Overview

According to the notes of Stephen Stills's 2013 box set Carry On, some of these old and new recordings were dated as follows:

  • "Ain't It Always" from December 1976,
  • "Spanish Suite" from April 1979 during the sessions of his unfinished 1979 album,
  • "Feed the People" from 1989 but with everything but the backing vocals replaced later, and
  • "I Don't Get It" in 1991.
  • Zimmer's biography of Crosby, Stills & Nash places "Acadienne" with songs for CSNY's 1999 album Looking Forward, and based on the personnel it is from April 1998.[4]

Dates of the others are unknown.

  • "Drivin' Thunder" appeared the CSNY album American Dream in 1988, but Stills wrote new lyrics for the version on this album.
  • Stills introduced "Heart's Gate" as a new song in concert in 2003.

Graham Nash sings on "Acadienne", "Feed the People", and "Wounded World", which he co-wrote. Neil Young plays on the traditional "Different Man" and "Round the Bend", while Herbie Hancock plays on "Spanish Suite". Stills drew the back and front cover.
