Description
Lighthouse is an intimate, stripped-down set that highlights David Crosby's instantly recognizable voice, incisive songwriting, and incomparable guitar work. The palpable joy in the 9-song collection captures the iconic artist in an unexpected burst of inspiration.

For Lighthouse, Crosby received an able assist from Michael League, the bandleader/bassist for Snarky Puppy who executive produced and co-wrote much of the album with Crosby.

Lighthouse features a rare economy of sound, filled primarily by David Crosby's voice and guitars, and Michael League's bass. There's a sparse, unvarnished quality to the tracks that allows the songs breathing room and for the full emotional weight of the lyrics to emerge, unencumbered by extraneous instrumentation.

On album opener, "Things We Do For Love," written for his wife Jan, David's vocals reflect a poetic tenderness. On "Paint You A Picture," a cinematic tale of romantic regret co-written with Marc Cohn ("Walking In Memphis"), they are filled with remorseful resignation.

The longtime social activist lands his political punches as he bitingly condemns the craven politicians who send other people's children to war on "Somebody Other Than You," and compassionately reminds us that we are all the same on "Look In Their Eyes," a poignant tale about the Syrian refugee crisis.

Particularly striking on Lighthouse is David's piquant guitar playing, which is as inventive as always, but never flashy. By turns gentle and caustic, his work here surprised even him as he discovered new tones.

Tracklist
1. Things We Do For Love
2. The Us Below
3. Drive Out To The Desert
4. Look In Their Eyes
5. Somebody Other Than You
6. The City
7. Paint You A Picture
8. What Makes It So
9. By The Light Of Common Day

Renny mentioned that a new Croz album called Lighthouse is due later in the year, so let's open a thread for it right now.

I just saw this post from Croz on his facebook page, dated June 9, 2016. Apparently the title of the album has changed?

so i am working on the second solo record with son James producing ( called Home Free ) and it is coming along amazingly well
The Muse is being very kind to old croz these days
and i am extremely grateful to you all for sticking around to hear
these new songs
got a new tour up on my site

It's amazing this man is still alive with all he's been through & his age. When he passes, it's going to likely hit me hard.

What's even more amazing is that, between CPR and Croz, he's made some of the best music of his career in the last 15-20 years.

Crosby released a sneak preview of the upcoming album today in the form of "Things We Do For Love" (not the 10cc song).

Damn, he looks old in that video. Sounds like I'm going to like this album, though.
