"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" comes from Crosby, Stills & Nash's 1969 album, and it's Stephen Stills' show from the ground up: he wrote the words and music and plays guitar, bass and percussion on it. What carries it, though, is three voices. Stills, David Crosby and Graham Nash stack their harmonies so tight you can't find the seams, and the song earns its title, moving through its sections like a small folk-rock symphony, all bright ringing strings and sunlit vocals.
The trio produced it themselves, Bill Halverson recorded it, and the four of them mixed it together, which may explain why it sounds so homemade and so perfectly finished at the same time.
