Daylight Again

"Daylight Again" is the seventh album by Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), an American folk rock supergroup composed of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash. The album was initially released on June 21, 1982, by Atlantic Records.

Background-wise, "Daylight Again" represents a period of intense personal turmoil for the group members, with each of them facing various struggles including substance abuse and strained interpersonal relationships. Despite these issues, they managed to put together an album that was successful both commercially and critically.

The album comprises 11 tracks, with "Wasted on the Way" and "Southern Cross" being the two singles that achieved popularity. These songs considerably contributed to the ultimate success of the album, which managed to reach number 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and receive a RIAA certification for Platinum, denoting over one million records sold in the U.S.

A noteworthy aspect of this album is the strong involvement of other musicians, marking a departure from the largely self-contained work of the previous CSN records. Several sessions musicians, including Timothy B. Schmit of The Eagles, contributed to the album.

In terms of style, "Daylight Again" still retained the signature tight harmonies and folk rock sound of Crosby, Stills & Nash, albeit wrapped in a slick, radio-friendly production that marked many records in the early 1980s period.

Despite the personal challenges and changes in the music industry, "Daylight Again" confirmed the enduring appeal of Crosby, Stills & Nash, capturing some of the old magic that had made this supergroup an influential force in the music scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
