Comment:

Nobody, no matter how original, springs out of a vacuum; it's your peers, your colleagues, your [i]competition[/i] that make you what you are. And part of the reason Neil is what he is . . . is because these artists are who [i]they[/i] are. The unlikely city of Burbank, California, became the singer-songwriter movement's spiritual HQ when its hometown label, Warner Bros. Records, hit the all-time trifecta of James Taylor, Neil Young, and fellow Canadian ex-pat Joni Mitchell. Joni, penning the dreamily sweet coming-of-age ballad "The Circle Game" as a response to Neil's "Sugar Mountain," comes across with the intricate elegance of a Fabergé egg, while James Taylor rambles and twangs like a mud-caked VW van in the country-folk of "Country Road." And despite the sibling rivalry that broke up — and reunited — the band that occasionally featured Neil, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash are each critical elements in the CSN&Y machine, and the insight you'll get from hearing them solo will just make you appreciate their collective impact even more. From the Eagles and Little Feat to Richard and Linda Thompson and Jackson Browne, we've got the singers, the songwriters — and the bands they spawned — that shared the airwaves back when Neil was young.
