Crosby, Stills & Nash was a folk rock supergroup made up of American singer-songwriters David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and English singer-songwriter Graham Nash. CSN's 1969 self-titled debut album is one the true masterpieces of the rock 'n' roll genre; together the group put an original twist on folk, country, blues, and rock, topped by their masterfully blended three-part harmonies.

The trio of vocalists / guitarists which forged this group each came from successful 1960s pop/rock acts. David Crosby was from The Byrds, and Stephen Stills played in Buffalo Springfield, both Southern California folk/rock groups, while Graham Nash was from the British pop group The Hollies. Many credit CSN's debut album for helping spawn the prolific soft rock groups of the 1970s, which would dominate the pop charts through that decade.

Musically, Stills took the lead role by providing most of the lead guitars, bass, and keyboards along with his vocal parts. Crosby and Nash each added some acoustic and/or rhythm guitar along with their vocals, with Dallas Taylor providing drums. The iconic album cover shows the three band mates sitting on a couch in front of an abandoned home, just days before that dwelling was torn down.

This album instantly lifted the band to stardom. The album features some of their best-known songs, including "Helplessly Hoping," "Long Time Gone," "Suit: Judy Blue Eyes," "Wooden Ships" and "Marrakesh Express." The album won CSN the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1970; in 1999 the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Crosby, Stills & Nash No. 259 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, then reranked it No. 262 in 2012.

Ground-breaking music perfection deserves definitive sound and top-notch packaging.
