Free music!

Head on over to Aquarium Drunkard, and specifically to this post, to download a CD-R's worth of outtakes from the sessions that produced David Crosby's solo LP "If I Could Only Remember My Name", released in 1971.

An impenetrable fug of marijuana haze sits atop these performances, evocatively transporting you to the valleys and canyons of California at the start of the Seventies. The sound quality is excellent, as is the music. Crosby, of course, is responsible for "Triad", which demonstrates that he is both (a) prodigiously talented musically, and (b) psychologically suspect.
