Amazon.com essential recording
Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ("Almost Cut My Hair"? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including "Helpless," "Teach Your Children," and "Our House." --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews

A timeless classic rock masterpiece!
"Deja Vu" is a timeless masterpiece of classic rock! It's the crowning achievement of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSN&Y), arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Much of their fame and durability over the past 30 years can be traced to this album, which was originally released on vinyl in 1970. It contains some of their most outstanding and famous songs, including the rock anthems "Carry On" and "Woodstock," David Crosby's tongue-in-cheek "Almost Cut My Hair," Stephen Stills' forlorn ballad "4 + 20," and the personal favorite of both my wife and me: "Our House." Every song shows CSN&Y's tremendous dynamism, versatility and musical maturity. Superbly intelligent lyrics, great guitar riffs (especially Greg Reeves' bass riff in the song "Deja Vu"), beautifully crafted harmonies, and Dallas Taylor's sizzling percussion all converge to make every song on this digitally remastered CD a rock masterpiece.

"Deja Vu" is one of the landmark albums of all time. It's also one of my personal favorites, and an essential CD, not only for fans of CSN&Y, but for all fans of rock and roll music.

REJOICE! REJOICE!
This album has been part of the fabric of my life for thirty years now. Few records are quite so perfect from beginning to end as this one. It has what I believe are some the best songs ever written by these artists--Stephen's triumphant "Carry On", and his anguished and poignant "4&20"; Graham's lovely "Teach Your Children" and "Our House", David's "Almost Cut My Hair" (a signature tune if there ever was one) and the wonderfully trippy "Deja Vu"; Neil's near-operatic "Country Girl" and the exquisite "Helpless", one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful pieces of popular music ever. . .But DEJA VU doesn't stop with the songs. The sublime moments are seemingly endless--the guitar duelling on "Woodstock", the majestic climax to "Country Girl", the hazy, scatty intro to the title track, Jerry Garcia's wistful steel guitar on "Teach Your Children". . .and of course the gorgeous harmonies throughout. Man oh man, has this music enriched my life, and it will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath. . .and hopefully beyond.

Their Best Album Of All Time!
Deja Vu is CSN's best album. A big reason of this is Neil Young. CSN were great together, but when they joined with Young, the possibilities were endless. This album shows that. Crosby wrote two great songs on the album; Almost Cut My Hair and Deja Vu. Graham Nash also wrote some great songs, including one of the best songs they ever did, Teach Your Children, and also Our House. Stills and Young really shine on this album, collaborating on the great Everybody I Love You. Individually, Stills wrote such classics as Carry On and 4 + 20. Young wrote Country Girl, which is a great song, but Helpless may just top the album as the best song on it. With these four incredible songwriters on one album, how did they ever find room for Joni Mitchell's Woodstock? I don't know, but I'm glad they did, because it is a great song. This album is very essential to any fan of any of the four artists.
