written solely by Raymond, the gently devastating “I Won’t Stay for Long.” Inspired by Marcel Camus’s 1959 film Black Orpheus—a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and his attempt to bring his wife Eurydice back from the dead—the song centers on an exquisite vocal performance from Crosby, who mines an entire world of emotion from each finely crafted lyric (e.g., “I’m facing the squall line/Of a thousand year storm/I don’t know if I’m dying/Or about to be born”). “‘I Won’t Stay for Long’ is my favorite song on the record—I’ve listened to it 100 times now and it still reaches out and grabs me, it’s so painfully beautiful,” says Crosby. “I did end up getting a pretty stunning vocal on it, because it meant so much to me that I sang the hell out of it. One thing James and I both believe is that songs are an art form and a treasure—so when a song comes along that’s as good as that one, we’ll just give it everything we got.” David Crosby online WESBITE / TWITTER / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM For further information contact, Republic Media, [email protected] Unsubscribe 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e [email protected] www.republicmedia.net @republic_media .

David Crosby was a sweet-voiced member of the legendary rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. David Crosby, the outspoken founding member of CSNY and The Byrds, turns his wry and unstinting eye to a fascinating, prickly subject: himself. Known to millions as the trickster poster boy for folkrock utopia and the inspiration for Dennis Hopper's wild-eyed antihero in the film Easy Rider, David Crosby is every bit the quintessential American icon of the counterculture today that he was in the sixties and seventies.

  • Mar/Apr 2018 Volume 22, Issue 1
    Bimonthly Publication of the Central Florida Jazz Society BLUE MAR/APR 2018 VOLUME 22, ISSUE 1 NOTES No one would ever call David Crosby a jazz singer. Yet the singer‐songwriter’s music—his guitar tunings, chording and vocal phrasing, his insatiable desire to step out of bounds—has been informed by jazz since he first appeared on the scene in the mid‐’60s as an original member of the Byrds. While neither that group nor Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) ever steered toward jazz in an overt manner, Crosby’s lifelong love for the music has, at times, poked through and made itself known. In 1970, no less than Miles Davis picked up on and covered “Guinnevere,” a ballad Crosby had written the previous year for the debut CSN album (more on that in a minute). That song found its way into a new jazz‐based arrangement in 2013, when Crosby, Stills & Nash collaborated with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for a pair of New York concerts. With Stephen Stills sitting it out, Crosby, playing acoustic guitar, and Nash harmonized while Marsalis blew muted trumpet. What few CSN fans could have guessed that night was that the trio’s long run was winding down. CSN’s breakup arrived unceremoniously in 2016 amidst their latest spat—some 47 years after they formed—but by then Crosby’s head was already elsewhere. In 2014 he’d released Croz, his first solo album in 20 years—with Marsalis among the guests. The album, like many of Crosby’s extracurricular projects of the past two decades, also features multi‐instrumentalist/vocalist James Raymond, the talented son Crosby didn’t know he had until Raymond had already reached his 30s.
