1. And So It Goes - Graham Nash
6. Midnight on the Bay - Neil Young
12. As I Come of Age - Stephen Stills
18. My Favorite Changes - Stephen Stills
Human Highway was intended to be the band's third album after Deja Vu in 1970. However due to conflicts between the band members’ "schedules", the album was worked on between 1973 and 1976 but never came out and the band's third album wouldn't be released till 1977. Graham Nash stated that the album was always intended as a single album of ten tracks, but in that time many of the songs from the sessions would later get released on their solo albums.
But the odd thing is that although the band got together many times during this period to work on the album, they also split into a dichotomy of sorts. David Crosby and Graham Nash got together to form Crosby and Nash and Stephen Stills and Neil Young got together to form The Stills-Young Band. Although Crosby and Nash put out three albums around this time, The Stills-Young Band only put out one but it was the closest album to being a reunion around this time.
There was an initial track list of ten tracks for the album, but I included another track called Prison Song by Graham Nash cause it was said that a full band version of the song existed. There was also a list of songs from bandmates' solo albums that were written around this time so I used that to form the second record. But a couple of the songs I had to take out for being written around this time but recorded afterwards such as Graham Nash's song It's All Right from Earth and Sky.
Some notable songs include the title track for which I'm using a version recorded in 1977 but versions from 1976 exist, as well as an alternate version of See the Changes from their CSN album but released on their CSN box set, and Stephen Stills' version of a song which Neil wrote. I also don't usually list the tracks alphabetically but I liked the flow of it this way.
