Review

Rolling Stone (p.81) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Alongside Neil Young's 'Ohio,' they remain the most potent political anthems in the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young songbook."
Rolling Stone (7/22/71, p.36) - "...a sharp ear for melody, a pleasant voice that tends to grow on you, and a suprisingly restrained and beautiful production..."
Q (7/93, p.110) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Perhaps because of his Hollies background, Graham Nash was unusual among '70s singer/songwriters in appreciating the three-minute pop single...worth a listen..."
Dirty Linen (p.50) - "[The album] has a timeless feel due to the strength of the material....The album ended with the politically fueled 'Chicago/We Can Change the World,' songs that are still relevant today."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "SONGS FOR BEGINNERS is the sound of a gentle soul from northern England watching the LA lights go out....Songs of change and hope heavy with an unfathomable foreboding."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[With] solid songwriting....Though it's possible to hear echoes and pre-figurings, the music is sufficiently different from his group work to be distinctive..."

Probably Graham Nash's most famous solo album--he never recorded as many solo projects as his CSN&Y cohorts, for some reason--1971's SONGS FOR BEGINNERS is the quintessential Graham Nash experience. The ex-Hollies frontman overdubs his distinctive harmonies over unfailingly pretty piano and guitar melodies, letting his pop instincts, which were always more finely attuned than those of his folkier chums, lead him.

Part protest songs--"Military Madness" and "Chicago" are as impassioned as Young's "Ohio"--and part singer-songwriter introspection, the songs are a uniformly strong lot. "Wounded Bird" and "Simple Man," among Nash's most beloved tunes, are highlights, but the lovely "Sleep Song" is among Nash's finest tunes ever. Jerry Garcia and Dave Mason are among the many heavy friends who make cameo appearances.
