Recently Graham Nash announced the dates and locations for his 2018 tour. Thus far the count is only 10 concerts, getting underway in late February in Annapolis, MD, ending mid-March in St. Louis. Graham is one of those rare artists that are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not once – but twice; as a member of the Hollies in 2010, and the other enshrinement as a member of CSNY in 1997. In our opinion, here are the top songs written by Graham Nash…
“Chicago/We Can Change The World” may be the best protest anti-war song ever written, penned by Graham in 1971, released from his first solo LP ‘Songs for Beginners.’ The song was inspired by the 1968 Democratic Convention and Chicago 8 protests.
“Marrakesh Express” was a song written by Graham in the last year as a member of the Hollies; the band didn’t like the tune, so he held on to it for later.
“Teach Your Children” was written by Graham when he was a member of the Hollies, but didn’t see the light of day until 1970. Jerry Garcia plays the slide guitar in this song.
