"Everybody wanted to go in that direction, and we had this completely different thing, even though Stephen was a really fine guitar player. "It was the year of the guitar player – Clapton and Hendrix," said Crosby. The resulting record, an inventive mixture of folk and light rock highlighted by the three's supreme vocal harmonies, ran counter to the musical flavor of the time. Nash, already disillusioned with the creative direction of The Hollies and their lackluster reaction to the new songs he was writing, quickly turned in his walking papers to the British pop group and set about recording an album with his new mates. "When we were done, Nash said, 'Can you do that one more time? Just one more time.' The third time we sang it, Nash joined in and added a top harmony line.

Nash, hanging out nearby, came over and asked the two to sing the song (what was to become You Don't Have To Cry) again.
