“Music saved my butt - again!”
Catching up with David Crosby about his late-’90s band CPR - and how the collaboration fuels his career to this day

HE’S 78 now, but David Crosby is still achieving career firsts. In the Altadena studio owned by his son James Raymond, the pair have just finished cutting a new song, “Rodriguez Tonight”, featuring lyrics by Donald Fagen. “I asked him a couple of hundred times,” laughs Crosby. “I’m a huge fan - Steely Dan are my favourite band, even beyond The Beatles.”
