Drawn Out CSN Project

Doing an album of original material can take less time than the amount David Crosby, Steve Stills and Graham Nash have invested in putting together their album of cover songs.  After years of preparation, Graham Nash tells Billboard the album remains less than half finished.  Part of the reason probably relates to the decision to put the project in the hands of a new producer.  The group selected Rick Rubin, veteran producer of projects for artists as different as Johnny Cash and Metallica.  He is also currently working with another trio, ZZ Top.  But Nash puts the blame on the drawn-out process on himself and his band mates, admitting, 'It's hard to tell CSN what to do in the studio after 40, 50 years'.  Songs on the work-in-progress album include Uncle John's Band (Grateful Dead), You Can Close Your Eyes (James Taylor), Lives In The Balance (Jackson Browne) and Reason To Believe (Tim Hardin).  CSN has spent much of the summer of 2010 on the road with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
