【經典重現】
以Crosby, Stills & Nash，The Byrds樂團兩度入列「搖滾名人殿堂」的傳奇David Crosby，也是社會正義行動者。在1963年與Roger McGuinn，Chris Hillman，Gene Clark，Michael Clark等人組成The Byrds樂團，於1967年告別The Byrds，偕同Graham Nash，Stephen Stills等人組成了Crosby, Stills & Nash，日後加入Neil Young的Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young，被外界推崇為加州搖滾樂風始祖，深深影響了日後搖滾進化史。
David在1971年發行首張個人專輯《If Only I Could Remember My Name》，邀請了樂團夥伴Graham Nash和Neil Young，以及傳奇女歌手Joni Mitchell助陣，還有經典樂團The Grateful Dead、The Jefferson Airplane、Santana的成員參與幕後錄製。登記告示牌流行榜第12名，獲頒金唱片銷售認證。將民謠融入迷幻搖滾風格之中，強烈的旋律瀰漫在憂鬱氛圍之中，因為David在錄製專輯前，女友因車禍離世，還未走出傷痛的David，藉由歌曲抒發情感、向昔日愛人哀悼。AllMusic(4.5/5)+Pitchfork(8.7/10)+滾石雜誌(4/5)等傳媒高分推崇。
此發行50週年紀念盤，追入2006年重發時的加值曲〈Kids And Dogs〉，還有1968-1969年錄製的Demo以及特別演出版本，相當珍貴的提供樂迷珍藏！
