(One can’t help but wonder whether the album title is a hat-tip to Stills’ and Collins’ old pal, Neil Young, whose second solo record was entitled Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.) Out on Sept. That all ended on July 26, 2017, when Stills and Collins hit the road together for the first time ever, for a 40-plus-date tour supporting a new album, Everybody Knows, which they recorded together. Stills also founded three notable supergroups, Manassas (with Byrds co-founder Chris Hillman), the short-lived Stills-Young Band, which gifted the world with Long May You Run, and Bloomfield, Kooper & Stills, featuring Bob Dylan band alums Mike Bloomfield (guitar) and Al Kooper (keyboards), with whom he recorded the album Super Session. While it’s next to impossible to know when the actual breakup occurred, what we do know is that soon after CSN’s debut album hit and the band exploded, Stills and Collins were no more.īetween then and now, Stills would record a string of highly regarded and successful albums, including a trio of gold-selling solo albums (see: “ Love the One You’re With” from his first, Stephen Stills, which goes down as the lone record to ever feature both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix in supporting roles) and five platinum-selling records as part of Crosby, Stills, & Nash (four of which featured Young).

As for the “Judy” demo, it’s a more refreshing complement to the it’s-complicated “Suite,” a simple love song written by a man who was still madly in love.
