Crosby, Stills & Nash to Cover Beatles, Bob Dylan on Next Album

C rosby, Stills & Nash are about one-third done with their next album, a set of classic rock covers produced by Rick Rubin, but Graham Nash won’t hazard a guess on when it will be finished and released.

“It’s a lot slower than it’s ever taken us to do an album,” Nash tells Billboard.com, “because we’ve been on the road since May, and we don’t quit until October. “We all want it to be right — Rick, too — so we’re taking our time to make sure it is.”

Working with Rubin, Nash adds, has been “very interesting. It’s hard to tell CSN what to do in the studio after almost 40, 50 years, but it’s an interesting experience. We’re certainly opening to listening to him. He has good ideas, of course.”

Fans, meanwhile, are getting a chance to sample the songs since the band has been previewing some during its concerts — primarily the Rolling Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday.” Other songs Nash and Stephen Stills have identified as being part of the project include the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood,” the Allman Brothers Band’s “Midnight Rider,” Bob Dylan’s “Girl From the North Country,” Tim Hardin’s “Reason to Believe,”
