This is 76-year-old Neil Young in full-on Earth/grandfather rocker mode. “Love Earth/we can bring the seasons back,” Young sings on “Love Earth," a gentle romp that almost feels like it could be sung around a campfire.

It’s been 10 years or so since Graham Nash went by 815 Palm Avenue, the West Hollywood address of a rundown house where Crosby, Stills & Nash shot the cover photo for their 1969 self-titled debut album. Nash-penned rubies include “Our House,” “Teach Your Children,” “Just a Song Before I Go” and “Marrakesh Express " – recorded by his folk-rock supergroups Crosby, Stills & Nash (also featuring Byrds and Buffalo Springfield expats David Crosby and Stephen Stills) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (after Stills’ Buffalo Springfield homey Neil Young supersized CSN). With his previous group The Hollies, Nash cowrote/sang “Carrie Anne,” the summery ode to ‘60s “it girl” Marianne Faithfull. Not long ago I was in a record store and a younger person in their 20s was talking about loving the debut Crosby, Stills and Nash album. Last question: Crosby, Stills and Nash and CSNY have been on and off several times, but both those bands have a long together.
