Crosby, Stills, and Nash have regrouped with Neil Young and are currently touring the country. That, coupled with the recent mind-boggling revelation by rocker Melissa Etheridge that David Crosby is the father of her children, has put the band back in the public eye. The text is buttressed with approximately 270 monochrome images of the group in their various incarnations as well as portraits of other famous rockers by Henry Diltz.
