If rock had a yearbook during the early â80s, David Crosby could have appeared with the designation, âMost Likely to Need CPR.â The once drug-addled singer-songwriter with the bulging belly made the late Jerry Garcia and Keith Richards look healthy by comparison. âI had a lot of issues,â Crosby says. âI could have died. Itâs amazing Iâm still here, considering all thatâs been wrong with me.â Crosby, 74, has lived through hepatitis C and diabetes. He has had a liver transplant, not to mention well-known issues with drugs and alcohol. âI fell into traps that so many of my friends fell into and they didnât make it out but somehow Iâm still here,â Crosby says. âItâs an amazing thing.â So is the output by his longtime band, Crosby, Stills and Nash, which will perform to a sold-out crowd Monday at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The prolific trio, which formed in 1968, has crafted thoughtful, political rock with deep vocal harmonies for generations. âWeâve done this for so long, since we love working with each other,â Crosby says. âItâs been very satisfying.â The gentle âOur House,â the gorgeous tribute to Judy Collins, âSuite: Judy Blue Eyesâ and the jaunty âMarrakesh Expressâ are C, S& N classics and part of the pop-rock lexicon. âI think weâve written and recorded some terrific songs that stand the test of time,â Crosby says. Part of what makes the band â and their tunes â so special is the distinct characters: Graham Nash is the charming Brit; Stephen Stills is the witty, gifted multi-instrumentalist; and the quirky Crosby is one of the most beloved characters in rock. âThereâs nobody like David,â former Byrds band mate Roger McGuinn says. âIt was great being in a band with him. We were so young, but we accomplished a great deal and he stood out.â Music was everything for Crosby during his early years. Crosby became a father when he was 21, but his son was given up for adoption. âIt was the right thing to do,â Crosby says. âAt that point in my life, I couldnât have taken care of a box of tissues, let alone a child.â Contributing to the theory that Crosby has led a charmed life is the fact that that the son, Jeff Raymond, reunited with Crosby during the 1990s. âIt was such a surprise and such a wonderful thing to meet him,â...

The year 1969 proved to be an epic one in the too-short history of Creedence Clearwater Revival. In that year alone, the band released three Top Ten albums, and had four hit singles and three charting B-sides. In addition to the incredible quantity and quality of their releases, the band also played the Woodstock music festival, played on the Ed Sullivan show twice and toured throughout North America. Commemorating the forty-fifth anniversary of this banner year, Fantasy Records launched its Creedence Clearwater Revival 1969 initiative with vinyl re-issues timed to coincide with their original release dates: Bayou Country was released on January 14th, Green River on August 5th and Willy and the Poor Boys on November 4th. Also coming in 2014 are a new Greatest Hits package and High Resolution Audio releases. On Record Store Day â April 19, 2014 â Fantasy Records will make available a limited-edition 10-inch vinyl disc titled The â69 Singles [Record Store Day Exclusive]. Featured are eight chart-topping hits: âProud Mary,â âBorn on the Bayou,â âBad Moon Rising,â âLodi,â âGreen River,â âCommotionâ (the B-side of âGreen Riverâ), âDown on the Cornerâ and âFortunate Son.â – See more at:...

By Benjy Eisen March 18, 2014 10:50 AM ET The Disco Biscuits have teamed up with two unlikely special guests for a headlining slot at this year’s Gathering of the Vibes: The Grateful Dead’s Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. While next year will mark the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary, this will be the first time the two drummers will perform together since 2011, when their project, the Rhythm Devils, went on indefinite hiatus. The Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, following the untimely death of default band leader Jerry Garcia. The Disco Biscuits with the Grateful Dead’s rhythm section may seem like an unusual pairing at first, but the unexpected collaboration makes sense to the musicians. “I grew up on the Grateful Dead, so I’m particularly psyched to have both Billy and Mickey joining us,” keyboardist Aron Magner tells Rolling Stone. “Though our music is quite different, the ethos is the same â both on the improvisational level as well as in the sense of community that our bands have created with our fans.” Although nothing has been worked out yet, fans can expect to hear material from both bands’ catalogs. Talking to Rolling Stone from his home in Hawaii, Kreutzmann predicts that the adventurous combination of styles will create a space that will allow the two camps to do what they both do best â jam. “It’s going to get weird. It’s going to get far out. And it’s going to be something completely different,” says Kreutzmann. “Exactly what all involved parties are known for.” While Deadheads hold their collective breath for news of any potential 50th anniversary activity, it is appropriate that the drummers will reunite at Gathering of the Vibes. The last time the pair performed together was also at the festival, three years ago. “Any day playing drums with Bill is a very good day,” Hart tells Rolling Stone. “The Disco Biscuits seem to prefer trance/space, moment music. Bill and I are quite familiar with the genre. Let the fun begin!” The Gathering of the Vibes launched in 1996 as a way for Deadheads to come together and keep in touch, in the days and years after the Grateful Dead’s breakup. It has since grown into one of the Northeast’s largest summer music festivals and has diversified its lineup to include acts ranging from Jane’s Addiction to Jimmy Cliff. More than 25,000 fans are expected at this year’s event. Other artists that...
