Crosby & Nash is a double album by Crosby & Nash, released in 2004, the duo's fourth and final studio recording. It was the first studio album by the duo since Whistling Down the Wire 28 years earlier, and proved to be the final album of original material by any grouping of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in quartet, trio, or duo configuration. In 2006, a truncated version of this album appeared containing 13 of its tracks on one disc. The song "Michael (Hedges Here)" is in tribute to their friend, guitarist Michael Hedges, who died in 1997. The core band for the album includes James Raymond and Jeff Pevar from Crosby's CPR project, session musicians Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel who played with Crosby and Nash in the 1970s, and guitarist Dean Parks. All tracks were recorded from January 12, 2004, through February 12, 2004, at Center Staging in Burbank, California and at Kazoo Studios in Kauai.
