The Lee Shore follows a frequent theme in Crosby's music, which concerns oceans, ships and sailors. It's a beautiful, contemplative number that I always enjoy listening to. It was also recorded in live form from the Crosby & Nash period. Below is a recording of those two, taken from a BBC program in the early 1970s:

Song of the Week: The Lee Shore
On the great Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young double live album 4 Way Street, one can find many outstanding renditions of various songs by each of the principals. Roughly speaking, the first two sides cover more of the acoustic material (Teach Your Children, Don't Let It Bring You Down). On side one, nestled between Crosby's Triad and Nash's Chicago, is a less well-known gem titled The Lee Shore. (Interestingly, the Byrds' reluctance to record Triad, which concerns a ménage-a-trois, contributed to Crosby's decision to leave that band.)
