"Cathedral" is Graham Nash's song, words and music, and it sits on CSN, the album Crosby, Stills & Nash put out on Atlantic on June 17, 1977, only their second studio record as a trio. Nash plays piano on it, Russ Kunkel handles drums, percussion and timpani, George Perry plays bass, and all three voices are on it. The trio produced it themselves, with Howard and Ron Albert adding production and doing the recording.
The album came after years apart: since touring behind Déjà Vu in 1970, the three had come together only for the 1974 CSNY reunion tour, while Crosby and Nash cut three albums as a duo and Stills put out four solo records, two with Manassas and one with Neil Young. It went on to become the trio lineup's best seller.
