After the Storm is the seventh studio album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their fifth studio album in the trio configuration, released on Atlantic Records in 1994. It would be their last release on Atlantic, excepting reissues, for almost two decades. It peaked at No. 98 on the Billboard 200, the lowest charting position of their eight studio albums. It is also their lowest selling album, with sales near 200,000.[1]
CSN toured extensively in the early 1990s, playing over 200 shows from 1990 through 1992, but took a break in 1993.[2] In the interim since the group's previous album, 1990's Live It Up, Stills and Crosby had both issued solo albums, Stills Alone in 1991 and Crosby's Thousand Roads in 1993, while Nash had compiled the 1991 box set. With the 25th-anniversary of the release of their debut album approaching, the group reconvened to have an album in stores during 1994.[3]: 277
Unlike the group's three previous albums, other than a Beatles cover all the compositions are by the principals with no outside writing contributions. The sessions were somewhat of a multi-generational affair, with Stills' children Jennifer and Christopher appearing as well as Ethan Johns, the son of the album's producer, Glyn Johns. Johns was the first producer to receive credit on a CSN album without the principals.
To promote After the Storm, the group played almost 100 concerts in 1994 including Woodstock '94, and played both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Show with David Letterman.[3]: 287 According to Nash, however, even with the high visibility of the Woodstock anniversary festival and the television appearances, Atlantic did little in the way of promotion, which contributed to the album's low sales.[3]: 287
The Music Box called After the Storm "the best thing Crosby, Stills, and Nash has released in a long, long time", saying that Stills' songwriting talents had been revitalized and Nash's performance was dramatically improved. The reviewer singled out "Camera", "It Won't Go Away", and "Unequal Love" as the highlights.[5] In contrast, a retrospective review in Allmusic opined that "Only 'These Empty Days' and the title cut, both from Graham Nash, have any of the old magic in them. The rest sounds like tracks made for solo discs that never saw the light of day and were combined in this form so as to sell product."[4]
Like those on Live It Up, none of these songs found a permanent place in the group's repertoire, with only "Unequal Love" and "After the Storm" revisited a handful of times beyond the 1994 tours.[6] On their 2011 tour without Stills, however, Crosby & Nash did perform "Camera".
