Ezeregy dal, amit érdemes meghallgatni: 0313 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Ohio (1970) Writer: | Neil Young Producer: | David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young Label: | Atlantic Album: | N/A The death of four Kent State University students, shot by the National Guard in Ohio during a protest on May 4, 1970, was the inspiration behind this one-off Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young single—one of rock’s most resonant protest songs. Pressed into action when David Crosby showed him harrowing photos of the shootings published in Life magazine, Neil Young wrote the song in a day; the members of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young then promptly convened in the Record Plant Studios, Sausalito, California. The recording was more of a team effort than anything on the recent Déjà vu album, which, though hugely successful, had mostly showcased four separate performers. “Ohio” was captured live in the studio, ragged harmonies and all, and simmering with audible outrage at the shootings. “Neil wrote ‘Ohio’ on Monday and recorded it at Record Plant in Hollywood and it was on the airways by Friday; that is just unheard of and I’ll never forget it, we got ‘Ohio’ in one take,” explained drummer Johnny Barbata, who was hastily called up for the session. The dread conveyed in lines such as “tin soldiers and Nixon coming” contrasted sharply with CSN&Y’s country-rock single taken from Déjà vu, Graham Nash’s “Teach Your Children.” Nevertheless, the rush-release of the guitar-driven “Ohio” meant that CSN&Y registered two Top Twenty Billboard hits in the month of June 1970. youtu.be/68g76j9VBvM
