Graham Nash has long secured its place in the history of pop music. As the singer of the Hollies, he already scored an unimaginable series of hits in England in the 1960s. After crossing to the United States, he became a member of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young), which with their razor-sharp harmony vocals grew into the group of the Woodstock generation. After the turbulent 1960s,
… Nash's productivity slowed. Songs For Survivors, his fifth solo album only, refers in the title to his first and most successful album Songs For Beginners (1971) and is also musically reminiscent of that period. In ten warm, acoustic songs he does not break new ground, but brings familiar sweet folk pop, which, although pleasing, has little connection with the present time. Nash's voice has hardly been affected after all these years and anyone with a soft spot for Nash's work in the 1960s and 1970s will enjoy Songs For Survivors. (MS)more
