One of the more unusual and appealing things about David Crosby’s music is his strong jazz influence in the folk and rock idioms. “Tamalpais High (At About 3)” is a perfect example of this. Cast in a jazzy groove, the rhythm section is a virtual playground for Crosby (and sundry friends, including Graham Nash) to weave their beautiful vocal pyrotechnics. The free-flowing quality of the melody is so loose that it threatens to have the entire piece come apart at any moment, yet the strength and inventive quality of the melodies contained here keep that far from a reality. The song is buttressed by several members of the Grateful Dead, who basically provide the rhythm section in their own patented dark and loose-limed aplomb. A true lost masterpiece, it remains one of the highlights of the brilliant If I Could Only Remember My Name album.
When times are such that billions of people face the possibility of nuclear disaster, when men and women fear walking the streets at night, when alienation and disorientation are at an all-time high, then spirituality becomes very practical. The search of unifying factors in our daily existence, the search for understanding and direction, and the inevitable pull toward consciousness brings us to a critical evaluation of our spiritual natures. Too pragmatic and scientific to accept things on faith, Western peoples have lost touch with the world of spirit and the sense of unity it can bring. Ancient systems, couched in language and culture so different from ours, are often too alienating for the Western mind.
