Traction in the Rain - David Crosby Cover

Traction in the Rain - By David Crosby / If I could only remember my name (Album) : [Performed By: STEVE BERRY, MESA AZ]

If I Could Only Remember My Name is the debut solo album by David Crosby, released in February of 1971 on Atlantic Records. One of four high-profile albums released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their chart-topping Déjà Vu album, it peaked at #12 on the Billboard 200. It has been in print continuously since its initial release. The album gained new recognition in 2010 when it was listed second on the Vatican's "Top 10 Pop Albums of All Time" as published in the official newspaper of the Holy See, L'Osservatore Romano.

A large grouping of prominent musicians from the era appear on the record, including Nash, Young, Joni Mitchell, members of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana. This ad-hoc ensemble was given the moniker of "The Great Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra" by longtime Crosby associate Paul Kantner; many of the same musicians appeared on the latter's Blows Against The Empire, recorded concurrently with Crosby's album. The album also features the only recorded appearance of David Crosby's reclusive brother, Ethan Crosby

It's hard enough I know
To find the strength to go
Back to were
It all began
It's hard enough to gain
Any traction in the rain
You know it's hard
For me to understand
Hard to find a way
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Getting out
[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitars and Harp)]
Now the strangest thing I've seen
Was a t-shirt turning green
In envy of
A turtle dove
The dove's lady was the cause
Or maybe it was the olive branch
She held in her claws
Or maybe he could see they were in love
You know it's hard for me to find a way
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Getting out
