Crosby, Stills & Nash – ‘Marrakesh Express’
Nash was born in Lancashire in northern England in 1942. He founded The Hollies with Allan Clarke in 1962 and remained with the band up until 1968, performing on songs such as ‘Just One Look’, ‘Here I Go Again’ and ‘I Can’t Let Go’.
After meeting Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield) and David Crosby (The Byrds), Nash moved to California and co-founded Crosby, Stills & Nash. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1969, giving rise to folk rock staples such as ‘Guinnevere’ and ‘Wooden Ships’.
Neil Young soon joined the band, whose name was updated to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The quartet’s debut album, Déjà Vu, arrived in 1970 and sprouted the majority of their best-known songs, including the Nash-penned ‘Teach Your Children’ and ‘Our House’.
Nash has been releasing solo records since the early 1970s; his latest solo LP, Now, came out in May 2023. His CSN band mate David Crosby died in January 2023 at the age of 81.
