How come CSN&Y suddenly “reunited” in 1999?
The band’s decision to record and tour again had its seeds in a visit Young made to a studio where CSN were recording, because he said he felt like seeing his friends. Impressed that the trio were funding their album themselves because they were between record deals, he signed on. Meanwhile, he and Stills had been working on putting together a Buffalo Springfield retrospective and it seemed as if the time to work together again was right. Graham Nash: “Neil came down to the studio in LA to play on one of Stephen’s songs. He heard me playing a track of “Heartland” and wanted to play on it. Then he played on the Stephen Stills song called “Acadienne” then 14 songs later the album was done.
