Track by Track: Crosby, Stills & Nash on Their Self-Titled Debut

Crosby: "That was written by Paul Kanter and Stephen Stills and myself on my boat in Florida. It's one of my most favorite Crosby, Stills & Nash songs. I really love what it says, I really love how unusual it is and I really love the harmonies. It's definitely a science fiction song, no question."
Nash: "I immediately revert back to what's happening today. Personally I think that Stephen's solo in 'Wooden Ships' gets better every time I hear it. And he played one in Wolf Trap in Virginia the night before last that had me shaking my head it was so beautiful."

"Marrakesh Express"

Nash: "In 1966 I was visiting Morocco on vacation to Marrakesh and getting on a train and having a first-class ticket and then realizing that the first-class compartment was completely fucking boring, you know, ladies with blue hair in there — it wasn't my scene at all. So I decide I'm going to go and see what the rest of the train is like. And the rest of the train was fascinating. Just like the song says, there were ducks and pigs and chickens all over the place and people lighting fires. It's literally the song as it is — what happened to me."
