As I posted yesterday, I was saddened to hear of the death of David Crosby. Along with Jerry Garcia and Paul Kantner, he was one of the musical icons of my life. He didn't have the influence on me that those other two musicians did, but his music had an emotional impact that continues to this day.
Rolling Stone has published a list of 20 songs (with YouTube links) that they consider essential. It's a good list. although there's nothing from his 21st-century recordings.
For an example of that, check out his wonderful 2018 performance with The Lighthouse Band from the Capitol Theatre, now available for streaming or as a DVD. Here's another example, a Tiny Desk Concert from NPR in 2019. It too is lovely.
