Songs for Beginners is Graham Nash's debut solo album outside of CSNY. Released in 1971, it's a collection of songs reflecting change and starting over, recorded both in L.A. and SF in the aftermath of Nash's breakup with Joni Mitchell. Unlike Stills' and Crosby's works, Nash's is humbler, a true songwriter's album with star-studded players: Crosby, Garcia, Ethridge, Coolidge, Keys, etc. Ultimately, it's Nash's strongest solo work.
