MUSIC - Crosby, Stills and Nash - Wooden ships

"Wooden ships"

Mellow as yellow custard, folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash’s ‘Wooden Ships’ hides its anti-war message in plain sight, drifting by on noodly guitars, caressed by Stephen Stills’ delicate organ-playing. Stills and David Crosby wrote the song with Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner and both bands released the song in 1969 as the Vietnam War reached its hopeless peak.
