    A hauntingly quiet triumph, Croz gets under your skin and stays there. [Apr 2014, p.114]

    Recorded at his son's home studio, David Crosby's first solo studio album in two decades has a pleasingly jazzy feel, the arrangements full of blocky piano chords and big string bass which, with Crosby's much-envied harmonies, create a pleasant fug.

    Rather than the '80s rock Oh Yes I Can or the guest-strewn covers of 1993's Thousand Roads, this frequently lovely, folky album instead recalls the ease and space of that debut [1971's If Only I Could Remember My Name]. [Feb 2014, p.73]

    David Crosby simply continues down a path he established for himself a long time ago, and even if he has encountered a few bumps along the way, this is a record of a man who has done everything he wanted to do with his life, and Croz emerges as the final piece of the puzzle.

    He's aware he's building upon a past he sometimes pines for, yet he's restless enough to forage ahead into new territory, but only when he's surrounded by cozy, familiar settings.

    All in all though, a fair return.

    Where time truly has no meaning is in the lyrics. [Apr 2014, p.96]

    The laid-back pace and contemplative mood then doesn’t really evolve over the 11 songs, and although Croz doesn’t outstay its welcome, there is a nagging feeling that the slickness of the production and instrumentation don’t play to Crosby’s strengths as a singer or songwriter.

    If you’re looking for a neat musical reminder that David Crosby is one of the most influential men of his era--and can still sparkle with some of that same musical magic today, Croz is a worthy listen.

    It’ll never go down as a classic of the Crosby canon, yet it is quite unlike anything else he’s ever done. Perhaps it’s best summed up in four simple words--one for the purists.

    It’s been 20 years since David Crosby’s last solo offering, but Croz finds his fire undimmed, and his freak flag still proudly flying, if slightly tattered.

    http://bit.ly/1eB2UPe David Crosby, James Raymond and Marcus Eaton have put together and performed a masterpiece. This is certainly a matchhttp://bit.ly/1eB2UPe David Crosby, James Raymond and Marcus Eaton have put together and performed a masterpiece. This is certainly a match for Crosby's excellent debut, If I Could Only Remember My Name, and will be a classic for years to come. I dearly hope Croz doesn't stop here and we get some more music from him for a long time. Full Review »
