“ Thousand Roads (Crosby: 1993)
This is mellow, tasteful soft-rock for fans who can’t get enough of Crosby’s singing; his voice is in good form, there are pretty harmonies galore, and the synth-pop cheese factor of recent CSN/CSNY records is mostly absent. The bad news is that there’s little of Crosby himself in the generic, vaguely New Age ingredients, and the end product is just plain dull. There’s frequent switching off of backing musicians, and of big-name producers like Don Was and Glyn Johns. But the main problem is the horde of outside songwriters, most of them obscure (the exception is John Hiatt). Crosby did write the title track, and he collaborated with Joni Mitchell on „Yvette In English“ and Phil Collins on „Hero“; Collins sings and plays on his number, but Mitchell doesn’t do likewise. It’s too bad, because the song is otherwise a highlight. Bernie Leadon handles many of the guitar parts, and other guests include Nash, Andy Fairweather-Low, Paulinho da Costa, and Jackson Browne.
