I've been listening to one of the the last great, laid-back hippy gems of the '60s era.  David Crosby's 1971 solo album, "If I Could Only Remember My Name." I  certainly didn't start the day in search of that sunset on Tamalpais, stoned vibe, but I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it after all these years, all of these lifetimes.

In my opinion, it's a perfect antidote for everything that's going on in the world right now.  You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  This beautiful work, in addition to Crosby's gorgeous voice, features guest spots from Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Grace Slick, and Jerry Garcia, among others.

It's right up there in that rarefied atmosphere that includes Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" and Tim Buckley's "Blue Afternoon."
