1994 Crosby, Stills & Nash – After The Storm

After the Storm is the thirteenth album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, their fifth studio album in the trio configuration, released on Atlantic Records in 1994. It would be their last release on Atlantic, excepting reissues, for almost two decades. It peaked at #98 on the Billboard 200, the lowest charting position of their eight studio albums. It is also their lowest selling album, with sales near 200,000.

CSN toured extensively in the early 1990s, playing over 200 shows from 1990 through 1992, but took a break in 1993. In the interim since the group’s previous album in 1990, Stills and Crosby had both issued solo albums, Stills Alone in 1991 and Crosby’s Thousand Roads in 1993, while Nash had compiled the 1991 box set. With the 25th anniversary of the release of their debut album approaching, the group reconvened to have an album in stores during 1994.

The album was recorded at studios in the Los Angeles area. “Only Waiting For You,” “Camera,” “It Won’t Go Away,” “In My Life,” “Bad Boyz,” “After The Storm,” and “Panama” were recorded at O’Henry Sound Studios in Burbank, California. “Unequal Love,” “Till It Shines,” and “These Empty Days” were recorded at Jackson Browne’s Groove Masters in Santa Monica, California. “Find A Dream” and “Street To Lean On” were recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood.
