Looking Forward is the eighth and final studio album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their third with Neil Young.

[4] Crosby, Stills & Nash toured extensively through the 1990s, playing almost as many shows as they had in the previous decades combined.

However, the band's relationship with Atlantic Records had soured, partly over a lack of push for After the Storm, but mostly over the perception that the label now had very little interest in the group after they had made the company millions during the 1970s.

[8][9] Working with Stills to compile the Buffalo Springfield retrospective box set, Neil Young became intrigued with these CSN sessions.

[9] Playing on some tracks in process, Young brought in three recordings he had earmarked for one of his own albums, "Looking Forward", "Slowpoke", and "Out of Control".
