David Crosby has announced plans to release Croz, his first studio album in 20 years, sometime early next year.

Crosby worked with his son James Raymond and co-producer Daniel Garcia on the LP, as well as Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler ("What's Broken"), and Wynton Marsalis, who adds trumpet to "Holding on to Nothing."

"I don't think kids are gonna dig it, but I'm not making it for them," Crosby told Rolling Stone. "I'm making it for me. I have this stuff that I need to get off my chest."

Croz, the first solo release from David since 1993's Thousand Roads, will be released independently on Jan. 28, 2014.

"We could have gone and gotten a deal," Crosby added. "But everybody in the music business is very leery about the big companies and what kind of lifespan they might have. Most people are doing it on their own, so that's what we did."

I don't have any of his solo albums, in fact the only one from CSN&Y I have anything by is Neil Young.

I think they were magical together and lost so much when Neil left then they eventually all went their separate ways.

What he seems to be saying is that he doesn't care if anybody likes it (especially people younger than him, which is pretty much anybody with a pulse since he must be like 90 by now) and he isn't using a record company to release it and distribute it, so he's presumably going to be selling the thing out of the back of a van or something...which is the kind of hippie thing he could have gotten away with in 1967, but someone needs to explain to him that this is no longer the Summer of Love. Anything with Mark Knopfler involved interests me so I may even end up getting it , but l don't see what the point is of this album really.

The only solo albums I own by a member of CSN&Y are a few of Neil Young's heavier albums from the late seventies, like Zuma. I've also got plenty of stuff by Graham Nash with The Hollies. It doesn't mean I don't like the others, I just haven't really heard any of them. I was been tempted to get one of the early Stephen Stills albums with Eric Clapton, but I've forgotten which one, and The Rides' album looks good. Anyone know if The Stills-Young Band were any good (as it dates from around the Zuma time)?
