David Crosby has announced a deluxe reissue of his solo debut If I Could Only Remember My Name. The double-disc 50th anniversary edition of the album, which is out October 15, will include more than a dozen previously unreleased demos and alternate takes. To accompany the announcement, Crosby has shared the previously unreleased demo ‘Riff 1’. Give it a listen and find the full tracklist for the reissue below.
The collection also comes with liner notes penned by Steve Silberman, co-author of Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for Deadheads, who writes: “…the stories behind the creation of If I Could Only Remember My Name make clear that its uplifting and redemptive qualities were the result of a close-knit group of gifted players pulling one of their own back from the brink. The album’s edge was tempered in the fire of life-altering tragedy.”
David Crosby released his most recent album, For Free, in July.
