Crosby, Stills & Nash is the debut studio album by the folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), released on May 29, 1969, by Atlantic Records. It is the only release by the band prior to adding Neil Young to their lineup. Since it's release it has been certified four times platinum by the RIAA for sales of 4 million.
The album's success earned the group industry respect and sparked interest in similar acts, many managed by Elliot Roberts and David Geffen. Strong sales and confessional songwriting helped launch the early 1970s singer-songwriter movement. Their honest lyrics, vocal harmonies, meticulous studio work, and Laurel Canyon roots shaped the "California sound" that influenced artists like the Eagles, Jackson Browne, and post-1974 Fleetwood Mac.
