4 Way Street
Day 6 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.
4 Way Street is the second album by the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and their first live album.
It was originally released on April 7, 1971, so today it celebrates 50 years.
It is one of my favorite albums of my childhood. I remember very well that my dad played a lot this album, specially the acoustic first part on his turntable, so it makes me turn back to these happy days.
I remember that my dad explained my brother and myself the lyrics of the song Chicago
"The title and lyrics of the song refer to the anti-Vietnam War protests that took place during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the subsequent trial of the Chicago Eight, where protest leaders were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot.
The line "Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing?" refers to Nash pleading with bandmates Stephen Stills and Neil Young to come to Chicago to play a benefit concert for the Chicago 8 defense fund. The chorus contains the lines, "We can change the world / Rearrange the World". (from Wikipedia)
These chorus got marked in my mind like a tattoo.
In my opinion, this is one of the first real "unplugged" shows and they influenced a lot of musicians and non-musicians, like myself.
If you haven't heard the album, you should, it deserve to be listened.

And my favorite song:
Love the one you're with: youtu.be/kKhSewH2pB8
