The genesis of the album lies in recordings made byStephen StillsandGraham Nashat intervals in 1980 and 1981 and the album was originally slated to be a StillsNash project. They employedArt Garfunkel,Timothy B. Schmit, and others to sing in place of whereDavid Crosbymight have been. Executives atAtlantic Records, however, had little interest in anything but CSN product from any member of the group, and held out for the presence of Crosby, forcing Nash and Stills to start paying for the sessions out-of-pocket.[4]They began to turn toward the company’s point of view, however, and decided to invite Crosby to participate at the eleventh hour.

Crosby brought two of his own tracks to the album, “Delta,” where Stills and Nash squeezed their vocals into Crosby’s already-tapedmulti-trackedharmonies, and “Might As Well Have a Good Time,” which received the bona fide Crosby, Stills & Nash treatment.[5]Most of the recording, however, features other voices in addition to the main trio, a first for any CSNY record, as is the number of outside writers. Graham Nash wrote the album’s biggest hit, “Wasted on the Way,” about the time the group spent in squabbles and diversions rather than concentrating on their music. The song “Daylight Again” evolved out of Stills’ guitar-picking to accompany on-stage stories regarding theSouthin theCivil War, segueing into “Find the Cost of Freedom,” which had been theb-sideof the “Ohio” single in 1970.[6]

As the first album by the band in thevideoage, a music video was filmed to accompany “Southern Cross” featuring the band and one of their favorite metaphors, a sailing vessel. It received a fair amount of rotation onMTVin 1982 and 1983, and helped to propel the album’s sales.
