Music reviews of VoyageMusic Review: A riddle, wrapped in a jelly roll, inside an enigma, stuffed in a bongDavid Crosby must be the most successful singer to never have a hit. Actually, "Eight Miles High" was a huge hit. Unfortunately, it was Gene Clark's song (Clark's only true hit) and is completely out of place here, just as "Revolution" would be out of place on a Paul McCartney anthology. However, the B-side of EMH, "Why?" is also a terrific song, is a David Crosby song, and would have been an ideal opener for this anthology. "Why?" summarizes Crosby's philosophical vision in a single word. And why is Crosby's only Byrds A-side, "Lady Friend" not included here. It's a beautiful song, and one of Crosby's best. The other two Byrds songs are excellent (especially "Everybody Has Been Burned"), but his six albums (plus) with the Byrds would be better represented by four (or maybe more) excellent Crosby songs, rather than by two excellent Crosby songs and one awesome Clark song. It's a shame "Draft Morning" couldn't have been included also, but Crosby's involvement in and approval of the final recording of that song is questionable. Similar to EMH, "Wooden Ships" is a Stephen Stills song with a few peripheral Crosby lyrics added. WS does not accurately illustrate David Crosby's specific musical vision, and should not have been included. The CSN album After the Storm (1994) was a very underrated album and should have been represented here by at least one song (e.g. "Camera"). Otherwise, Crosby's CSNY, CSN, CN, & solo recordings are nicely covered by this compilation. However, nearly all of those tracks, 18 of 35 tracks on discs 1 & 2, were included in the far superior CSN box set (and the three Byrds tracks are in the Byrds box set). Disc 3 might have appealed to someone other than hardcore Crosby fans had it been released as a seperate album. When Crosby phases into his vocal netherworld, it's nearly impossible to resist going along for the ride. But, although this collection is full of netherworld delights, the average listener would be better served with Byrds or CSN recordings, or even Crosby's first solo album. This collection is awfully good, but almost exclusively for diehards.
