Wild Tales (album)

Wild Tales is the second solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Graham Nash, released on Atlantic Records in 1974.

Nash blamed its failure to chart higher there on a lack of support and promotion from Atlantic Records.

Following the protracted break-up of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in late 1974 and early 1975, Nash left the label and signed a contract with ABC Records as a duo with his CSNY partner David Crosby.

Contrary to later reports, the darker tone of Wild Tales was not inspired by the murder of Nash's then-girlfriend, Amy Gossage,[citation needed] by her brother – an event that occurred in February 1975.

[5] Rather, Nash was in a sombre mood in the wake of the failures of his earlier relationships with Joni Mitchell and Rita Coolidge, and the unwillingness at the time of the other members of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to reunite for a new album.
