Not a huge hit by their usual standards. I Can't Let Go was a good cover and 66 I think was their best year for 45s. As for their albums, I'd say that Butterfly and Evolution stand out.Their best IMO. Underappreciated albums both, self-written also. Concur with you regarding their '66 45s output (including that classic among classics, "Bus Stop" but also another Clarke/Hicks/Nash gem, "Stop, Stop, Stop"), but 1964 and 1965 weren't mean years for them in that department either ("We're Through", "I'm Alive", "Look Through Any Window", "Here I Go Again"...)Possibly another underrated gem, Nash,'s King Midas in Reverse. Not a huge hit but a interesting track all the same. Perhaps a little pointer to his work with Crosby and Stills.And with its failure chart-wise, the track that accelerated Graham Nash's departure to California.It certainly did. As did Joni Mitchell, ha ha.
